I believe that Angels exist.  They are among us.  I’ve started collecting angels when I was in high school, when I received my first angel figurine as a gift.  Since then, people have started giving me gifts that had anything to do with angels for birthdays, pasalubongs or what-nots.  I have received angel painting, angel frames, angel magnets, angel necklace, angel pendants, angel earrings, angel lamps, angel mugs… The last time I counted my angel collection (3 years ago) it was around 60-70. 

Whenever I see an angel picture or ornament, I’d get really excited and look at it intensely, but since I didn’t want to break the tradition (of not having bought anything for my collection), I just bond with it for a moment and leave.  It’s pretty neat that all of the angels in my collection were gifts/souvenirs/passed on.

My first visit to Angel’s Kitchen made me reminisce the time I used to name my angels (yes, I told you I’m psychotic).  I even had a special display case for my favorite ones.  The restaurant is a small space to begin with about 10 tables only.  2 stitched angel frames greet you as you enter the door.  Angel Kitchen is a bright and welcoming restaurant.  White walls are decorated with rectangular wooden framed mirrors.  White spherical lamps dangles from a well-furnished semi-high ceiling.  Rich wooden tables and chairs total the whole look.

On the Table:

Pinakbet Paella with Liempo PHP

Bubba’s order.  Rice and Pinakbet vegetables cooked together with a binagoong flavor.  2 huge crispy pork liempo on top of the rice were tender and tasty.  I ate 3/4s of the dish and ¼ of it is already filling.

Lamb Curry PHP

Cushee’s order.  So predictable since I love lamb and curry and the idea of marrying the two is really a brilliant contribution of Persian cooking.  It was served with apple chutney, which was a good balancer for the spice of the curry.  The lamb curry was delicious but I prefer it spicier the next time.  I didn’t detect even 1 degree of heat from this curry. I had to ask for chili pepper flakes just to add pizzazz to the dish.

Pork Binagoongan PHP

Bubba’s order.  It was equally as flavorsome as the lamb curry.  We asked for more sauce though and the wait staff didn’t oblige since the sauce were portioned per order.  All the dishes could use a bit more sauce on the side.

Angel’s Kitchen is located along Connecticut, Greenhills.  Next door to Konbini Market.
