Tenth and Eleventh Dish:
Grilled Chicken Satay
and
Grilled Tuna Belly
and
Grilled Tuna Belly
Since Eat Right 212°F already garnered a huge deal of attention, I on the other hand took my second attempt to experience some of their dishes once more. With a good customer service and a good sheer of food options to choose from. This day I arrived at dusk and amazed by it's number of diners that are filling up almost every tables.
With all these gregarious customers and still by observation if not mistaken 1/3 of the overall customers haven't been served yet. But yet again, I waited patiently and ever since the moment I came, ordered and sat at the corner from where the door entrance is at, noone has ever served me anything while waiting.
I believed, in a good restaurant must have any complimentary drink or something to eat - like bread or so. Hence, that doesn't count in a place like this with a large number of customers that was still in line for their meals to be served, I think it's a must.
Without any more fancy details, let's go straight ahead to the dish I ordered - the Grilled Chicken Satay and Grilled Tuna Belly.
♨Fun Fact:
Satay:
»or sate in Indonesian spelling, is a dish of seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. It is a dish of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Satay may consist of diced or sliced chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork, fish, other meats, or tofu; the more authentic version uses skewers from the midrib of the coconut palm frond, although bamboo skewers are often used. These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings.

Philippines' version of Satay:
In the majority of the Philippines, satay (especially pork or chicken) is referred to by the generic English name "barbecue" (usually shortened to "BBQ"). This association is the source of the portmanteau names for other popular street foods that are also served skewered, such as banana cue ("banana" + "barbecue") and camote cue ("camote (sweet potato) + barbecue").

»Satay is known as Satti in the Southern Philippines (especially in the regions of Zamboanga, Sulu Archipelago and Tawi-Tawi). Satti is usually made from chicken or beef among Muslim Filipinos. It is particularly popular in Tausug cuisine and is commonly eaten as breakfast in restaurants which specialize in satti. It is typically served with ta'mu (pusô in other Philippine languages) and a bowlful of warm sauce.

»Offal-based versions of satay are also commonly sold in the Philippines as street food. The most popular are made from chicken or pork intestines known as isaw. Other variants use liver, tripe, lungs, chicken heads and feet, cubes of coagulated pork blood, and pork ears, among others.

Judgment Time: 😈😋
»their Chicken Satay skewered with slices of deseeded cucumber and red bell peppers was pungent, turmeric base, infused using a middle eastern spice (cumin) and were seasoned just fine, garnished with sauteed onions and bell peppers to heighten its aroma which also adds a tad bit of caramelized sweetness; but its overall doneness were overcooked, tough and almost sandy in texture with having resemblance to Philippine curry taste.😅🤔
Nonetheless, using lean meat it should have been cooked very carefully because of its vulnerability to high fire with an ample dexterity it should have been taken cared of.
»their Grilled Tuna Belly was surprisingly fresh, chunky and surely worth the price; with this you will never go wrong and be ready to be stuffed up. These meaty chunks of tuna was well seasoned, grilled perfectly, moist, flaky and oozing with umami essence. Truly satisfying!
One strange reason that comes to mind was this were also drizzled/garnished with minced sauteed onions and bell peppers. Though it helped the overall flavours but kept me wondering why am I having the same kind of touch when they finish this delicate pieces of tuna. Hmmmmmm... 🤔
»this also comes with clean and straightforward soy base dipping sauce, with 3/5 part acidity, 2/5 part soy saucy accent and lastly 2/5 part sweetness. This sweetness is different not from granulated sugar, I believed this comes from the slivers of onions which creates a synergistic effect along with its vinegar's subtle sweetness.
»Black rice were also fresh with distinctive fragrance and were thoroughly cooked, with slightly medium chewiness (still remained consistent).
»another thing which remained constant was there vegetable stir fry (carrots, cabbage and lettuce) with contrasting sweetness, nutty and crispness, cooked delightfully perfect. Lovely! Without this bed of garden veges your experience in this restaurant will never be complete. Refreshingly decadent! 😋👌
Overall, as a Filipino. It's worth the try (relating to Chicken Satay), though not a fan of middle eastern spices but still I managed to appreciate its delicate flavor. Also, even if the whole flavor profiling was thoroughly thought of - its meat's doneness was not I was just expecting which leads me to the idea of not ordering it again.
The Grilled Tuna on the other hand was - well... I had nothing to complain nor suggest about. That was just a marvelous piece of Tuna that I've ever came across to my palate, from the treasures of the seas it is truly magnificent and worth the high praise. Very welcoming! Very delicate! Very tasty! Very straightforward! Delicious! 👍😋❤
