TERRIFIC LUNCH AT SAMBA in SHANGRILA FORT BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY

When one talks about Peruvian dishes one restaurant comes into mind. SAMBA. The Shangri-La Fort has this pool side restaurant as the one to visit when thinking about ceviche and other delicious seafood dishes
Samba has been there for quite some time. It caters mainly to the dining crowd as it has an outdoor seating area with a nice view. For diners that is allergic to the heat, they could head on over to their indoor area and relax.
Most if not all of their dishes are from the sea but they are definitely fresh and spot on. One could start out their soft shell crab dish. Deep fried, this thing of beauty could make your mouth watery after a bite. Everything is crispy and you could eat it. Unlike traditional crabs, everything here will definitely end up in your tummy.
When visiting SAMBA, you should know that their best sellers would be the CEVICHES. Here, we have three of their best version. Each giving distinct flavors. Take note though, one is a bit spicy and hot. The other is a mix of seafood and the other is made with grouper.
For something a bit healthy, you could go for some quinoa. This one is topped with shrimps and some cheese to give it a creamier texture.
When one visits SAMBA at Shangri-La FORT, one should always go for the anticucho de pulpo. Basically grilled octopus, the meat isn't rubbery nor mushy. It had the perfect mouth feel.

Somewhat similar to Paella, the Arroz Con Mariscos is the Peruvian Seafood Rice. Different flavors create a heavy yet mouthful of a treat. A bit thick but smooth, this one is one for the books.
Visiting SAMBA for lunch is a nice way to relax after a hectic morning. From Monday to Fridays they offer a wide variety of time and pocket friendly dining options.

SAMBA AT SHANGRI-LA FORT BGC: TIKI TIME!!!

Well Hello there! This has got to be one heck of a time to be craving for some alcoholic drinks. Not just any liquor but premium made by no less than the TIKI MAESTRO.
Summer seems to be coming up as the vibe right now is either on the beach or on near a pool and sipping some drinks. At SHANGRI-LA FORT, BGC, their in house restaurant, SAMBA invited over a master when it comes to TIKI drinks. Meet DANIELE DALLA POLA. Known as the "Tiki Maestro", this lively drink creator knows no limits when it comes to alcohol concoctions.

Caught red handed, he was quick with his mixtures and was even playing around. Right from the start, he made some daiquiris just to let everyone settle down. Shots of Bacardi 8 years were also distributed left and right just so as to let the party start.
Food was of course by Shangri-la Fort's SAMBA. Peruvian cuisine is the name of the game when it comes to something refreshing and light.

A number of dishes were brought out. From pulpo or octopus to other seafood dishes.
A favorite dish of the crowd would have to be the soft shell crabs. Deep fried and perfect with the mango salsa, each dip makes everything okay. You find yourself going for more.
While everyone was busy with the food, the Maestro went about on demonstrating and showing how to make different cocktails with rhum.
Some of the classics were given twists while others were given a dash of creativity as well. Surprisingly, the flavors are quite similar but there was a sense of elevation when it came to the flavors and the spirits used.
Playing with fire, this stunt caught the attention of almost everyone in the area. It's a nice treat to be treated to some entertainment especially when its paired with a nice cold drink.

BROTZEIT in Shangri-la BGC: Prost!

For someone needing a quick break and a glass of German beer, BROTZEIT in BGC is the best place to go to. Located in the new Shangri-la Hotel block in between the Mind Museum and Bonifacio High Street Central, BROTZEIT opened their third branch just last weekend.

During a media event, the people behind Brotzeit rolled out the big guns and never looked back.

Right from the start, they had sausages and their famous pork knuckles right there for the taking.

The sausages had different texture and flavor that would make them pairing with beers heavenly.

The knuckles were pretty intense. Imagine crunchy skin and moist meat. Take note, these aren't fried. They are cooked in an oven. Bad ass right there.

Aside from the stars of the night, simple but delicious hors d'oeuvres were served too. Wrapped up ham and cheese were placed on top of freshly baked bread. Delicious.

The pub vibe will not be complete without beer. Here at BROTZEIT, GERMAN BEER is their bread and butter.

For someone that is not really into beer, I was delighted and pleased with their flavored ones. Different fruit flavors were used to make the beer more enticing to a none beer drinker like me.

In line with the celebration of the GERMAN BEER PURITY LAW, which limits beer ingredients to water, barley and hops,  they are serving a new seasonal menu to attract beer lovers.
Without a doubt the Pan Seared Sea Bass with weissbier is the choice dish of the night. If you must have just one dish to order, this must be it. The fish was well cooked. The meat was moist and the flavors were there. Even if the hollandaise sauce wasn't that evident, the fish was definitely the focus of the dish.

For pork lovers, the slow roasted pork in dark beer sauce would be your choice. Accompanied by a bacon-cabbage salad, the slow roast gave of a dark malty flavor since it was marinated with beer. The napkin dumpling should not be confused with the Chinese version. This one is traditionally made with stale bread and taste a little bland but it would go well with the pork.
Honestly, I enjoyed the VEAL. The Veal Ragout was served with napkin dumplings and red cabbage. Not overly gamey, the veal was tender and I enjoyed it.

Granted that I'm not a liver eater person, the Roasted Liver in dunkel weissbier was pretty good. The soup sauce was reminisce of beefsteak or bistek. This would go well with garlic or white rice.
To end the meal, BEER BATTERED APPLE SLICES were served. This had a side of vanila ice cream and were covered with cinnamon sugar. I enjoyed the texture of the coating and also the bite that came from the apples. The berries were a nice touch too.
