Kiss The Cook Gourmet, Quezon City

I once saw a friend post on Facebook that they were at a restaurant along Maginhawa Street in Quezon City called “Kiss the Cook”.  I had actually seen it while going home one day, so I decided that I should try it out one of these days. A few days before another friend described it as “cozy but pricy.” Anyway… I had to see for myself.

Finding the place is rather easy. Basically, it is in front of Holy Family School, to the right of a BPI.

The place itself is quite cozy indeed. It had a nice ambience about it.

Nice tasteful furniture

and definitely an artsy feel to it.

They had three soups on the menu. Which I found very odd. The first two were both variants of Onion Soup. So we ordered the Ham and Cord chowder. Yum. Very creamy.

We ordered a pitcher of Lemon Grass Tea (P80)

Angie ordered this very asian-inspired dish called Bibimbap (P275). Yeah, first time I heard of that. Noodles, bean sprouts, egg…

I asked the waiter what the specialy was… or the most ordered dish was. The waiter suggested “Grilled Afghan Chicken” (P225)

The dish was interesting. I didn’t know what to expect from something “Afghan Grilled”. But it was good.

For dessert. I ordered frozen yogurt. I had the two scoops of Real Vanilla Bean. The other scoop was Pistachio. Ok, the scoops below were the size of golf balls, really small. And each serving is 3 scoops.

Angie ordered the Mango Pana Cotta

The whole mean totaled P900 flat. Quite pricy indeed for a party of two. The whole experience was indeed pleasant. The place had great ambience. The dishes were very nicely presented. I hear that the place is a great evening place. The only problem is that it had parking for 4 vehicles in front (which is actually quite good for an establishment along Maginhawa).
