Food + Travel = Food Trip: July 2015

Kebab Konner, my friend, is definitely a must try restaurant especially if you're like me who's so fond of flavorful food -- lots of herbs and spices kind of flavor.

I noticed during my two visits, most of the diners have shawarma or kebab on their plate. Do yourself a favor and don't be afraid to try out something different. There's a lot that Mediterranean cuisine has to offer.

Stay away from the iced tea once and try the lassi (yogurt drink). I always order something with paneer (cheese: Indian cooking), especially if I can't decide on what to have coz everything on the menu's so alien to me.

I'll surely be back for more. I prefer to order one dish at a time for every visit, so the strong flavors won't mess up my joyful taste buds.

Don't be fooled by the price on the menu. Everything's good for sharing and have chapati instead of rice, always perfect with these dishes! This is my first time giving a perfect 5 on all of my satisfaction levels ;) (and still can't stop blabbering)...

Here's what I tried and a glimpse of the place. BTW, excellent service too. A long wait for the food though but definitely worth it. They even gave a complementary papadum coz of the long wait.

The Food

complementary papadum

Paneer Tikka (Php 260)

The menu said diced cottage cheese marinated with Indian tandoori masala and yogurt, so I was expecting diced: like thumb nail like sizes. The actual size is jaw dropping coz I'd think it was tofu. But it's cheese alright. All those flavors bursting in my mouth! Perfect with chapati. I love it!!!

Chapati (Php 40/ pc)

Never underestimate a chapati. Looks thin but it is indeed filling, and always perfect for saucy dishes. This is gorgeous.

(Half) Tandoori Chicken (Php280)

It looks dry but it's moist, soft, perfectly grilled, and full of flavor.

Plain Rice (Php 100)

I know the price is bizarre for plain rice, I even expected it to be just a cup. The best rice I ever tasted! Long grain and tasty; and it was a platter. I have to thank my son for this coz he was the one who wanted it.

Lassi (Php 100)

I got the salted one and it's yummy. Though I find it too creamy and the finely shaved ice easily melts, giving me the impression of just having fresh milk. I have a comparison for a better yogurt shake, but since it's too far I'll settle for this :)
