Ambience: This was our first time dining in after the…read morerenovation, making the establishment look a bit wider. Since we were in the mood for a snack, we decided to check out their appetizers. As we looked at the prices for the variety of their hummus, we kept it simple and got our usual order. Lentil Soup: Pretty good! Just think monggo. If you like it, I'd recommend this. Hummus: One of the reasons why we love eating hummus (chickpea and sesame dip) at any branch is the bread coming in two pieces. Presentation was attractive and appetizing. Serving size was generous. Taste was simply perfect and I'll always love this dish, so much that I'd bring it to the movies instead of popcorn! Plain Lassi: I'm a fan of yogurt shakes! Sweet or salty, heck, I'll have it both ways! Service: They seemed pretty knowledgeable about their menu. We were asking for a simple soup recommendation and they suggested Lentil Soup, comparing it to monggo. That made our decision very easy! (for July 2018)

Cyma has been around for quite some time now so I can't even say how many times I've eaten here…read more The first branch that I remember is the one in Shangri-La. I've eaten there, and in the Eastwood branch as well. To be quite honest, I have a slew of friends that sing Cyma's praises all day long but I find it to be quite average. With the exception of the salad which is always a delight to eat regardless of which one you order, but my personal favorite is the Horiatiki Salata (traditional Greek village salad). For the main, I've always preferred the shoulder loin lamb chops. It's somewhat on the bland side, but lamb is the love of my life so that's just fine. It's my personal experience that you can't go wrong with the gyros, if you're stumped on what to order.

Our stay at the Shangri-La included daily breakfast at High Street Cafe, and while I'm often guilty…read moreof skipping hotel breakfast in favor of sleep, I made sure to catch this one every morning of our trip. Part of this is that I needed fuel for our busy travel days, but the rest is that the buffet was genuinely excellent. High Street Cafe is a massive restaurant on the lobby level of the Shangri-La. It's the kind of buffet you only see in Vegas or big Asian luxury hotels, an attractive, opulent space with tons of seating and a dozen different stations serving a tantalizing variety of food. Service is quick and attentive. You check in at the front desk and get escorted to a table, where you can order beverages and send any hot made-to-order dishes. The offerings are wide-ranging enough for all guests to get the genre of breakfast they desire. There is, of course, everything you might expect at a normal hotel breakfast buffet--pastries and cereal, cheese and cold cuts, bacon and sausage, eggs from an omelet station. I don't really go for much of that, at home or abroad, which is why I so often sleep through hotel breakfast. I do get out of bed for Asian food, and High Street has plenty in that department. My favorite part of the buffet is the noodle station, where you can get your own mini noodle soup assembled while you watch, from a selection of rice or egg noodles, chicken, vegetable, or spicy Taiwanese broth, and a small variety of proteins and vegetables. I tried several different permutations and liked them all, though I preferred the egg noodles to the rice noodles and the soothing chicken broth to the beef broth, which was a little too salty. I added chicken and beef and, better yet, fishcake and springy fish balls, plus bok choy and mushroom, chili oil and calamansi, and other unidentified condiments to boost the broth. There's a congee station, too, and a daily selection of dim sum and fried rice and stir-fried noodles. I did okay with the dim sum, some middling shumai and bao, and the rice and noodles were nice when I felt like a few bites of basic Chinese take-out. I liked the dosa station, where I got really really nice thin, golden dosa filled with spiced potato and accompanied by a couple of savory sauces. The Filipino section is a highlight, welcoming diners to "rice and shine Pinoy style," with a rotating variety of Filipino breakfast dishes, great with the fluffy sinangag, or garlic fried rice. As far as I can tell, Manila isn't a city where you come in as a tourist and find a bounty of small local restaurants serving the national cuisine, and I was glad to get a sampling of it here, at the breakfast buffet of my corporate-owned luxury hotel. Over the course of five breakfasts, I tried picadillo, chicken tocino, bistek tagalog, smoked bangus, corned beef, tuyo, and pork adobo, and helped myself to the kamayan corner, with its array of dried fish and pickles and vinegary condiments. There's a grab-and-go dessert buffet as well as a juice area, where I got a couple shot glasses of random juices and once, a weird chia seed thing that looked better than it tasted. For the most part, I finished my breakfast with sliced fruit from the fruit bar. Cantaloupe and watermelon, pineapple and papaya, orange and white guava, all of it pretty fresh and sweet. I doubt I ever ate enough to get my money's worth if I were paying separately for breakfast, but I enjoyed my daily noodle soup and rice and shine, as well as grazing across the other stations. High Street Cafe is an outstanding hotel buffet, a definite credit to the Shangri-La.

One should be wary about opening a kebab place in this area, and yet Kite steps up to the plate. Kite is more of a bar that happens to serve Persian stuff than it being a proper middle eastern resto. The joint doesn't try to look middle eastern; instead you get a casual, relaxed, almost homey bar that is not intimidating at all. As for the food, it was brilliant. I had a Mediterranean BBQ Chicken thigh fillet and a Wagyu kebab. The chicken was properly spiced and was tender and flavorful. However, the Wagyu kebab stole the meal. Four cubes of tender melt-in-your-mouth, bursting with flavor in your mouth... It was absolutely heavenly. It was so good, i did not want to drown the flavor with any of their sauces, preferring instead to savor each cube on its own. Am not ready to give this place five stars just yet, though. Give me two or three more visits and i may change my mind. But yeah, i think Kite is damned good, and i am ready to go back soon.

This place fits right into the artsy hip vibe that has encompassed this neighborhood over the last few years. The decor inside is warm and inviting with murals on the walls and tables hand made from reclaimed wood. The outdoor seating is just as beautiful with the perfect amount of lighting. The menu they have currently for their soft opening is small and simple. Kebabs, salads, wraps and if you're hungry Biryani. I had already had my dinner, but couldn't resist having a little snack. I went with the wagyu beef kebab, paired with the Falafel salad and some Baba Ganoush. Ok, so a little bit bigger than a snack. ;) The wagyu was juicy and flavourful as you'd expect. You only get 4 cubes per order, but for the price it's a pretty good deal. The falafel salad was my favorite, with falafel, feta, grapes and tomatoes in a nice light dressing. The falafel was cooked perfectly, not dry at all, with nicely balanced flavor. I've always liked hummus more than Baba Ganoush, but now that has changed. It was packed with flavor and a good amount of smokey-ness. The pita was also really good, which I'm told they make themselves. Overall, it was a great little meal. I look forward to coming back with a few friends for dinner. It's great to see people with a vision to create not just great food, but great experiences with it. The restaurants name 'Kite', stems from the symbolism of the word. To dream, to imagine, to create... Having only been open for 3 days, it's the calm before the storm. Before the people come soaring in the door of Kite.
