Go Greek! – its about darn time

Finally, something really interesting in the Glorietta food court. Usually when I think of Food Court food, it’s usually been sitting there for quite a while, it’s super oily, it’s been recycled over and over, the sauces are totally watered down, and you just won’t be able to get the same kind of veggies as you would in a restaurant. I couldn’t have been more wrong in this trip to Glorietta. Last Saturday, I discovered the wonderful Go Greek stall, which reminds me a whole lot of a toned down version of Cyma (i wonder if this is another undertaking of Robby Goco). Prices are low, they’ve got these amazing platters made out of salad, a kebab or gyro, potatoes or rice for less than P200. What an absolute deal. This kind of reminds me of a trip to europe, where you realize that all the cheap food are these things that are called “DONER” which is simply a gyro…was wondering how wonderful it would be for us to have that cheap food culture of “DONER” here in our country.

For the side salads, they were, fresh crisp and cool…with a helping of cheese on top. The dressing was light, but you could add a bit more at the condiments area by the cashier.

I went for the potatoes instead of the rice. The skin on potatoes were cooked in olive oil, some herbs and sprinkled with cheese on top. Nice salting.

I didn’t mind the chicken gyro much since the first bite i had seemed to have more fat and skin than usual. I was waiting for my chicken kebab which was slowly being grilled in their kitchen. After about 10-15 minutes, I had my platter. The sauce choices are also nice there were a few kinds: garlic, yogurt, hot sauce, honey mustard, a vinaigrette with lotsa gums.

The chicken kebab was a fair amount, with an onion and tomato sliced in two and alternated with a few chunks of chicken. Marinate and salting was very good, when you close your eyes, you actually don’t expect something like this in a food court.

Overall I just had to write about it since it’s probably the freshest thing that hit the Glorietta food court. I’m probably going to be eating here almost every time I visit this area. 🙂
