Cyma (Shangri-La Plaza)

My mom invited me for Lunch yesterday at Cyma located at the Shangri-La Plaza. After a few minutes of complaining about how far edsa was i finally gave in and i'm glad i did. i usually like hole in the wall places because they usually have the best food. This holds true in my book for Thai, Chinese, and Sushi places but Cyma was definitely a good experience. 

What we ordered:

1. Taramosalata: greek caviar with salted fish roe served with pita bread

2. Roka Salata (salad): arugula, romaine lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, candied walnuts. shaved parmesan, and greek vinaigrette. 

3. Steak Kabab: skewered beef tenderloin with vegetables

4. Splenda Lemonade and Iced Tea

The Verdict

1. This was really yummy! i love eating salmon with capers on top of crackers and this tasted like it except with really good pita bread. extra points since cyma uses whole wheat.

2. The salad was very fresh and they didn't skimp on the toppings either. I suggest you order it with added blue cheese because that will make the salad even more authentic. My only disappointment was that I found the dressing to be too sweet for my liking. I like tasting the balsamic vinegar when i eat a greek salad but that is just my opinion. I was looking around and most people seem to really enjoy this salad.  

3. I usually base my liking of a greek place on how good the yogurt sauce is since i use plenty of it. Cyma's sauce is to die for! i finished the entire serving of sauce they gave me and i didnt even eat the pita bread. The beef was very tender but it has some type of sauce on it, it was not plainly fire grilled like other places. It did not really bother me since the beef was actually really good. Although, I would prefer it just grilled. 

4. Anything with splenda that tastes good i like. One of the things i hate about dining in Manila is that aside from diet coke everything else is loaded with sugar. I don't have the genes to take in that much calories and not get fat.
