I-saw you... And I got so kilig

It's the first day of the week, yet it feels like Friday. Thanks to Eid'l Fitr we have a free day tomorrow. Contrary to Ramadan (where our Muslim brothers observe fasting), us girls had some feasting. Back in Davao every Friday is cheat day, a good excuse to indulge over crabs, paella, to die for pizza, super delish pasta, tuna, laing, cakes, name it... Davao is a food haven. Since we rarely see each other these days because of our varying project assignments, we made a pact to meet every payday to dine out.

Today Wanderection (minus Sai and Hagie plus new recruit Honey) dined at Sarsa Kitchen + Bar located at Bonifacio Global City. It was not my first time so I already have some favorites in mind. My personal choices were Tortang talong, Crispy Dilis, Chicken Inasal and Isaw. The crispy Dilis is definitely a must try. If not for my Uric acid issues, I can definitely eat this thing everyday. The saltiness of the crispy anchovies blend perfectly with the sweet and sour pineapple glaze with a mild kick from the chili. This is indeed a superb appetizer.

Before going back to Sarsa Kitchen I always have Isaw in mind. It was the reason I went to this restaurant last December unfortunately it was not available, so I went back to finally try it. The minute we were seated and handed the menu, I have nothing in mind but Isaw. I saw pictures and read how people raved about it in Instagram. When the waiter approached us to take our order I immediately ask if they have Isaw, the moment he said yes I felt an overflowing joy and felt so kilig. Imagine hearing a unexpected good news? Just like that, now I cannot repeat my body movement I felt my shoulder shrug a bit, its like when your crush called your name and you can't believe he knows you. Kinilig ako, not because I saw the cute Chef-Owner but because Isaw and me will finally meet. I had to take the first skewer of the most delectable chicken intestine, dipped in Sarsa's vinegar it taste heavenly. Sarsa had me at appetizer. The rest of our orders were served and I totally got lost in food paradise. I can't name an entree that is not delicious. Everything I tried in Sarsa is simply superb. And the price, with us being super happy with what we ate, is super sulit. 

I have many reasons to go back at Sarsa, I have not tried everything in the menu yet. I will definitely go back for the Crispy Dilis and Isaw. It's nice to feel kilig every once in awhile, isn't it?
