Mad For Garlic: Great Garlicky Meal (W Global Center BGC Taguig) (Closed)

The family was craving for vegetarian pizza so went to the Bonifacio Global City area to try Nolita.  But, the crowded Nolita didn't serve any non-meat selections so we searched for other options.  We were supposed to go for P.F. Chang's as an after-thought but the queue was long so we settled for Mad for Garlic instead.

We were the second in line so we had the chance to search the net for feedback about it.  I got to learn that it is actually an Italian restaurant concept from Korea.  The reviews about the place was mixed of good and bad so we all had our fingers crossed.

The interiors were very classy as the dining area is surrounded by wine displays.  We all thought that the lamps that looked like garlic cloves were cool.

Food

Pasta

♥ Triple Garlic Pasta (595 php)

The Triple Garlic Pasta has mussels, shrimps, cuttle fish and of course, garlic sprouts.  Everything about this dish is excellent especially the texture of the pasta.  The pasta was firm and chewy which is how I liked it.

♥ Crab and Lobster Pasta (475 php)

Although I always prefer red sauce to cream sauce, on this rare occasion, I enjoyed the Crab and Lobster Pasta more.  The taste was mild but addictive.  I couldn't help but indulge from one forkful to another.


Pizza

♥ Garlic Snowing Pizza (545 php)

We were wondering why it was called Garlic Snowing Pizza until the server did this.

♥ Garlic Snowing Pizza (545 php)

As suggest by all social media tips, the Garlic Snowing Pizza is a must order!  It is a thin-crusted pizza which small shrimps, pineapple bits, fried sliced garlic and grated cheese. 

Ratatouille Ricotta Pizza Family (425 php)

Our last dish is the Ratatouille Ricotta Pizza.  I love how colorful this healthy pizza turned out to be.  It's a very light pizza with button mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, chery tomatoes, herb garlic and garlic ricotta cheese.

Dessert

♥ Garlic Sprinkle Gelato (195 php)

I think all my family members are garlic addicts so when we tried the Garlic Sprinkle Gelato, we had to order one for each and adopted a no sharing policy.  Not even that crispy garlic almond cookie was spared.

Update (December 2014): Passed by this when we ate at PF Changs and it is now closed and replaced by Ramen Iroha.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
We had a really great garlicky meal thanks to Mad for Garlic.  I'm glad we landed there by accident.  Everything was just brilliantly complemented by the bold garlic flavors.  It was awesome!  I have to admit it was really pricey but it was money well spent for me.  I would also like to commend our server who was always happy to serve.
