Flavours Cafe by Chef Fham Redux

After trying out a new restaurant, it's always a good idea to come back for a second visit. There's always something new to discover and experience, and Chef Fham Sarmiento always has something up her sleeves...

...and I find myself back at Flavours Cafe by Chef Fham one late Sunday afternoon.

After a great dinner at Flavours Cafe (see my previous post on Flavours Cafe by Chef Fham here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2015/04/weaving-unique-flavors-at-flavours-cafe.html), there were other items on the menu that got my attention, and made a note of these dishes for a second visit. One of these dishes is the Steak and Eggs Salad (P 195), with tender beef steak on iceberg and romaine lettuce, cherry tomato, black and green olives, and red onions in a mildly spicy Sriracha vinaigrette topped with a delicately poached egg. There's just something about steak and a poached egg on a salad. And this dish does not disappoint. The rich, beefy notes of the steak and the richness of the poached egg are tempered by the sharpness of the Sriracha vinaigette, the black and green olives, and the red onions for balanced flavors. The fresh, crisp greens add both texture and flavor, making this an ideal starter before the main dish...

...the Crispy Belly (P 220), with breaded crispy liempo, chili sarsa, and crispy egg on steamed white rice. The breading adds a whole new texture and flavor to the usual crispy pork liempo, adding even more crunch to contrast with the tender and juicy pork. The fresh, clean and tart notes of the tomato, onion and cucumber salsa balances the richness of the pork, and the crispy sunny side-up completes the dish. The side of liver sauce adds familiar flavors to the dish, with its mildly sweet notes. Rich and comforting flavors and value for money combine for a winning combo, and a good enough reason for a second visit at Flavours Cafe by Chef Fham.

Flavours Cafe by Chef Fham is located at the 4th Floor of the POS Building on Scout Marinan corner Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City or call 587-6486 for inquiries.
