Foodie Hubs @ SM Center Pasig

Krispy Kreme

@ Krispy Kreme in SM Center Pasig

NomNom Club just had a food trip over the last weekend in Pasig City. For most, the mention of Pasig is usually equated with Barangay Kapitolyo as a foodies’ haven. But SM Center Pasig, along the corner of Julia Vargas and E.Rodriguez Jr., is adding to the foodie options of residents and customers in the area.

Figaro Offers New Breakfast Sliders & Rice Meals

Figaro Taipan Place

Figaro Taipan Place

The urban lifestyle of the average working Filipino is composed of a busy morning going to work, and of course, the work itself. Amidst all these, the Filipino breakfast diet still loves his cup of rice with his meal. Figaro recognizes this and has come up with a morning energy-food set with the “Rice Meal” set for the rice lovers and the “Breakfast Slider“.

Figaro Rice Meals @ Php 99

Figaro, the first Filipino coffee company, brings the Filipinos’ favorite Rice Meals all day any day. Choose from delectable Classic Asado, Pork Tenderloin in Asian Pesto Sauce (top photo), Traditional Adobo, and Breaded Fish with Plum Sauce for Php 199.

The first one is a bite of sweet Classic Asado Rice Meal composed of slices of Chinese-Filipino braised pork asado with rice and a cup of Figaro’s 8oz brewed coffee. The second one is a garlicky Pork Tenderloin Rice Meal (top photo) drizzled with Asian Pesto Sauce served with cucumber and tomato salsa with rice.

The last two are the Traditional Adobo and the Breaded Fish with Plum Sauce. The former is symbolic of Philippine
cuisine pride called Adobo. Although different regions in the Philippines have their own unique way of  cooking their adobo, it is basically a soft stewed pork cooked in soy sauce, vinegar and garlic combining sweet, sour, and salty tastes. Figaro‘s version is served with tomato-cucumber salsa and rice to complement the complete Filipino meal.

Finally, if you are not in the mood for some meat, you can enjoy the Breaded Fish Rice Meal. The seemingly simple breaded cream dory fish crisp-fried served with cucumber-tomato salsa and rice is made  special and unique with the plum sauce.

Recommendations

After trying all four earlier tonight in a taste-test party at Figaro Taipan Place in Ortigas, NomNom Club highly recommends the Pork Tenderloin Rice Meal in Asian Pesto Sauce. It uniquely combines the salt, sweet, and sour taste into the tender pork hihglighted by Figaro’s sweet pesto sauce.

This is followed by the sweet Classic Asado which taps Filipino’s inclination for sweeter entrees. Lastly, you can
also try the Traditional Adobo Rice Meal.

Breakfast Sliders

Figaro also crafted something new for people on-the-go – the Breakfast Sliders. For only Php 139, you get a choice of 2 from the 4 Breakfast Slider choices with a cup of your favorite brewed coffee.

The variants include the Egg Slider, Bacon and Egg Slider, Tapa Slider, and Zucchini Slider.

The Egg Slider obviously comes with scrambled eggs and has tomatoes and lettuce to match while the second one includes a crisp-fried bacon. On the other hand, the Tapa Slider has mushrooms and, of course, tapa. The last one is an all-veggie favorite consisting of zuchhini, peppers, grilled eggplant slices, tomatoes and lettuce with a slice of cheese as well.

So grab a bite of sandwich anytime of the day or before going to an important business meeting.
