Simultaneously launched with
Oasis Garden Cafe is
Waterside Restobar.
Waterside specializes in Latin American and Mediterranean cuisine.
It.has a modern interior that gives a semblance of luxury.
It
has a bright, colorful and classy bar area.
There are noticeably two
types of dining areas, one with the usual table.and chair set up and the
other with tall tables and stools.
There are different stations which
are all equipped with baking and cooking kitchen.
I liked that every station is open and visible to the
diners so you can view every chef at work and how your food is
meticulously prepared.
There are also
dessert chillers.
Some are apparently not filled up yet.
Food
 |
| Complimentary Bread Basket |
I love the rolls filled with green olives!
Tapas
Fish
 |
| Sardinillas |
The
Sardinillas is mackarel swimming in smooth and fruity olive oil with fragrant garlic bits. It is served with crusty bread. I loved this!
 |
| 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.
Vegetables
 |
| Banderillas Sharing (690 php) |
The
Banderillas is sticks of olives wrapped in piquillo pepper and grated garlic.
Paella
 |
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
 |
| Beef Brisket, Jumbo Prawns, Crack Back Chicken and Inihaw na Liempo *sample size |
T
he 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
 |
| Chimichurri, Bordelaise and Red Pepper Spackles |
Costar
 |
| Asparagus |
The shredded
Asparagus is paired with goat milk and lemon. It's refreshing but not too interesting for non-veggie lovers.
 |
| Humita |
The
Humita is so sweet and at the same time so spicy!
 |
| Crushed |
The Crushed is scuffed carbonara potatoes. It is so good that I don't mind loading up with those carbs.
Sweets
 |
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.
 |
| 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!
