International weekend: CYMA

Our International Weekend: CYMA
*My problem with blogging, is that I always forget to take pictures!*
What a weekend! Food trip kung food trip!
And so we celebrated our first year anniversary. At first we wanted to dine in a fancy restaurant, but then I realized Bordok (our baby boy) will just make a fuss and get bored. When we eat out, it has to be in a mall, so Bordok can go outside the restaurant anytime, and be entertained with the people passing by.
So we settled on Cyma. It's something new for us; Gegs hasn't tried it before, and the last time I ate here was 4 years ago! It also has good reviews from the blogs I stumbled upon while searching for a place to celebrate. Plus, it's not THAT expensive.. From what I read, it gives value for money.
Since we were on our way to Paranaque, we opted to try Cyma at Eastwood Mall. For starters (we were starving! Lunch at 4pm!), we ordered the Tzatziki mezedes (P120), which is served with pita bread. It was refreshing! I think it was Greek yoghurt with cucumber. We even ordered extra pita bread (P50/4pcs). But ate Tata, our kasambahay and sometimes yaya to Bordy, didn't like the tzatziki, since it was a bit sour. Heehee
Then we followed up with: horiatiki salad (P280/solo) and moussaka (P250). The salad was just okay, a lot of black olives and capers, which gegs loved! I ordered the moussaka since it is the national dish of Greece, and well, we want our adventure to be authentic. Hehe it had lots of meat layered with eggplant and topped with bechamel sauce (I think that's what they call it). It was savory, and the serving was good for sharing.
We also tried their Mixed meat gyro (P200), since I loove shawarmas. This is different! I would've wanted more of the garlic sauce, but it's okay, malinamnam talaga!
For our main, we ordered their lamb shoulder loin chops (P495) served with rice-stuffed peppers and the chicken acropolis pasta (P500/for sharing). I was surprised with their lamb chops, the serving was huge! There were 2 large chops, and on the side was rice-stuffed bell pepper. I love their tender chops! The acropolis pasta is not on their printed menu, but I saw it on their online menu, and the server said it can be requested from the kitchen. I chose well! the acropolis pasta had generous serving of chicken meat, and the sauce was oh so creamy! The topping of spinach went well with the sauce. But I shoud've just ordered the regular size, because we were not able to finish it. We were so full already, even before the pasta arrived! Heehee
The only downside was, their aircon was busted when we were there. And we didn't want to eat outside because the mall was doing repairs, and a guy on a scaffolding was welding something. But other than that, it was a pretty good meal. And the damage to the wallet was less than P2,200! With the feast that we had, it was definitely sulit!
