The Wholesome Table Fort Central menu Archives - Between Bites

I’ve always been curious about Runner’s Kitchen but was kinda intimated to check it out. Vishal was the very first person who got me to eat here and ended up introducing me to the restaurant. It’s my fourth time last week to have lunch here and looks like it’s going to be more regular as I try to eat healthier. Operative word, try. It means attempt, strive, aim, endeavor, and take a stab at. Surprisingly, everything on the menu is delicious.

On the Table

Adobo Whole Wheat Nachos Php 320

Lean organic pork, pineapple mango salsa, cheddar cheese, fresh corn, and housemade mayo on top of whole wheat nachos

This could be the weakest appetizer on the menu as it tends to taste dry and at certain points, flavorless, but for most parts, it’s still quite good.

Spicy Tuna Quinoa Roll Php 295

Raw tuna, cucumber, mango, sriracha roll, coconut cream, and ginger soy reduction

Spicy Chicken Black Roll Php 250

Same as above roll but this time, with spicy chicken pieces and black rice

Peppercorn and Sesame Crusted Tuna Php 395

Lightly seared tuna with soy onion dressing and zucchini carpaccio

The Wholesome Table

August 5, 2014 by Janey

“Don’t panic, it’s organic.” Some people need to be given the right motivation to start eating right and living right. As we grow older, we get more armed with the knowledge of what’s good for us and what’s bad for us and we’ve become less willing to compromise. I’m still talking about food. The Wholesome Table at BGC Central uses produce that comes from organic sources and it gives us the confidence that we are not harming our bodies even if we eat a little bit more.

Consecutive weekends including Saturdays saw me spending time with family. Last Saturday night, it was date time with brother bro bro, my Twinee, Twin. Since both of us are trying to take care of our bodies better (the most I do is say, “take care body!”), we were very excited to try a new organic restaurant that serves comfort food. Owned by the Elizaldes, The Wholesome Table stands at the location of former Aria Cucina Italia, famed for its Boracay branch.

Aria’s Afternoon Delight

We were targeting an early dinner but all that’s available to order at 6pm are the salads and pizzas. Low-carb diet makes me want to stray from the pizza but since there are no other choice until 630pm, we decided to start with these. Dining interiors of The Wholesome Table are very impressive.

“We use meat from grass fed cows that are raised without artificial hormones and antibiotics. Our poultry and eggs are all free-range. We source local products whenever possible. We serve wild-caught seafood. Except for our cheese, which comes from local and organic sources, we do not use any other processed ingredients. You won’t find high fructose corn syrup in any of our food and drinks. All our sauces and condiments are natural and made from scratch. We use healthier alternatives wherever we can. We promise you that this list will grow as long as better food choices are made available. So go ahead and find comfort knowing that you are about to eat something truly nutritious and delicious, on your wholesome table.” – The Wholesome Table

On the Table

Bread and Butter

Beautiful bread to start with. I only wish they served it warm.

Chicken Dukkah Salad P420

Hearty salad made with dukkah-coated grilled chicken, roasted squash, tomatoes, sliced red onions, cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese, sunflower seeds, drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette

The Wholesome Table’s chicken dukkah salad was a delicious salad to get your appetite going and it tasted fresh as fresh can get. The grilled chicken was a great protein and added punches of flavor into the green ensemble.
