THERE is a new organic food restaurant, but it will be closed for a week or so, until after November 17. At least that was what I was told. I think I scared them.

But this organic food restaurant is really your dream organic food restaurant. First, you can eat whatever you like. Fish, beef, pork, pasta, salad, and loads of tea and juices. Second, it is not expensive.

Mabel A. first posted photos on her Facebook, which immediately grabbed my attention. It was a photo of a salad, and it looked like something I would do put everything in and have fun.

The place is Minkahs Kitchen along Ma-a Road, right beside S&R, and right across NCCC Mall. But wait, as I earlier said, dont make a beeline yet. Hold on to your appetite until after next week, because I think I scared them.

Anyway, from Mabels post, I learned about Minkahs. But Mabel later texted that Mikhal, the owner who happens to be the son of Maribojoc Mayor Jun Evasco, asked if we can postpone our visit because they are still doing major renovation. I said I wouldnt mind being amid a renovation, and so trotted in with a full mob: Trisha, Sir Leo, Leos son Lew, Peter, and the driver. That makes six. There would have been more had other friends not had prior commitments. We arrived to a place that looked like its in the middle of a renovation.

Yes. I scared them off.

But the preview of the food that we had is great.

We had crispy pata. Yes. Thats a must. The ultimate test of whether a restaurant is good. Hehe.

Lew and the driver ordered Grilled Pork Chop with Creamy Yoghurt Spinach Sauce, which was later changed to honey-mustard sauce because the kitchen has ran out of yogurt-spinach. Leo got the Thrice Cooked Pork Adobo, whie to assuage our guitl, we got the Fruits with Mixed Nuts in Hawaiian Balsamic Dressing and Bruschetta.

We topped that with Camote Tops-Calamansi Juice and Lemon Grass and Ginger Iced Tea.
