Chelsea Kitchen

Chicken was dry but flavorful.

Truffled cream pizza was soooo good! We loved it with their spiced honey and chili flakes. Super!

The roast beef was nice too. Gravy was not the usual gravy I’ve had with a roast beef. Only thing I noticed is like it’s just beef sukiyaki smothered with gravy.

Fish & chips. Good fish batter and well seasoned. Fries, hmmm okay.

It’s a good place to dine in with friends. Overall, the food was good but could be better.

Chelsea lovers, rejoice ! They came up with a brand new menu that I know you’ll love it. “Feel Good Food” you’ll want to eat everyday , all day always .

Last December 13, 2018 hubby and I went to SM Mega Fashion Hall and we had a quick lunch at Chelsea Kitchen .

That time they offer this CK Bundles. We tried the OPTION A. It’s good for two persons . For 600 pesos only and save 315 pesos ! It has 1 Mozarella , Tomatoes and Basil Pizza, 1 Spicy Arabiatta Rigatoni , Angus Beef and Iced Tea Carafe.

It’s not your usual pizza and pasta . Chelsea Kitchen is an innovative concept by Raintree Restaurants.

So if your looking for Comfort Food , Chelsea Kitchen should be on your list . Nice ambience and service was fast and glad they have bundles so it’s already affordable

On a client meeting, I urged my companions to dine at Chelsea Kitchen because I always read good reviews about this place. We ordered the following:

▫️Chili Lime Chicken & Chorizo Nachos
Nachos were crispy and the toppings were flavorful! I think I can consumed the entire bowl. 🤩

▫️Fried Chicken Parmigiana
One of their best sellers that's why I ordered this! The serving was big though the cut of the meat was thin. Sauce was great with the combination of the chicken! Sad part? No rice included so I ordered a separate one.

Overall, sulit pa rin though the server was a bit annoyed with us because we transferred from 3 areas. The location is noisy because it is near the entrance of the mall that's why.

The food is okay but the service is horrible. The place had only 2-3 occupied tables when I dined there. Yet the service was rather slow. Nobody was watching the tables and all the waiters were occupied with their stuff.

They also forgot to serve rice, and when I reminded, it still took them some time to process the order (I guess they started boiling after my reminder). While we were eating, a waiter disturbed us to fill out Zomato Gold details. I find it disrespectful because I was in the process of finishing food. There’s no rush with that, I can fill out when I’m about to pay.

4-hour Cola Ribs.
The name was intriguing but the actual sauce wasn’t to my liking. It’s not the sweetness but the actual taste. Not sure how to describe it so I guess it’s purely subjective. The meat itself was okay, too. I’m not a big fan of fatty chunks but the ribs had some.

Scramble.
I’ve only had scrambles from Kanto Freestyle so I don’t have a representative experience with them. That said, the Kanto one is much better. This one had a lot of ice, so every time you scoop, you chew marshmallows and ice at the same time. The Kanto one has no to minimum ice.

To fellow Zomato Gold users: I would safely skip this place since there are much better deals for the same price.

Whenever I am in Mega Fashion Hall, I always pass by Chelsea Kitchen, a restaurant situated near the main entrance of the mall. It wasn't until recently that my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked Josh if we can eat here. As always, he agreed.

We came not knowing what to order, so we browsed the menu and chose the items that seemed interesting:

✅ MUSHROOM "CHICHARON" (Php195) -
Since I tried the Kinoko Frites at Le Petit Souffle last year, I've been on the lookout forthe best mushroom chicharon, but I haven't found someyhing that will top it. This one is good, but I found the mushrooms to be too crumbly. The basil peso aioli dip was good, and we liked it better than the spiced vinegar dip, which we found to be too overpowering. The best prt of the chicharon was the stem -- a bit chewy but still crispon the outside. ️

✅ GRILLED BABY CALAMARI (Php 350) -
What a flavorful dish this is! 🤤 This one is a healthier alternative to your usual pork barbecue -- with a flavorful garlic parsley butter sizzle that is sure to make the flavors burst in your mouth with each bite. The tender calamari is sooo good! Yum!

