earth kitchen

well, since someone is a huge healthy eating type of person, i recommended we tryearthkitchen after a night of drinking session and we were here just in time for the opening. the place itself looks so clean and so "healthy". we tried the pomelo salad is it was goooddd. even the mango yogurt drink is a hands up. then we tried the carbonara. that carbonara is the best carbonara i tasted from a restaurant. seriously creamy and yummy. try going earlier as well specially at weekends. i just hope they put more food choices in the menu. :)

in my own humble opinion,earthkitchen is the best among the restaurants who advertise themselves to be healthy and organic.

during our last visit here, we ordered their pomelo salad, pumpkin and kesong puti soft tacos, and beef kebab. everything was heavenly! perfectly prepared and cooked! we loved how refreshing the salad was, how light and filling the soft tacos were, and how soft and tender the beef of the kebab was.

yes, maybe they are a bit on the expensive side, as all organic restaurants usually are, but this one is surely worth it!

i like how their is ample parking space provided and how once you enter, you'll feel like you are inside a garden with a bit of asian touch.

surely a favorite of ours now! 👍👍

one of those days when you try to be healthy.earthkitchen is definitely the restaurant for you! i like the ambience, the natural light seeps through the restaurant. the food is not my cup of tea. parking is available.

their mushroom ravioli is to die fooooor! compared to other versions of ravioli i've tried,earthkitchen's take is packed with so much flavor. honestly, i was sad when i finished it because i didn't want the experience to end... definitely adding it to my list of comfort food dishes!

a visit atearthkitchen rarely disappoints. you know you're in for a filling, satisying meal sans the massive guilt (it burns a hole in the wallet, though). must-haves are their freshly made pastas (the crab and uni pasta is a delight for palates seeking clean yet distinct flavors).

i was going to cover an event for the people of marawi atearthkitchen, but i felt that i needed to try out the good stuff on their menu before it started.

while waiting for the food that i ordered, i made a quick tour of the room to check out the other products that they have to offer. true to their name, they focused on featuring artisinal and organic goods that were crafted in various parts of the country. these included handcrafted soaps, fruit purees and flavored chocolate bars.

also visible on their walls are colorful artwork that would easily catch your attention. i was then informed that these are creations of marginalized children, who try to earn via this craft. the proceeds of the sales are being handled by the crib foundation via their new beginnings program.

as soon as i finished, dishes was quick and already waiting for me at the table. ragu ala bolognese came first and their take on the famous pasta dish was just as good as how it looked. the ground beef blended well with light tomato sauce and herbs, on al dente pasta. served alongside this was wet mushroom soft tacos. its unique twist of hoisin sauce made the pickled mushrooms’ taste stand out.

freshly made shrimp spring rolls followed. the wonderful presentation, along with the generous serving of shrimps on every roll, makes it a nice choice for vegetable lovers. its sauce, however, could use some work as it was too sour.

for our main dish, me and a friend shared their rendition of beef kebab with organic ifugao rice pilaf. it’s hard not to fall in love with it as the tender meat is also rich in flavor. at php 420 it’s a bit steep though. an extra stick please?

after all that we had, we still turned to even more food, this time some cake with warm beverage. since one flavor could never be enough, i tried both of their homemade cakes, along with a cup of malunggay latte. both cakes were notable given the distinct taste of ube and tablea, respectively. the malunggay latte was fine, better though with low fat milk instead of full cream.

overall, i could say thatearthkitchen is one of the better places to dine in the katipunan area. if you’re into organic and artisinal products, and looking for a variety of cuisines in one roof, this could be the place for you.

we had an amazing time atearthkitchen. i was hesitant to visit this restaurant at first because i thought they only served greens. but hey i was wrong! we were happy that we gave it a try! everything that we got was good. loved the mushroom soup, kale salad, kebab, shrimp spring rolls and mushroom ravioli! i wonder if they still serve kale salad though? parang it's not in the menu anymore and they would always say they don't have supply whenever we would try and call to inquire?

