Dishes 6/13/2014 09:51:00 AM

What's more crazier things can Krazy Garlik do with their menu? Well they've done it with a modest garlic pizza up to an adventurer's dream of having a crocodile meat. Now armed with 14 new addtions to their menu that will truly make Krazy Garlik one heck of a crazy restaurant with a crazy move, the only question is that “can it get even more crazier?”

To start with the crazy menu, an appetizer which will just keep your mouth busy while waitng for your next dish. This good appetizer will really liven up your taste buds without bloating you up and Creamy Garlik Hummus is just exactly the right food for the job. It's a creamy combination of chickpeas and sesame paste served with a soft tortilla and freshly baked sourdough bread. Now that ought to liven up a sleeping palate.

For people who loves veggies, salad is a great starter for a meal and with Krazy Garlik salad isn't as boring as you think it is. With the Asian Chicken salad with the soft tortilla chips and grilled chicken, the Kickin' Krazy salad with romaine lettuce mixed with homemade wasabi topped with chicken fillet, and the Roasted Tomato Salad with mesclun greens, roasted tomatoes, dried figs, feta cheese and cashew nuts tossed in homemade garlic vinaigrette dressing topped with black olives and croutons, made it more pleasant and appetizing not only to the eyes but to the palate as well. Healthy and outright yummy.

The main course should be the main event of a food fight. For Krazy Garlik, they have already outdone things with their menu. The addition in Meat Lovers Delight section in the main course will definitely satisfy any meat craving one might have. Say you like a mothwatering plate of grilled riblets served with special barbeque sauce and garlic marble potatoes, the BBQ riblets is for you.

If you'r feeling a little daring, try the Garlik Oxtail and Chorizo Paella cooked to perfection in a medley or red bell peppers, black olives, and roasted garlic. Craving for a hearty and creamy chicken hot pot with chorizo, white onion and roasted bell pepper covered with golden puff pastry? The Hot Pot Pie with Puff Pastry will take away that craving. But then again it will make you crave for more.

Meanwhile, the new addition in the Finest From The Sea section is making a splash, pun intended. Take your seasonal fish, deep fried to crispy brown perfection and the sauteed with black bean sauce served with garlic mango salsa and you have your finest sea creature on a plate called Crispy Fried Fish, waiting for you to stop drooling and start eating.

The pasta, besides being al dente, good pasta should be just as tasty as it looks good. With the new serving of Seafood spaghetti with our favorite sea reatures in the form of shrimp and mussels tossed in roasted bell peppers, you don't even have to go under the sea to get the best of the sea. And if it's just a warm, creamy and hearty pasta meal you're looking for, the Creamy Chorizo and Sausage might just help you out more than you expect it to.

For us Pinoys rice is our staple food so a meal wouldn't be complete without it. But this time it isn't the usual rice, it is an invasion of the K-pop as Krazy Garlik starts serving the Seoul rice. It's imple Korean-style spicy fried rice with beef strips, bean sprouts, sesame seeds and Nori-basically everything you will look for in fried rice.

Lastly a meal wouldn't be full without the desserts and upping the crazy level of Krazy Garlik is their dessert called Krazy Mess. From the name itself you can already get an initial impression of beautiful chaos. A luscious combination of layered frozen raspberry, Nata de Coco, homemade meringue, whipped cream and strawberry ice cream, So if you're looking for something that will mellowly end your meal, go to the Affogato Trifle and get the bittersweet of coffee jelly, meringue, whipped cream and vanilla topped with a hot espresso shot.

Krazy Garlik encourages you not to trust anybody else's words and instead go and try for yourself. Go get the Kraaazy experience only from Krazy Garlik with their 14 new addtions to their menu that will give you the most pleasant surprise.
