Piquant

I was so happy to get together with my college classmate from Ateneo, Rem Zamora. Of course, I insisted that we meet up in his restaurant, Piquant, at RCBC Plaza since I have not eaten there since it opened 2 years ago. I was surprised as to how extensive the menu has gotten from that time. Rem’s family was the one who started Pancake House around 30 years ago which explains his knack in food ventures. I admire Rem for being able to put up such a great concept – HEALTHY eating, yet delicious!

I ordered the Turkey Ham & Egg Sandwich while he ordered the Chile-Ancho Pasta.

My sandwich was very good but the truth is, I wanted to eat his pasta! It is a bit spicy but really really good. I never met a pasta like that before and I would go back all the way there just to have it. It is an anchovy-garlic pasta with chopped tomatoes, chiles, basil and white wine. For dessert we had Orange Sunburst and Mocha Royale. I had to ask Rem twice if it really was healthy because it was really good. Both were FAT FREE and SUGAR FREE made by Eli Beltran’s, Sugarnot.
