It's a big food celebration this year at SM Mega Fashion Hall Mega Food Fest 2017 from April 2-5 2017.
When I arrived, I was already overwhelmed with the food choices as there are 17 food booths to choose from. And, most of them offer more than one dish. I was also surprised with the pricing! It's so affordable!
8 Cuts Burger
The first one that got my attention was 8 Cuts Burger. Their offering is a classic which I've missed since I have always been a fan as I've shared here.
Cibo
To pair my 8 Cuts Cheeseburger, I got some drinks from Cibo.
Did you know that Cibo is now celebrating its 20th year? I've shared my love for their dishes before here.
So I just got Te Freddo Iced Tea.
Taco Vengo
It's my first time to try Taco Vengo. The Korean Beef Taco is a must try!
Bliss Bowls
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try Bliss Bowls' Berry Bliss Smoothie Bowl. I will try that next time!
Makansutra
I have to admit, I still have not tried Makansutra.
Now that I've tried their Braised Chicken w/ Yam Rice, I'll make some time to their other dishes soon.
Having tried other Raintree Restaurants, it just occurred to me that I have never tried Chelsea Kitchen.
This Truffle Spinach Dip is so addictively good! Gotta love the presentation too. Definitely instagrammable. (Yes, posting that on my IG soon)
Sarsa
Sarsa knows how to appease me.
I could never resist a good palabok and the Sarsa Palabok is more than just good! The price is a steal too! For 120 php you get one with drinks.
Yabu
Yabu has so many branches now and always with lines. For such reason, I have not revisited it for quite some time. Could you believe my last visit was already 5 years ago? I was surprised that they now have Katsu Sliders so I just had to try some.
Alqueria
You can't usually order a paella when you're dining solo or twosome. So when you can order one for an affordable price, you just have to grab it! Got myself all of Alqueria's offering.
Satchmi
Satchmi's Cold Brew was already sold out by the time I arrived. It was only 3 pm! I was a bit saddened but more curious to want to try it next time. I was able to try their Cafe Latte though and it was really good!
Le Petit Souffle
Perfect for the summer, I got myself some really creamy Green Tea Ice Cream from Le Petit Souffle.
If only I wasn't full already, I'd also try some Green Tea Cake.
LAVA Cheese Tarts
I've tried a couple of Japanese Tarts but not one like Lava Cheeese Tart's Gorgonzola with Honey.
Cheese lovers will sing for joy with just a biteful of these.
Sweetea's by da.u.de
While I'm usually inclined towards gourmet fragrant tea blends, I found the Citrus Tea quite refreshing. The sweetness is mellow so it was pleasing to the taste buds. It cleansed my palate after having tried so many dishes.
Linguini Fini
When it comes to gourmet Italian, I have always considered Linguini Fini as one of the top. Their Linguini Adobo Gemolata is one of the best savory pasta I've had.
Fireside by Kettle
The Truffle Potato Chips was gone in 60 seconds. Need I say more?
Cooking Demonstration
I was also able to watch the cooking demonstration by Chef Miko Aspiras. What amazed me was his creativity for using unique ingredients to simple delicacies.
Later on, Chef Margarita Flores shared her success story which for me was very inspiring. I've always been a fan of hers. I really liked Cibo. Lusso is really good too but being practical I tend to be more favorable towards Cibo. Perhaps, I should try her other restaurants too.
So grab your chance to drop by SM Mega Fashion Hall Mega Food Fest 2017! It's a good thing that the pricing is very affordable because I'm sure you can't just order one dish. You'd want to try more! (Check out my #eatmega #megafoodfest2017 food posts and stories on instagram @tsinoyfoodies)

Greenbelt 5 is one of the grandest and luxurious mall in the Philippines. It hosts numerous stores of elite brands. Aside from retail, there are also many restaurants in Greenbelt 5. One of the famous dining places in Greenbelt 5 is Cibo. Cibo is a modern Italian restaurant with various branches. It first branch was established way back in 1997.
