Adarna: More Than a Mystical Bird

I am not referring to the publishing house. 😀

Recently, I discovered a restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue in Diliman, Quezon City that serves delicious authentic Filipino dishes. Diners can take their pick of favorite dishes from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

    !deliciosos, tentando tan… may champorado ba dun?

    Salve: Di ko napansin kung meron champorado sa menu. 😀 Basta meron din dun lumpia na ang sarap. Makakain mo yun kahit maraming veggie.

  2. witchy ay nagsasabing:

    sarap ng mga food here pati ang place… haysss.

    Salve: Oo sarap ng food. Saka maganda talaga ang ambiance. Pag lumuwas ka ng Manila, pasyal ka dun. 🙂

  3. Euri ay nagsasabing:

    Hmm…!! Looks yummy!!

    Salve: Yup, they serve good food. 🙂
    Thanks for visiting.

    Chorizo, ham or hotdog! And you call that Pinoy pasta?

    Hek hek hek! Pareho kayo ng kaibigan mo dian sa ‘Kodak’. Pinoy pasta is with ketchup! hak hak hak!

    Oist, try yung ginatang pasta. Yan ang tunay na Pinoy. I tried it once with adobong Ilokano saluyot and it was perfect, parang spaghetti aux epinards!

    Salve: VF, anong klaseng pasta ang the best na lagyan ng gata? Try ko lutuin. 😀

  5. wei vines ay nagsasabing:

    Yung gamit nila ng adarna,
    surname ba yun? 😀

    Salve: Hi, wei vines!
    Nope, hindi surname yung Adarna. I think it’s a cultural (literature) reference.
    THank you for dropping by. 🙂

    *lol* Spammer. XD

    Hmmmm…sarap naman:) Buti na lang kaka-meryenda lang natin. I want to try the Piassok. How’s the price range kapatid? Baka naman lumilipad parang ang Adarna.

    Salve: Mura lang yung Piassok, mare. Less than 200 pesos. Pwedeng 2-3 people ang mag-share. Kung matipid ka sa ulam at malakas sa kanin, pwede kahit lima ang mag-share. 😀

  8. VF ay nagsasabing:

    Try the tagliatelle con spinaci but at your own risk mare!

    Seriously speaking tho, it should work. Most pasta sauce are (dairy) cream based. And why not coconut cream? It should even be more healthy and a good replacement of the famous olive oil. If you can add some herbs to overcome the usual gata-odor, hmmmm, çes’t bon!

    La, try mo mare at yun a lulutuin natin pagdatingko hehehe

    Salve: VF, keri ko yang tagliatelle con spinaci na yan. Gusto ko yang mga veggie-flavored pasta & noodles. Hanap ako ng ganyan at lulutuin ko pag may time sa weekend. I-email ko pa sayo share mo. 😀

  9. VF ay nagsasabing:

    Never mind mare. Try ninyo muna ni Sherma. If Mercury drug sales go up para sa sakit ng tiyan, huwag na lang hehehe!

    Bon appétit!

    Oops, sorry. I didn’t realize that my guestbook has a bug (caused by extreme stupidity). XD What did you say again?

    Hi Salve, Beth here of Adarna Food & Culture. Thanks so much for writing about your experience at Adarna. I think I remember your visit. We really want to make guests feel at home at the resto. (Nice rin if the resto can contribute to people feeling good about our rich culture and cuisine.) Just to note that we used Adarna because the bird is orig Pinoy & magical. Ulit, maraming salamat! Please approach me, or my partner, Chef Giney when you come again. 🙂

    Salve: Hi, Beth. We really had a good time dining in your restaurant. I’ll come back to try the other dishes and take more pictures! I’ll bring along some friends. 🙂

    Thanks also for coming here.

  13. kengkay ay nagsasabing:

    salveeee – bakit hindi ka nagpakita sa akin sa Pinas? na miss ko tuloy itong mga kasarapan na ito, hehehe

    Salve: Windang ang beauty ko nang mga panahong yun, ms. kengkay. Busy sa trabaho. Di ako makapaglakbay sa blogosphere! Kung di pa ko napasyal sa WPP, di ko maalala na na uwi ka nga palang Pinas. Kaso huli na, nakabalik na yat akyong Aleman nang mabasa ko yun. 😦

    Di bale, next time.

    the piassok costs P304

    Salve: I know, Hiro. BUt I think, it’s worth it.

  27. Bitin Talaga ay nagsasabing:

    Dios ko po. I will never go back to that resto.Kahit balikbayan ako and dollar earner, the food are pricey for the serving size. So disappointing that the serving size is very very small.( i’m used to American Serving) he he he. That’s it. I do not recommend this restaurant.

  28. Bagot ay nagsasabing:

    Ok sana ang place, pero LOSER ang service. NOT GOING BACK TO THIS PLACE.

    First time we went, may event yata at nagchikahan na kami, wala pang waiters so we left na lang.

    Dahil nagandahan naman kami sa place, bumalik kami recently. Umorder kami ng Piassok.

    AY NAKO, 40 YEARS BAGO DUMATING ANG ORDER. Ewan kung nakalimutan ba kami o ano. Nakapagkwentuhan na kami at lahat, puti na ang mata ko sa gutom, wala pa rin. Ilang follow up na, wala pa.

    Sa sobrang kagutuman, di ko na napansin kung masarap ba o ano, basta kain na lang.

    Nung kinuha ang bill, jusko po, ganun din katagal ibigay. Naka limang follow up na kami ata.

    Tapos nagkamali pa sila sa bill, hindi nainclude ang drinks. Akala ko naman nagmagandang loob na at hindi na ininclude, but no, nagkamali sila. At another 5 years ang tinagal namin doon.

    Hinid kasalanan ng waiters, mukha silang mababait at hardworking. Prublema ng management iyun kulang ang staff nila at di maaccommodate ang mga tao.

    NOT RECOMMENDED KUNG AYAW NYO MAGBAYAD PARA LANG UMINIT ANG ULO NYO.
