Hallowine at Planet Grapes Cebu
Divine intervention helped me out on how to spend Hallows Eve, honestly it was from a wonderful lady who wanted to thank me for helping her out. I never have anything planned out during these days as I work at a BPO company and rarely leave the house during holidays. This was of course an exception, Wine-all-you-can? Sure why not!?
I visited Planet Grapes last time for their Media Launch, this time I get to see how they work up close. The event aptly named Hallowine is an annual event from all branches. You can come in with your ghostly or monstrous attire and enjoy wine and the Chef's selection made for the event.
The place was filled with cobwebs and the staff were dressed with blood and a few gore. Still aiming the best customer experience, they do extend their wine knowledge by asking you what you want paired with your food which should be every restaurant that sells wine should be doing as well. If you have no idea what to pair with the food, they can recommend the best out of the 6 bottles they have for the night. I recommend sipping cold water in between to avoid getting intoxicated right away.
We were served Beef Medallion in Bloody Red Sauce.Tender, nutty beef goodness with bacon like a gift from the heavens. The Creamy Creamy Black Seafood Penne fixes all your seafood and pasta needs. Al dente pasta, with tender squid bits. This truly makes you want more. This sampler is only Php265!
The best one I have had so far. Made with real pork meat and mixed with a few offals, a sure hit!
And lastly, the carbonara. al dente linguine, pieces of tender meat and just the right amount of sauce. I love my pasta without the overpowering sauce. I like my carbonara just right unlike the usual white sauce carbonara that is nothing but sauce all over. Perfectly seasoned and wonderfully presented. It would not come to a surprise that I had the bowl all cleaned up.
Let's not forget the garlic bread, soft buttery goodness a perfect combination with the pasta. I love a good garlic bread makes a pasta dish truly complete.
