Greek Yogurt & Cardamom Iced Tea!

Kos Greek Ouzeri 
UP Town Center, Katipunan, QC




Greek Yogurt (P140)
with honey and sprinkled with nuts
with fruit preserve 


Head Chef Yoli has this to say: "Bubs, you'll surely love it!"  And yes, I love it. The Greek Yogurt is tangy and at the same time, sweet from the fruit preserve topped by the nuts which give it, not only the slightly salty taste but the crunchy texture as well.   





When you order this special house-blend iced tea with Greek Cardamom and Lemon, don't get the single serve. Make it bottomless.

Kos Greek Ouzeri!

Kos Greek Ouzeri is a new restaurant that has been enjoying good business in the UP Town Center (the area used to be the playground of UP Integrated School. I used to watch kids my age as we pass along going home from the blue school. Well, that was so many moons back). 




Simply stated, Kos Greek Ouzeri is a small restaurant with a promise. As Chef Yoli Naluz admits, they never scrimp on the ingredients which undergo meticulous quality inspection (you will never capture the delicate taste of Salmon if not fresh). My Grilled Salmon Fillet was perfectly grilled and seasoned right that nothing was left on my plate. Their version of Moussaka was on the "saucy" side but still unforgettable. Before I forget, they serve free warm bread for which we ordered the Artichoke Spinach spread. And yes, we finished everything.  

'Til our next visit, Chef Yoli!

Greek Taverna Cafe!

Greek Taverna Cafe
Better Living, Paranaque City


Tita Nelia bought me to the opening of Greek Taverna in Paranaque City She personally knows the owners and had done business with them in the past. The husband is a 100% Greek who has been operating a Greek restaurant who decided to transfer to this new place. 

It was the resto-bar's soft opening and the food was free (we just paid for the drinks and dessert). We had slices of Octopus, Spanakorizo, Moussaka and Pastitisio with salad.

So, how was the food? Well, they opened that night and any business undergoes all kinds of problems on the first week. It was good that the food was free. Hope that were to fix whatever problem they're having.