still and always will be my favorite go-to place for beef kebabs! 😍❤️ perfectly tender meat over organic ifugao rice pillaf and grilled vegetables with tzatziki (yogurt dip!!!) and cheese sauce. it's so nice i could never resist a refill! aaaah! 😍❤️ ••••••••••••••••••••••••

finally found the time to try outearthkitchen and we we were not disappointed! for starters we had the fish mango rolls which was crunchy, delicious, and a bit tangy-sweet with its sauce. the risotto balls were okay, but i also liked the grilled salad. the mushroom ravioli is really good but wish it had more ravioli pieces for the price. for dessert, we tried out the tablea ice cream which they split for two and it was a nice, cool, creamy concoction to wrap up our dinner.

we were so happy with the bloomin’ bread that we were still talking about it while on our way toearthkitchen which happens to be… right across the bakery. gluttons? we prefer to be called food enthusiasts. ;)

n got word thatearthkitchen opens at 6 p.m. and luckily we checked the place out before exploring other areas as it was open! i wonder who blogged that the place is closed till 6 p.m.?

anyway, we were greeted by a charming façade and a unique door which swivels than swings. the interiors make you feel like you are inside a greenhouse (but air conditioned). i instantly fell in love with the look of the restaurant.

after checking the menu and checking blog posts about the place, we decided to go for the watermelon and rocket salad (php270) and beef kebab (php360). yes, we try to limit our orders to two per stop this time so that we get to cover more stops.

the watermelon and rocket salad was such a beauty. it was a colorful and photogenic dish. the taste did not fail us too as it was, as my former colleague describes yummy food, a “party in the mouth”. the different textures and flavors went well with each other. i just hoped that the red watermelon was fresher. there was a great balance of sweetness, saltiness and tanginess thanks to the organic arugula, homemade kesong puti, balsamic vinaigrette, pili nuts, and watermelon.

the beef kebab was something else too. i love that it was very tender and had a hint of curry taste. it had a strong taste so opting for the organic ifugao rice was a good call. i also enjoyed the grilled vegetables. zucchini~

we wanted to try something new and sawearthkitchen in zomato with 4.5 stars. we decided to give them a try to see why people gave them good reviews.

risotto balls was unavailable, so we ordered watermelon and rocket salad instead. it was something different, the combination of different flavors fit well with each other.

our main courses were the squid ink pasta, fish and roasted sesame soft tacos and beef kebab.

the beef kebab was their recommendation and it was great. the beef was tender and had the right amount of flavor. the pasta was something unique and different.

i am not a fan of fish or soft tacos, but after hearing how good it was, i gave it a try. their soft tacos is so good!

i would definitely come back to try their other dishes, and order more beef kebab 😋

there aren't a lot of restaurants in our local market offering organic and farm to table dishes. when you see one, it makes you think twice because menu prices aren't so affordable and most times healthy is equated to not so yummy. but those key players in this type of food revolution are wise and innovative. they know that healthy without flavors is nothing.earthkitchen is one of those that promotes locally sourced raw ingredients, giving importance to sustainable livelihood for local farmers and indigenous communities. they serve dishes made from scratch. they combine fresh and healthy with flavors and techniques.

welcome toearthkitchen where you'll be welcomed by warmly lit interiors, colorful artworks on the walls, and fresh produce on shelves from got heart :)

grilled vegetable salad (p270) - zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, carrots, pickled mushrooms, herbs and greens, kesong puti, balsamic vinaigrette. i'm not a fan of veggies. when i'm at home, i tend to avoid it at all costs, but when i'm out, i like to try as many dishes as i can - including salads. with this one, i didn't need any convincing. just looking at this dish made me want to eat lots of it. i don't know. i guess that's how aesthetics work. their grilled vegetable salad is packed with numerous vegetables that you'll find yourself tasting something new in every bite. i'm proud to say i tried them all! haha! :p the sourness from the balsamic vinaigrette is a good choice for this one.
