Pre-Chinese New Year Dinner at Fireside by Kettle, SM Mega Fashion Hall, Mandaluyong City, Philippines

For our pre-Chinese New Year dinner, we chose to celebrate it at one of SM Megamall Fashion Hall's restaurant. Set in our sights was Fireside, Kettle's better half. 


Fireside's menu offers new twists to the dishes served at their first foodie venture. Calling ahead is a good idea since the place pretty much gets filled up by dinner time.

Truffled Potato Chips (Php 199)
To start us off, we ordered this appetizer from the menu.  Aside from the fact that this finger food is built for sharing, I've always believed with the saying that you can't go wrong with potato chips. Food-Stars Verdict? We practically inhaled this one. The potatoes were sliced thinly and fried 'til crispy. The bleu cheese sauce that drips down to coat all the chips was a welcome sight. Loved this one.


Buttermilk Fried Chicken Fingers (Php 489)
We're fans of their Buttermilk Fried Chicken so it's no surprise that we were having this for tonight. Food-Stars Verdict? This is way better than their contemporary.The Cajun Ritz breading brought just the right amount of heat to the tender & juicy chicken fingers. Adding the fried doughnuts was pure genius! ;p  Fireside, you just managed to make a great dish turn into an awesome one!!! 


50/50 Meatloaf (Php 389)
I think meatloaf has been getting some pretty bad rep. The crisscross grill marks shows that this is not your ordinary meatloaf & rightfully so. Fireside uses ground bacon & ground Angus beef; two beefy goodness that can make anyone's heart melt. Food-Stars Verdict? All I'm saying is two slabs isn't enough. The garlicky mashed potatoes works really well with the meatloaf. 


Truffled Potato Chips (Php 199)
 By 8:30pm, Kate arrived. A suggestion to order another one of this was met with immediate assent. It was round two of yummy truffled chips! ;)


Smoked Mac & Cheese (Php 209)
Just when I think Fireside couldn't do any better, this comes out. They've taken Mac & Cheese and smoked it. Nice use of the Wood Fire Grill. Food-Stars Verdict? Every spoonful is addicting! Instant fav ;)



And a glass of Red to wash it all down ;)

Fireside definitely exceeded our expectations. 
Tummy happy! ;)
