We had lunch at Cafe Mediterranean in Alabang Town Center. First, we ordered the Quattro Formaggi pizza or the Four Cheese pizza quite obviously. It's got mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan and fontina. Their pizza is thin crusted, much like a pita when bitten into but a little on the crispy side. A bit dry, but I guess that's their style. To give it more flavor, I put a little Baba Ghanoush dip on top.For my main course, I ordered the Beef Gyro Plate with Buttered Rice. You can actually choose between regular pita, whole wheat pita, buttered rice, moroccan rice pilaf or couscous (small grains made from semolina, a wheat product used in making pasta). The dish comes with three dips, Baba Ghanoush, also known as "moutabal"; an eggplant and tahini dip, Tzatziki, cucumber, yougurt and mint dip, and Tabbouleh, which is made up of tomatoes, flat-leaf parsley and cracked wheat. Thank heavens for the dips as they made up for the beef's dryness and a bit rubbery texture. The first time I've eaten in Cafe Mediterranean, I ordered the Gyros, their greek sandwiches, very much similar to Shawarma. Between the Gyros and the Gyro Plates, I loved the former better than the latter.
My dad ordered the Tunisian Fish Fillet, Lapu-lapu fillets with black olives and tomato sauce with herbs. I did get a little portion to taste, it was ok, nothing fancy and out of the ordinary.Next time I visit Cafe Mediterranean, I'm going back to ordering Gyros, those Shawarma-like pita sandwichers come in Grilled Tuna, Grilled Chicken, Grilled Beef and Grilled Lamb. I find them more satisfying and pleasing to the palate.