✅ JONES' TAPA AND FRIED EGG (Php 320) -
Among the dishes we got, this one was my favorite (even if Josh was the one who ordered this)! The egg wasn't as runny as we wanted it... But the beef tapa was soooo good! Unlike the usual tapa, this dish made use of thinly cut beef strips, similar to the ones you'd find in gyudon / sukiyaki. Since the beef strips were really thin, the sauce was able to fully coat and penetrate each strip, making it super flavorful. I loved how they were able toproperly bapance the garlicky taste and the sweetness of the sauce, making it one of the most unique beef tapas I've ever tried. Recommended! ️️️

We had these with a cup of Herb Rice Pilaf (Php 80) for Josh, which we both deemed to oily and buttery for our liking. It was too rich, and may be a bit heavy on the stomach. On the other hand, I had Brown Rice cooked in Vegetable Stock (Php 95). I found it to be okay, but there was nothing different vs the usual brown rice I get at our office canteen, which is just Php 15 per cup. 🤔 It paired nicely with the Beef Tapa though, as it enhanced the flavor of the dish even more.

The restaurant seemed undermanned even on a Sunday lunch time, and it was a bit difficult to call the attention of their staff. However, they were really courteous, so I still enjoyed our lunch there. The ambiance, on the other hand, was just okay. I feel a bit awkward eating at an open space, when passers-by can actually see what you're having for lunch.

Overall, it's a pretty chill restaurant to eat at, very casual and can be a nice place to catch up with a couple of friends! Contrary to what I thought, it wasn't actually that noisy there, despite being an open air restaurant.

#EatDrinkSplurge

Date for Two: Truffled Mushroom Cream and Bacon Spaghetti with bottomless Iced Tea (BOGO via Booky)
Total: P440

Overall: This one’s good steal from Chelsea Kitchen and Booky! The truffle pasta is goooooood! Menu says it’s for sharing but for a hungry truffle lover, it’s a solo plate. Haha! Their iced tea is good too, love the lemon flavor For the ambiance, thought the place is not good since it’s located at the front area of the Mega Fashion Hall (too many people coming in and out of the entrance) but it’s still okay since Chelsea Kitchen isn’t crowded at all so you get to choose a better table, away from the crowd. Will visit this resto again

Value for money: Worth it!

#DateForTwo at Chelsea Kitchen

Beat the summer heat together with your family and love ones in Chelsea’s Kitchen. Their Pinoy Summer Special and All Day Merienda Treats features our ever-pinoy favorites. Their outrageous take on Mais con Yelo, Halo-halo, Saba con Yel, Ube pancake, Dinuguan and puto, Arozcaldo and a lot more will surely bring the cool into your summer.

Located at GF Mega Fashion Hall SM MegaMall, don’t let yourself miss this summer treat.

The taste and presentation we’re just perfectly Filipino taste. So overall i loved all the food that was served and my favorite would be the Halo-halo and Ube Pancake. The combination of these two is heaven and would recommend this to my friends.

Get up, pack your bags, bring in the heat, and see you at Chelsea’s Kitchen.

We have availed of booky's bogo promo with chelsea kitchen of truffled mushroom pasta with bacon that comes with iced tea for 440 pesos. Was shocked when our orders came as each plate was so huge. We had a hard time finishing our pasta. Their creamy truffled mushroom pasta was soooo goood! I love that it has the right amount of creaminess, not overpowering. You can taste the truffle oil really well. This was a good deal for 440 pesos we got two huge orders already and it was so good. What a good discovery today.

Chelsea Kitchen has a prime spot in SM Megamall, hard to miss since they are located by the entrance of SM Fashion Hall between H&M and Zara. They have a more intimate spot by the corner if you wish a bit more privacy.

