NACHOS from Guapita (Food Review)


Third Dish:
Nachos at GUAPITA
in
HIGH CUBE FOOD DISTRICT
Located at South OsmeΓ±a St. General Santos City (in front of DTI).

Here I am again at High Cube food district trying out some snacks, and oh by the way my cousin (Vanessa) ordered this Nachos. Not me. I ordered Chicken Goreng for myself. Albeit not a fan of Nachos but we will give it a review still.

When my cousin ordered Nachos at GUAPITA (which offers Mexican Foods) a few minutes after it was then delivered, not hot nor cold, because it's a snack. All of it's ingredients were prepared already its just there to assemble the whole plate to be serve. But hey, wait! Something is missing the "cheese" which appears in the previous post of High Cube's FB Home Page on February 5. Hmmmmm... if something is missing in the plate they should have told my cousin they ran out of cheese or "maybe" dissolved the idea of adding cheese in. πŸ€”πŸ˜‘πŸ˜ πŸ˜‘

The Nachos located at 1 o'clock appeared to have some cheese on top, but when we ordered the same. Yes, it's missing!

And here it is...
Nacho chips were savory, cuminy and crunchy, laid as an underliner topped with sauteed ground beef properly rendered and it's oozing with beefy essence but a little greasy, the meat on the other hand was way too salty and too cuminy (not sure if this is how Mexicans do properly season their meat for this type of snacks) with its small diced green and red tomatoes accompanied with sweet tomato sauce/salsa ("This salsa traditionally has Chiles de Arbol, tomatoes, garlic, salt and water" - more likely used in spaghetti, although it's spicy, but it appeared to be sweet not sure if this is totally authentic or instead they used tomato sauce with the addition of sugar to sweeten nor sweet tomato sauce as is, to suit in for the Filipino tasting) and sour cream/mayonnaise to counter it's salinity which is present on the beef to make it more balanced.

It would have been made flavorful if they added cheese when we ordered it!

Overall, I like the snack, but having said that the meat was over seasoned the sauce made quite a little redemption on its overall character. Still, you get the Mexican taste in this type of streetfood.

Native Chicken BBQ (Food Review) - Delicious!

Eighth Dish: Native Chicken BBQ Hey guys! I was amazed about this new food hub in Gensan called FOOD TRIP PLAZA . Being here makes me drool, but not just that, I felt truly intimidated because of its wide array of stunning and gorgeous dishes; I just can't simply make a decision from what or which is to order for the past 30-45mins. I just roamed around and asked few stalls regarding their dishes. First off, I asked the TALABA STATION which offers a good varieties of seafoods and shellfishes, but sad to say, as I was craving for their fresh oysters they actually ran out of supply that their next fresh delivery from Iloilo were scheduled 6-7pm during that time I went there, beacause I arrived passed 4pm already and in my hunger I took a stroll and observe some stalls and if I find their dishes welcoming nor appetizing. While having this commotion in me, nonetheless of the choices that were made flat on their table counters; I felt like in restraint to eat or make ...

Native Chicken Inasal and Banana Split (Food Review)

Fifth Dish: Native Chicken Inasal I tried eating at TANOK'Z Chicken Hauz at SM Gensan (located at ground floor), because they are serving "only" a free range chicken or NATIVE CHICKEN which they were known for. This is my first time eating here and this is my experience. MY VERDICT about their food: Tanok'z Chicken Inasal (Pecho Part without drinks  Php 105 ) Size: Just half a size compared to Mang Inasal's Pecho Part. Flavor: The natural umami of the chicken that was left is only about 20-30%, slightly smoky flavor of 15-25%, saltiness of around 30% at most (well seasoned). Texture and doneness: Dry and overdone, chicken has lost almost 99% of moisture (basically dried out already). Which results to a mellow chickeny flavor. It is like almost eating a flavored paper. πŸ˜… But their "free" SOUP does the magic creating a synergistic effect and balance using a light creamy corn soup and a mellow chickeny flavour (chicken inasal) mend t...

Pad Thai, a stir fried noodle dish (Food Guide + Full Review)

Fifteenth Dish: Pad Thai (Stir fried rice noodles) After this long day to finish my errands, I just love to treat myself and my plan was to search for good quality Pork Sisig then went to FOOD TRIP PLAZA then later arrived at around 4:33 pm, since that Turks' Shawarma wasn't good enough to keep me going. When I reach out onto some stalls, I haven't found any that sure has got some calibre to call this as their specialty; I just nod to few of them who offers this type of dish which is for me a "so-so sisig" (not the best and also not the kind of which that I've been looking for that has some thickener which uses either pork brain, chicken liver, mayonnaise or a combination of which), they are perhaps serving it the classical way. Some of which that I've asked was a cheerful girl staff from YUBABA , typically there are two sisig choices in their menu the "Sizzling Pork Sisig" with two different price range but of the same name -- t...
