Pia Y Damaso - If you studied in Philippines, the name itself will make you think about the famous novel of Jose Rizal, our national hero. Yeah! somehow the name bring back a little of high school days.
Forget about book, because Pia Y Damaso is a cozy food place in Greenbelt 5. The exterior and interior were the one who called my attention- very inviting, warm and charming... The menu s quite intriguing and interesting; touch of "Spanish colonial to Philippines".
Here's some sample of what I'm talking about: our orders.
Lang lang noodle soup- P275
Ingredients include shredded chicken, mushroom, molo, lomi, and sotanghon noodle.

Personally, I find the soup flavorful but salty. An order will sure make you full.
Tubig ni Maria Clara-P230
Cucumber juice with ginger syrup in citrus water
The taste of cucumber is strong but the drink itself is soothing and different.

Chicken pastel-P290
Cooked just right, not too creamy.
Smoked tapang usa (salted Nueva Ecija's deer) - P420
Sound exotic e? Aside from interior, we actually dine in that day because of this. Now I can say that I have eaten a deer ;) This is served with roasted veggies scramble and garlic rice.
Lengua sevillana with olives and mushroom - P460
I just love the taste of their lengua. Period!
Per waiter's recommendation we have Sisa's Dementia for dessert, P169
Truffle cake with white chocolate almond pastille, dark chocolate mousse & ganache.
A cake best with coffee... yeah they do serve coffee.
