As soon as you enter Mesa, you'll notice the touch of Filipino inspired interior and design of the place which makes the place looks more tempting to dine in.There is a family who was already dining when I arrived with my friends. It's a kid-friendly restaurant which is really important for me
Staff are all polite and always ready to assist customers. Some of the dishes served with showmanship.
They also accept birthday party and other occasions. This is the private room, it can accommodate 10-20 people. Price starts from Php 5000-Php10000 consumable.
Tawilis with Mangga on a Spoon
We had Taliwis with Mango for our appetizer. This is also served with house blend Bagoong.You can order this for only Php 155.00.
Swahe on the Rocks
Is one of the unique dishes at Mesa. The shrimp or Shawe is cooked on top of a hot stone. The shrimp was cooked in just a few minutes. You can smell how fresh the shrimp is every time the staff open the lid, which makes it more appetizing. The firm texture of shrimp when you first bite it means it was cooked perfectly.
Bagoong Rice
I love fried rice with bagoong. What makes this unique and special is that they add green mangoes, tomatoes and some onions on it. The shrimp paste tastes good and perfectly blended in the rice.
Tinapa Rice
This dish makes me remember the old days where I usually request my grandma to buy Tinapa and salted egg in the market for my breakfast. The rice was stirfried and Tinapa flake (smoked fish flakes) topped with some freshly cut tomatoes and salted egg. I really love this fried rice.
Laing 2 Way
One of my favorite Filipino dishes is Laing, My lolo (grandfather) is a pure Bicolano so we always have Laing in our table. This is my first time to eat Laing that was cooked and served in 2 ways, I like the idea that they put adobo flakes on top of the Laing which makes it more appetizing and added a new flavor and texture to the Laing.
Salt Crusted Seabass ( APAHAP )
This method or cooking procedure when the fish was buried or covered 250 grams rock salt. It cooks the fish evenly. When the hard salt shell cracked open, the fragrance of the fresh seabass came out. I was really amazed when I tasted it, it's not even salty and taste
Crispchon Serve 2 Way
This dish is prepared by the server, the 1st way is that the Crispchon was thinly sliced and wrapped in homemade pandan crepe with some vegetables like cucumber and spring onions. Serve with their house blend sauces. The 2nd way is the remaining Crispchon is tossed in Chilli garlic.
The skin is crisp and the meat is tender. One of my favorite.
Price will range around Php 1000- Php 1500 good for two people. They also have ongoing promo, Bellichon Feast Good for one person Php 230- Php 350
