Boquorones Sharing (750 php)

I'm glad that Waterside introduced me to Boquorones.  It is a fish dish in vinegar with runny eggs drizzled with aoili sauce.  I found it interesting though I couldn't eat mush due to its tanginess.

Meat

Chorizo Sharing (680 php)
The Chorizo is topped with mini bits of melon topped with mint leaves.  There's an interesting affinity of fruity, meaty and minty essence within this dish.

Jabugo Sharing (900 php)
The Jabugo is thinly sliced ham topped with melon (supposed to be pineapple on the menu) and bleu cheese laid over bread.

Paella
waterside restobar
Paella Valenciana *sample size
The Paella Valenciana is saffron-spiced bomba rice with chicken chunks, chorizo, hard-boiled egg, prawns and pimiento.  My friends loved this.  However, it was too wet for my preference.

La Parilla-The Grill

waterside restobar
Beef Brisket, Jumbo Prawns, Crack Back Chicken and Inihaw na Liempo *sample size

The highlight of our meal is the wooden board filled with Beef Brisket, Jumbo Prawns, Crack Back Chicken and Inihaw na Liempo.  I loved the Beef Brisket which was twice cooked, poached and charred.  Next to that, I enjoyed the Crack Back Chicken which was brined, roasted and BBQ glazed.

Sauces and Dips
waterside restobar
Chimichurri, Bordelaise and Red Pepper Spackles

Costar
waterside restobar
Asparagus
The shredded Asparagus is paired with goat milk and lemon.  It's refreshing  but not too interesting for non-veggie lovers.

waterside restobar
Humita
The Humita is so sweet and at the same time so spicy!

waterside restobar
Crushed
The Crushed is scuffed carbonara potatoes.  It is so good that I don't mind loading up with those carbs.

Sweets
waterside restobar
Pineapple Ravioli (260 php)
The Pineapple Ravioli is an unforgettable dessert.  It is a citrusy sorbet wrapped in thin cool sheets of pineapple topped with chili bits.  I'm amazed at the craftiness and creativity placed into this.  

waterside restobar
Dark Chocolate (260 php)
If you're looking for a total chocolate indulgence, then I'm sure you'll be more than fulfilled with the dark, rich and heavy chocolate consistency of the Dark Chocolate.   It is served with sour raspberry jelly and cream which you'll need to sooth your palette from the over chocolate indulgence.

Overall, I loved the experience!  It has certainly broadened my flavor exploration for Latin American and Mediterranean Cuisine.  Congratulations Waterside for a great launch!
