Mesa opens its 43rd branch in SM Mall of Asia and finally, I get to dine at Mesa for the very first time.
Yes, it's quite ironic that with 43 branches, I only have this chance to dine at Mesa.
So let me share what I've missed all this time.
Food
Appetizer
 |
| Tawilis with Mangga on a Spoon (155 php) |
I've always loved Tawilis. Although I love it cooked simply in fried form, I couldn't help but appreciate the Tawilis with Mangga on a Spoon.
Salad
 |
| ♥ Shrimp Tofu Salad (290 php) |
Meat and Poultry
 |
| Inihaw Sampler (890 php) |
Crispchon
 |
| ♥ One Whole (4,995 php) |
We Filipinos love Lechon, and more so for the Crispchon which is a counterpart of the conchinillo. We also appreciate showmanship and this is where Mesa excelled. Look at the extent of preparation they go through just to please their diners. It is served in three ways.
First, is in wraps just like the peking duck. The unique twist is that they use pandan crepes.
Second, tossed in garlic.
Third, tossed in garlic and chili. I liked this better than plain garlic because the spicy kick blended better with the fats and oil.
River Shrimp (Swahe)
 |
| ♥ On the Rocks (300 php) |
A must order at Mesa is the River Shrimps On the Rocks. Aside from the fun cooking experience, the fresh shrimps really tasted sweeter with this method.
Seasonal Products
 |
| Sauteed with Olive Oil and Garlic (180 php/100 grams) |
Aside from its many selections, Mesa also serves fresh seasonal seafood.
Apahap (Seabass)
 |
| ♥ Salt Crusted (110 php/100 grams) |
The Salt Crusted Apahap is another exquisite dish to try at Mesa. In fact, this is the only the second time I've had a salt crusted fish. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the appreciating the tedious baking process and the serving presentation of this dish.

After that, it is deboned so it's easy to eat like a fillet.
Rice
 |
| Tinapa Rice (180 php) |
Desserts
 |
| ♥ Crispy Leche Flan (75 php) |
Whenever at home and at the office, everyone would go crazy whenever there is a leche flan. But, I never was that big of a fan. Yet, when I tried the Crispy Leche Flan, I couldn't help myself to have more and more of it. We had to order another one of it because we all felt the same!
Beverages
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Mesa certainly offers a one of a kind Filipino dining experience. Its service and performance to impress diners is unlike any other. I am not surprised if it comes up with more branches in the future.
