Dome Has Added New Food Entries This March!

Starting this month, Dome Café Philippines has added in new entries into their menu.  Eight (8) new entries for you to choose and enjoy and they are all available now this March at Dome Café located at the ground floor of the Shangri-la Mall in EDSA.

Known for their good coffee, Dome has come a long way from where it was then.  This franchise business that started in Perth, Australia originally settled its roots in Makati.  From two locations in Makati, they now have settled on the crossroads of two busy cities namely Mandaluyong and Pasig; and have steadily rebuilt its followers in their new home while maintaining the ambiance that they are known for.

Four (4) new sandwiches, a new pasta dish, a new salad to enjoy, a new rice meal to indulge at, a sausage plate to share with friends and a new brew to enjoy and love, all made out of love for good comfort food.  A new set of chillers was also launched to beat the summer heat; 5 new non-alcoholic drinks for you and your kids to enjoy.  All this you can enjoy at the seat of your choice in Dome.

Garden Salad

Their Garden Salad has an interesting play of balsamic vinaigrette to its components.  What was meant to be light became a dish with an attitude.  That play of balsamic made the components of this dish not only sing its normal notes but also do a medley in the process.  The Mixed Grilled Sausages comes with, technically speaking, 5 dips to choose from.  On your plate, you have their classic breakfast sausage, grilled Italian sausage, Hungarian cheese sausage and Nuemberger sausage, pair it off with their tartar sauce, garlic mayo, barbecue sauce, dill sauce and of course the classic catsup and mayo. Four (4) types of sausages, 5 types of dips that you could pair it with; what more can you ask for?

Sweet & Spicy Grilled Salmon

A perfect time it was to launch their new rice meal dish – the Sweet & Spicy Grilled Salmon, since Lent is here and fishes takes center stage in the dining hall.  Resting on some asparagus, this is one dish that you may like to try-out in your visit to the café.  The salmon has nice grill marks that are covered with a golden-like glaze that is their sweet and spicy mayo.  The fish is flaky and you can remove the skin easily should you wish so.  Their take on the Classic Primavera Pasta is a winner!  This is good as a vegetarian pasta for what you have here are broccoli, zucchini, asparagus and cherry tomato instead of the usual meat stuff.  The sauce is creamy that really goes well with the aforementioned components and does not overpower it.  May not become your favorite but you will surely enjoy it; I sure did.

Classic Primavera Pasta

Classic Burger

The Classic Burger is truly how a burger should be.  Perfectly seasoned, rightly thick burger patty with the right amount of tomatoes, onions, greens, bacon and of course, cheese.  This thick sandwich is a sure winner for those who are looking for a no-frill sandwich or in this case burger.  Their Hungarian Sausage Sandwich is one light sandwich, to think that we are talking here of a well seasoned Hungarian sausage.  Its slices of Hungarian sausage spread accordingly on ciabatta bread with a gruyere cheese and tomato salsa spread.  The cheese is melted to the right consistency that you will have a taste of it in every bite that you take.

Vegetarian Sandwich

Next on the new entry is their Vegetarian Sandwich.  This is an open faced sandwich wherein they made use of pizza bread.  Roasted to perfection is an array of vegetables that is drizzled with basil pesto and topped with feta cheese.  This sandwich is light but filling at the same time.  The Salmon & Egg Mayo Sandwich tops the list of all the new entries for me!  Its slices of thin salmon on ciabatta bread with a good layer underneath of a no frill egg spread.  It may not sound much but when you get a bite into it then you will understand why it tops the list.  Salmon is a very strong fish that needs a major treatment to keep that fishy power at bay.  That egg mayo gave that solution.  You still taste the salmon but the fishy taste is lessened to a degree that it is not overpowering the whole dish.  It is one deliciously filling sandwich that I have ever tasted!

Cappuccino & New York Cheesecake

Their brew of Cappuccino is perfect for their cakes!  To add taste and flair to this classic is a good dusting of chocolate powder on top of the froth cap when served.  For me, the best cake to pair with this classic is their New York Cheese Cake.  That light creamy cheesecake has the right sweetness level that is truly complimented when you take a sip of that right coffee mixture.  This is the perfect companion as to will the afternoon away or as you watch busy people go about their day.  Try this pairing and it is me-time in session.
