| - The variety of the menu is very intriguing to me and that's what drew me into choosing this place when meeting up with one of my oldest friends who I haven't seen in awhile. She arrived before me and chose a nice table by the patio. There was a grassy greenbelt-ish area behind her dividing the tall condos nearby. It almost seemed like we were in some other city!
Anyway, back to happy hour, being a bourbon drinker, I ordered the Mizuwari - bourbon, ginger, mineragua (a Mexican club soda). It was a very refreshing, enjoyable cocktail.
I really wanted to order the Jamaican patties, but my friend was trying to stay away from beef or pork, so we agreed on..
Celery Root Hummus Appetizer -pickled veggies, warm toasted bread, paesano olive oil. As someone who doesn't really enjoy veggies but learning to, I really enjoyed the pickled vegetables. The hummus had a thinner consistency than I'm accustomed to but it made it feel lighter with great taste. Maybe it meant it was healthier and I didn't have to feel as guilty about eating it too? Eh, wishful thinking probably but still good
Indian Butter Chicken Samosas - they had the appearance of those Chinese crab wontons but indeed were far from it and better of course! We really loved these chicken samosas. The taste and texture reminded me of really tasty empanadas but stylish looking ones. Definitely worth the order!
Gregorio Pizza - these pizzas are personal sized. Prosciutto, arugula, pine nut marscapone, and fig vinegarette. These 3 ingredients were a trifecta of my favorite tastes in one. I enjoyed this but this particular one, the cheese was a bit on the crispier overdone side so if I could re-order this perfectly, I wish the cheese was more similar to my friend's Grateful Shroom where there was more cheese and it was melted perfectly! I was having cheese jealousy looking at hers!
Filipino Kush - this I ordered to go and I was an idiot and forgot it on the table when we left!!! I am devastated because I really wanted to try this one since it was giving a shout out to my Filipino roots with housemade Longanisa sausage! I used to eat Longanisa sausages with eggs and rice for breakfast plenty of mornings. My mom always had it around! Oh well, I guess I'll have to try it another time!
The eclectic atmosphere and world inspired menu are both things that make for a great adventurous happy hour. I'm curious about trying more things next time! Hopefully that Filipino pizza will still be around for me to try it!
