Conti's | October 6, 2015 Still a part of the Manila food experience, it is my first time to eat at Conti's and it probably will be the last if it's not free. Shoot me. I probably ordered the wrong stuff but I was unimpressed despite the good reviews I've seen and heard about it. What really turns me off about a restaurant is when the taste does not match the price. Another one, is when the food is not warm enough when served. We weren't lucky that day. The branch in Serendra was understaffed when we went there. It took them 15 minutes to give us water and when we got our food 30 minutes later, they forgot to give us our utensils. Okay. We were sitting outside so Elle had to go inside and look for spoons and forks. That did not throw me off my excitement to eat our orders (because I was starving) but our orders did. Mirza ordered the Chicken ala Kiev (305) which is stuffed chicken breast, deep fried and topped with white sauce and the Gambas Y Champinon Al Ajillo (180) which is basically spicy gambas with mushroom and for me, it is the winner in that dinner. Very tasty but the price should come with rice at least because the portion was very small. Since it's an appetizer, they didn't have to. The chicken is alright. The sauce is meh. I have to say for 305 pesos? Never again. Elle and I had Paella Madrilena which is paella rice with prawns and chicken. I couldn't find the price online but it should be 200+ for a single serving and their Siomai dumpling which is if I remember correctly, 90 pesos more or less. Our meal was probably the biggest disappointment because the paella was like a cup of rice with toppings. It tasted bland and dry and I made better tasting paella and I don't even know how to make paella. Damn. And let's talk about the siomai. Master Siomai is tastier siomai than Conti's siomai. Let that sink in. Anyways, the only thing we did not order there was the most popular item in their menu which is the Mango Bravo (165 per slice). According to Mirza, people line up to buy that cake during the holiday season. It is a popular gift or potluck "bitbit" as well. So maybe, if I find myself in a Conti's next time, I'll get that one instead.