Chelsea Kitchen is offering Filipino loved Merienda fare this summer as an afternoon treat to all weary and tired shoppers at very friendly price points. Seeing the serving sizes it is good for one hungry Diner or two Light eaters.

Here's what you can expect all summer long for your Merienda afternoon at Chelsea Kitchen:

Arroz Caldo - thick rice Porridge with Chicken. Flavorful Chicken meat, with Comforting on a rainy day but who said i can't have one during the summer Season? Squeeze some calamansi for that added sour goodness.

Tokwa't Baboy - what's Arroz Caldo without Tokwa't Baboy? This is a must pairing. Soft tofu, Fried and served with sliced pork. Mix in that soy vinegar sauce goodness into the tokwa.

Bulalo Ramen - Beef shank, cabbage, corn Soup served with Noodles.

Dinuguan with Puto - Blood Pork stew loved by everyone. The hot Freshly Made Puto is a match Made in heaven.

Mami Molo - a cross between "Mami Noodles" and "Molo Soup" Garlic filled, generous toppings that can Rival those served in Batangas.

For dessert we had the halo halo and mais con Hielo. Ube Pancakes - must try. And the Classic doughnuts Holes with Chocolate sauce. Try these limited time offering when in the area.

You can never missed CHELSEA KITCHEN in Megamall whether your inside or outside or even in EDSA driving or at the top commuting inside the MRT.

***ALL DAY Merienda***

Dinuguan at Puto Php165- Pork blood stew ,with bits of meat and some cuts of innards .Well cooked without that gamey taste.The puto paired with it is good.My favorite among the dishes served.

Tokwa and Baboy Php149-Fried beancurd and pork ears with chopped onions and green chilis served dressed vinegar.

Ramen bulalo Php395- Bone marrow,beef ,cabbage potion,Baguio beans,corn kernels in that luscious beef stock ,the usual classic pinoy bulalo tweak a bit by adding Ramen noodles, I like it more if they stick to the traditional one but it's still good.

Mami molo Php155-this is the Filipino style Mami,not even close to the Tsinoy versions.Miki noodles with bits of meat in pork broth topped with shredded cabbage ,dried shallots and scallions.

Arroz Caldo Php185-your typical Filipino rice porridge ,simmered in chicken stock with ginger and colored with safflower .Chelsea's version is topped with chicken meat ,fried toasted onions and spring onions.

Ube Pancake Php250- pancake raised into a higher level ,by infusing ube flavor unto the batter.Nice creativeness but topping it with macapuno ,whipped cream and sago.Would be a marvelous one if they will add more ube flavor on that ube colored milk that serves as a substitute to the pancake syrup.

***Pinoy Summer Specials***

Saba Con Yelo Php120-Saba banana with shaved iced in brown sugar syrup served with milk.

Mais Con Yelo Php120-sweet corn kernels in cream with shaved ice in cream,topped with crispy rice pops.

Halo Halo Php235-summer favorite of ube,sago,leche flan,macapuno,saba ,gulaman and crispy rice pops topped with vanilla ice cream.

Thanks to Chelsea Kitchen for the invite and also to Team Kaladkarin and EJ B #ilovetoeatph.🇵🇭

Yes Chelsea Kitchen in SM Megamall also serves merienda and its the Pinoy kind. Yay!

Thanks to the invite of @teamkaladkarin via @johnbunag, I was privileged to try the Pinoy Merienda Menu of Chelsea Kitchen last Thursday.

Together with other foodies, we enjoyed the following dishes.

Arroz Caldo P185 and Tokwat Baboy P149
A classic favorite, CK's arroz caldo is yellow-orange-hued from the annato oil per the server. It tasted so darn delicious, I can probably eat a bowl of this all by myself together with the tokwat baboy. Portions were generous and can feed 2-3 people. Reminds me of the lugaw my lola used to cook for us.