ANTIPASTI.starters
 |
| ♥Spinaci Zola (235 php) |
The Spinaci Zola (spinach,gorgonzola) is a special spinach dip with gorgonzala cheese and olive oil. It comes with hot french bread served in a steel tray. This is one of Cibo's best sellers. It is also the most delicious spinach dip I have ever tried. The success of this dip is the proper blending between the spinach bits, gorgonzola cheese and olive oil. Cibo did it perfectly!
PANINI.sandwiches
 |
| Verdure Tartufate (205 php) |
The Verdure Tartufate (Tuscan wholewheat, asparagus, zucchini, fontina, mushroom-truffle, paste) is a light tasting grilled sandwich served with potato chips. It was good but it was not as sensational as the other dishes we had during that time.
INSALATA.salads
 |
| Insalata Di Verdura alla griglia (208 php) |
This beautiful Insalata Di Verdura alla griglia (grilled eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, red pepper, yellow peppers, red pesto) had a light taste of pesto. I loved this dish because you could appreciate the natural flavor of the grilled eggplant.
PASTA.pasta
Cibo gives their customers the option of choosing between their default regular pasta or wheat pasta. As health conscious individuals, we chose the wheat pasta although the preparation time is 15 minutes longer. As expected, the wheat pasta was tougher to chew than the regular. We totally don't mind since we're used to wheat pasta having this type of texture.
 |
| Spaghettini Alla Pecatora (263 php) |
The Spaghettini Alla Pecatora (sauteed seafood, stewed tomato) is the typical seafood tangy pasta with stewed tomato with a hint of saltiness. The dish is good but it did not leave any unique impression.
 |
| Rigatoni All'Alfonso (325 php) |
The Rigatoni All'Alfonso (shrimps, chives, stewed tomato, cream, chili peppers) is a pasta with a twist because of the mixture of red tomato sauce and cream. Aside from that, it also had a great blending of the sweetness from the shrimp and light spiciness from the chili peppers. It was the best among all our pasta orders.
 |
| Farfalle Alla Genovese (263 php) |
Unlike the others, which where angel hair pastas, the Farfalle Alla Genovese (mushrooms, basil, pesto, cream) had bow-tie noodles. I'm not really a fan of pesto pasta because it gets too tiring to eat ("nakakumay") when you eat a certain amount. But Cibo's Farfalle Alla Genovese had a light pesto taste blended with the cream so it was really good.
 |
| Spaghettini Ala Primavera (240 php) |
The Spaghettini Ala Primavera (asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, mushroom, red & yellow peppers, cream) is a light pasta dish. Sometimes, its also satisfying to eat pasta with simple taste like this one.
MANZO.beef
 |
| ♥Tagliata Di Manzano Fontina Pomodoro (443 php) |
The Tagliata Di Manzano Fontina Pomodoro (beef tenderloin, roast, sliced, foccacia, topped by fontina tomato) was the most expensive dish we ordered but it was certainly the best! We've dined at different Italian restaurants before but it was our first time to try this dish. The beef was thinly sliced like the Carpaccio, another great Italian dish. However, instead of vinegar, this had tomatoes, cheese, olive oil and a hint of wine.
PIZZA.pizza
 |
| Napolitana and Caviale Salmone Pizza |
It's great the you could order two flavors in one because they have so many pizza varieties, you'd want to taste as much as you can. We chose half Napolitana (tomato, mozzarella, olives, capers, anchovy) in tomato sauce and half Caviale Salmone (Mozzarella, lumpfish caviar, smoked salmon, cream cheese and chives) which had white sauce. The Napolitana offered a great blend of sourness from the tomato paste and saltiness from the anchovies. On the other hand, the Caviale Salmone was unique because it had lumps of lumpfish caviar and cream cheese and thinly sliced of smoke salmon. I enjoyed the experience of eating pizza with caviar.
Cibo is one of the few restaurants known for their consistency in terms of excellent tasting dishes and service. It also has a modern and cozy ambiance. We'd gladly come back to taste more of Cibo's dishes.
