Food trip: Wicked Kitchen

Long time no blog! And I'm back because I've something blog-worthy to write about..and yes it's about food :))

So my college barkada decided to meet and eat with a little videoke on the side since we kind of missed each other naks! The first suggestion was to try something around Maginhawa but then one suggested a restaurant in Katipunan which is at walking distance from the IC building, and so after googling the resto, looking at pictures of the food, we'v decided to try it out...and the desserts have intriguing names, like sinful names haha!

We ordered something from each of the courses just so we could at least try everything. We had a platter of appetizers (I forgot the name of the 'package' meal) wherein we got to choose 3 different appetizers for sharing - we had the cheesesticks, drunken calamari, buffalo chicken.

App Sampler P248

I liked the buffalo chicken the most, hot and spicy!!! Although I think we ordered the 'just right' and not the 'spicy' buffalo chicken, haha can't imagine how spicy the 'spicy' version is. The mayo/sour cream dip added a  little flavor but didn't mask the spiciness of the chicken. The drunken calamari was also good though I didn't taste the beer (one of my friends said she can taste it though haha) maybe because I put a lot of the dip and just ate it with the lettuce. I liked the sesame flavor added to the lettuce, just the right level of sweetness. The cheesesticks were okay but not worth it (HAHA), tasted weird at the end..like that of processed foods or maybe I'm just not familiar with the kind of cheese :)) And the price is just right especially if you're sharing.

Ex's Lasagna P205

For the pasta, we ordered the Ex's lasagna and the seafood aglio. I had high expectations for the Ex's lasagna since it has the star figure which I think means it's a bestseller or chef's choice..but it was okaaaaay. I like the cheesiness but not a fan of sweet red sauce for pastas hehe :) The aglio on the other hand was very good - the parmesan cheese was unlimited, it wasn't too oily, the garlic-y and pepper-y taste was right, and the basil leaves gave a different taste but not that powerful, in short, the flavors mixed well. The bread was very HARD  hahahahahaha!

Seafood Aglio P198

We also had the barbecue ribs and fish and chips from the main course section. The barbecue rib was also good - it's like medium rare, I mean you don't have to fight the good fight just so you can have a bite of the meat hahaha! Though the mashed potato seemed too dry for me...or not too creamy pala! hehe! The fish and chips tasted like every fish and chips, I mean like everything I've tasted so far in my entire life hahaha!

Fish and chips P189

BBQ Ribs P268

And then comes the 7 deadly sins....I mean the desserts. The desserts were named after the 7 deadly sins - Pride, Wrath, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and Greed.We were able to try 4 out of 7, supposedly 5 but pride, lust and greed weren't available :((

Wrath P148

WRATH was the first to be served. It's mango crepe with alcohol! The waiter was holding a cup of alcohol (drinking alcohol) that was lit and he said to get our cameras ready so we could take a picture of the crepe that's on FIRE!! hahaha! In all fairness, the presentation of a dessert on fire made all the difference :)) 

I liked wrath among all the desserts we had, it wasn't too sweet like all the other crepes I have tasted, even the chocolate syrup wasn't that sweet. Also the alcohol gave a little twist - that bittersweet taste :)

Next was ENVY which is my second favorite. Moist chocolate cake with peppermint 'something/syrup' on top. The cake was very moist...and very hot! hahahaha! It was like eating a peppermint chocolate (andes chocolate...or dynamite candy) hahaha! Sloth is similar to envy without the peppermint. 

Envy P172

Sloth P178

And GLUTTONY is a chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream on top. The cookie was crisp on the outside and soft inside..it taste like what my mother and I baked the first time...too sweet for me hahaha!

Gluttony P155

SO there. I didn't think I'd be so full after eating since I was hungry when we came in haha (patay gutom lang). The price was expensive (at least for me..especially the pasta) comparing to other restaurants I've been to which has similar   menu. Though if you are sharing with at least one person, it's okay. The serving size is good for at least two persons. Overall, it was a good experience. At least we got to try a lot from their menu especially the desserts! I think I want to try pride, greed and lust some other time :))

Half of LBT :)
