Just within the the vicinity of the ABS-CBN compound is a food place named Wicked Kitchen. It's not that big a place, but people keep coming back to the place for their delicious dishes. In fact, they have already opened a branch at Katipunan Avenue to cater to more avid customers. Wicked Kitchen is a restaurant that serves delicious food during the day and more of an 'inuman' place during the night. But, the place is most famous for some of their rice meals and their desserts. They have a really diverse menu that would give you a hard time in choosing what to eat. The servings here are also quite large, so you definitely won't have a problem when you want to be really full afterwards. The menu at Wicked Kitchen offers a variety of dishes ranging from delicious Western food to scrumptious Pinoy meals with a Wicked Kitchen twist. As compared to other food places that serve the similar dishes, Wicked Kitchen is more on the affordable side. It offers yummy dishes that you'll surely like at not-so-expensive rates.
With regards to the place, Wicked Kitchen really knows how to make their food place more accessible. Moreover, they also know how to acquire a lot of frequent customers. The place just looks like the typical food place you would see elsewhere. Nothing too flashy or fascinating to watch out for. The interior almost seems a bit resemblant of Flaming Wings (which, by the way, is just a few block away if you're at the Katipunan branch). But, just like any other food place, it's the yummy food that you have to be prepared for. Wicked Kitchen guarantees that their dishes are sure to blow you away and would make you keep coming back for more.
The service was quite neighborly. The people there always served the food with a smile, and they really were looking out for the customers. They really made sure that all customer needs were well met. Overall, we'd say that service was above satisfactory.
Curious about what we tried at Wicked Kitchen? Well, here goes:
Orange Juice, 38 php
Glutton Guy and Glutton Girl: You would notice we didn't choose iced tea this time. Well, we wanted something different for a change. It's not a totally unique choice, but at least it's a change from the usual. This drink is quite refreshing, if you ask us. We actually don't know if what we ordered was fresh orange juice or not (I think it was, though hahaha - Glutton Guy), but it's really good. It's not too sweet as compared to iced tea, and it's perfect for the hot weather. If this one won't cool you down, we don't know what will. : )
Onion Rings, 98 php
Glutton Guy: Talk about delicious appetizer! This one really hit the spot for me. Once again I got us a plate-filled onion rings for starters. The rings were HUGE and were very crispy. The taste was excellent and the aioli dip was very delicious. The menu said it was beer-battered onion rings, but I really didn't feel woozy after hahahaha It was just a tad greasy, though. But aside from that, I really didn't have any problems with this appetizer. : )
Glutton Girl: I have tasted a lot of onion rings, and this is very different from the ones I tried. The batter was crunchy and the dip complemented the rings very well. What I really liked with Wicked Kitchen's onion rings was that it was the real thing. It's not the artificial onions and flavorings other food places use, and certainly not like the onion rings at fast food chains. Another thing I liked was that the onions were a bit caramelized and had a bit of that crunch I was expecting in onion rings. Overall, I'd say it was a delicious appetizer.
Curnchy Bagoong Rice, 152 php
Glutton Girl: I ordered this rice bowl because according to the menu it's one of their best-sellers. It basically is deep-fried liempo bits with spicy bagoong and some green mango strips. I like spicy food, and the spiciness of this dish did not disappoint me at all. Wicked Kitchen's liempo bits was true to its word. They really were crunchy and really were flavorful, thanks to the bagoong. The spiciness was just right, not to the point that I would demand a lot of water :). The green mango really gave the dish that sour taste which I liked as well. Eating this dish was like eating liempo popcorn with rice and green mango. It's really a must-try.
Crab Omelette, 148 php
Glutton Guy: I have tried this dish before and I really liked it, so I decided to try it one more time. The dish is actually served in a big plate, so you would think that the servings for this dish is quite big. Well, it is, at least for my standards. The egg omelette was just delicious. Together with the flaked crab meat, it absolutely is a winner. The vegetables were very delicious as well. The cabbage, the onions, and the tomatoes worked really well with the omelette. If there's one adjustment in this dish, it's the drizzled sauce, which, for me, was a bit salty. Nevertheless, it helped with regards to the flavor and the presentation. I would try this again and again and again at Wicked Kitchen. : )
Sloth, 168 php
Glutton Guy: I have also tried this dessert during my previous visit at Wicked Kitchen. This is one of the dishes that would blow you away here. This dessert was just lovely. If you'd ask me what is the perfect formula for a delicious and delectable dessert, it would be chocolate molten lava cake plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some chocolate syrup. The lava cake was very delicious and very chocolate-y. What's inside this cake is actually the best, which is a center of luscious and oozing chocolate. Combining the hot chocolate center with the crusty outside of the cake and the cold vanilla ice cream is just the best. Wicked Kitchen without Sloth is like an airport without airplanes. : )
Glutton Girl: For some reason Wicked Kitchen's desserts are all named after the 7 deadly sins. There's Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Lust, Wrath, and the one we tried - Sloth. We actually wanted to try the Gluttony (being a tribute to the name of our blog). But, after some discussion (and some persuasion from Glutton Guy) we finally ended up on ordering Sloth. I didn't regret on ordering this dessert. It's an absolute heaven. The molten lava cake was just decadent and the vanilla ice cream was very creamy. It was also beautifully presented with the chocolate syrup. This is one dessert you should really try out. I mean it.
When you want affordable meals and a fun dining experience topped with good service, then Wicked Kitchen is the place for you. It's perfect when you're with your friends, when you're with your loved ones, or when you just want to have some delicious comfort food. If you liked what we tried, then we guarantee that you won't regret ordering them. But, you shouldn't limit your choices to what we tasted. Wicked Kitchen has a wide array of delicious dishes on their menu that you should try out. Order, eat, and be amazed at Wicked Kitchen's scrumptious dishes. Then, you can finally say, "That was some wicked food!"
