Red Spoon's Big Treat!
Text by: Katrina Gail Tan | Photos by: Katrina Gail Tan
Are you that kind of a person who tries various cuisines and dishes? Are you tired of having limited choices when you enter restaurants? Do you want to spend just a little amount of money but consume, as much at you want? If you do, then here is a big treat for you!
Just this year, the Red Spoon restaurant, which is located at the ground floor of the newly constructed EGI Tower, is now open to serve you everyday. The restaurant offers different cuisines be it Chinese, Thai or Filipino. And perhaps, the best part of it is that every dish is deliciously prepared and served.
The first time I entered the restaurant just a few days ago; I was worried that the meals that they are offering are expensive. This is because the place itself is very much conducive for dining. The tables and chairs are clean and have no leftovers. The room smells fresh and feels fresh in spite of the food they serve there. It is air-conditioned very well, which is really fit for a banquet.
The foods that are served are in the counter, although some could be ordered separately. And so, the customer could see the properly prepared and tasteful looking dishes right away. Most of the time, there are available soups for the day, main courses and of course desserts. What I liked most about it is that they change their food offerings everyday. And so, even if I eat there everyday, the experience is always a new thing. Also, just above the counter, there are two TV monitors, which show wonderful episodes of sitcoms like “Friends” and cartoons like ‘The Simpsons.” It was also advertised there that there are times when they show movies or other television shows. That's why dinning there is always a new experience.
As I have mentioned above, the restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes to choose from. For Chinese food lovers, there are dumplings in a cart, which could be purchased anytime. There are also Korean, Thai and other oriental dishes, which are all true to the taste of a real oriental dish. And the most prominent of all the dishes are the Filipino delicacies. They offer a selection of foods from different provinces and the taste is as good as their oriental dishes. The dessert is also to die for! They have cakes, puddings and even different kakanin. My favorite there is the Kapampangan delicacies like Kare-Kare and Bistig.
Although, the biggest treat that Red Spoon yet offers is their eat-all-you can promo for a very low amount of 99 pesos. The last time I went there, this was what I frenzied. So for 99 pesos, I was able to consume delicious Sea Food Chowder, Kare-Kare, Beef Bistig, Le Che Flan and rice.
For me, this was a good idea to sell the place for everyone. It is almost like being there to get entertained while consuming as much as one can consume. So with a good food, clean place and entertainment what more can you ask for?
