I know most of the time, my carbo cravings lead me to Pepper Lunch. However, pasta also is one of my favorite sources of carbs and I’m always in the lookout for tasty new servings. And being the Shangri-La mallrat that I am (that is, whenever I get home early from the hospital), I ended up giving Green Tomato a try. And I’m sure the first visit won’t be the last.
Vegetarian Pasta
And for my first meal there, I ordered Vegetarian Pasta: a tasteful combination of juicy eggplants, zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms and penne pasta drenched in olive oil with herbs (I think I tasted rosemary in it). Damn, it was hot! Deliciously hot! I love how the olive oil complemented the taste of the veggies. And, of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a very generous dash of parmesan cheese! The dish is available for P215 only, if I’m not mistaken.
Raspberry-flavored iced tea
I think adding flavors to iced teas is great! It may be increasing sugar load for the meal, but it makes the drink more exciting. I’m kinda tired of the boring regular iced tea. The drink is available for P55.
And, of course, dessert time!
Dark chocolate orange gelato with almond
I know some chocolate purists wouldn’t want to put “poison” their chocolates by putting in other flavors, however I find that the contrast orange provides is a delicious alternative to having pure chocolate ice cream (or gelato). I’m still looking for the almonds, though. But overall, I enjoyed the dessert enough. It’s available at P70 and has different flavors such as cherry vanilla and strawberry.
It’s good that I found another food hangout at Shangri-La. Been quite guilty of hanging out at PL lately. Haha. And pasta cravings are insatiable, really.
