A MUST-TRY FARM-TO-TABLE RESTAURANT IN SAN PABLO CITY | FOREST CITY RESTAURANT
It’s June already! Can you believe we're halfway through the year? There are a few public holidays coming up this month so if you're travelling here down south, don't forget to drop by at Forest City Restaurant for a unique dining experience.
Located at Paseo Escudero Street here in the city, Forest City Restaurant brings a farm-to-table dining like no other. Fresh out of the owners organic farm (Forest Wood Garden), the restaurant serve flavorful surprising menus. From mushroom to meat based dishes and interesting deserts, you will surely get your money's worth!
The restaurant also sells a variety of food products made locally. These will be perfect "pasalubong" to your loved ones.
As for the restaurant itself, the place is not too big but it's not too small either. The place felt a lot like home though; it is cozy. You'll also get thrown down memory lane, playing childhood games like "sungka" while waiting for your food to be served. Waiting is also no issue since the owners are very friendly and you'll not notice the time passing by.
Because we wanted to fully experience our dining sense, we mostly ordered their best-sellers. We ordered their Mushroom Sisig, Pansit Kalabuko and Plantsado, Balol (native pork) and Centella Juice.
The mushroom sisig tastes a lot like your ordinary sisig which I find amazing because it is made of mushrooms. You can't tell the difference, really! The best part is, mushroom dishes mostly help from immunity to stress relief.
Pansit kalabuko is their most interesting dish up to par. It is made up of all natural and organic squash, mushroom, coconut meat, papaya and native pork. Not only does it look beautiful, it is damn good! It is so flavorful, and is guilt-free — you don't have to worry on enjoying seconds.
Balol was my favorite dish. It is a sun scorched and herb-smoked wild boar meat that tastes a lot like your ordinary pork barbecue. The baboy ramo used on is also organic so it is guaranteed that no chemicals were ever used all throughout.
A meal won't be complete without drinking any liquid. Forest City Restaurant serve different healthy drinks from turmeric tea to Centella juice. I ordered the latter. Centella has so many benefits from memory increase to blood sugar lowering, again guilt-free! I also love how it tasted, all-natural and sweet.
And the last thing we ordered is their "plantsado". Plantsado is a "kakanin" made up of toge root crop, which is a relative of cassava. This native delicacy is cooked using a hot old flat iron, just like in the older days. It is sweet and has a depth in flavor.
Overall, we had an unforgettable and unique dining experience at Forest City Restaurant! For more questions and inquiries, you can visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/forestcity.ph/