Dinuguan and Puto P165
Black, rich and delicious, this dinuguan ( literally means bloodied) is made from pig's blood with vinegar , pig's parts and innards, then garnished with green chili. It is best paired with white puto
( rice cakes). Chelsea Kitchen's puto is made from the premises per Ms. Michele (Marketing). It tasted delicious I wanted to order a box of it.

Halo-Halo P235
One can not get any more classic than Chelsea Kitchen's Halo Halo. It had the sweet banana, leche flan, ube , ice cream etc minus the tall glass. It had the requisite red mongo beans, nata de coco, etc.

Saba Con Yelo P120
Think Halo Halo minus all the other ingredients except saba ( sweetened banana), shaved ice , milk and sugar......delicious!

Mais con Yelo P120
Again think HH sans all the ingredients then add Mais or corn, milk and sugar....yum!

MAMI MOLO P155
Do not let that clear broth fool you. It fills your palate with umami flavor with just one mouthful. This was another merienda dish which evoked memories of growing up in La Huerta Paranaque

RAMEN BULALO P395
A fascinating combination, I have a mind to replicate it at home. It was rich, delicious and hits the spot

DONUT HOLES P195
Deep fried donut holes dusted with powder sugar and filled with dulce de leche .This sinful treat is paired with nutella dip to dunk your donut holes in....divine!

UBE PANCAKE P250
An instant favorite, this ube pancake looked sublime and tasted heavenly.
If you love ube you will like this a lot

SUMMARY :
I loved how delicious all the items in their merienda menu were. I remember asking Ms. Michele (Marketing), if they were available only during merienda and was relieved to know all the items were available the whole day.

My favorites were the dinuguan and puto, arroz caldo, tokwat baboy and ube pancake. Loved that all merienda dishes were below P200 except the bulalo.

Im glad the family has a new alternative to our other favorite Via Mare. We have a new place to bring the balikbayan relatives in that is equally delicious and less pricey. Yay my pocket is rejoicing along with my palate hahaha

Definitely coming back with the piggery in tow.

We went here for a Feel Good Tuesday . Usually use Eatigo up when eating in such restaurants.

🔸U.S. Roast Beef and Gravy P495.00
9/10
If not just for the price I will rate this a 10. Haha. It is so good. Thanks to Eatigo , got at 50% off.

🔸Fried Chicken Burger P350.00
8.5/10
Love the crispy chicken strips as the patty . The fries , mmm.. mm.. mm..

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*The score is based on my Taste Preference
1 - Yuck
5 - Mmm.. Mmm..
10 - Yummy

Ping Ping Ping!

I was so delighted about this dessert or even merienda so I decided to make a separate review of it for Chelsea Kitchen Megamall.

Had this Donut Holes,filled with the decadent dulce de leche coupled with hot chocolate dip.

The donuts' texture are similar to a mochi donut every bite has a snap ,and chewy character until those creamy dulce de leche burst into your mouth.The inclusion of the chocolate dip is just a tip of the iceberg .And for Php 195 you have a filling snack ,great with coffee too.

THANKS CHELSEA KITCHEN MEGAMALL,RAINTREE RESTAURANT'S and Team Kaladkarin for the invite.🙂

The food is magnifique, we ordered the triple decker club melt. Truffled mushroom cream and bacon spaghetti is a food lover's delight.
Lastly the chorizo and garlic pizza is delicious not too salty.

The price is around 1k, quite a bargain for the sumptuous meal.

Would I recommend it, definitely.

We went here to avail of Booky's BOGO: Truffle and Mushroom Pasta with Unlimited Iced Tea at P440. (5/5 )

Super sulit at it came with 2 platters of the pasta and 4 HUGE glasses of Iced Tea. Infairness, hindi na namin nakuha magpa-refill. Non-promo value is at P1,200! P320 for the pasta and P145 for one iced tea!

My friend also had their Cafe Americano and she said it was good too!

We will most likely to come back to try their other menu, medio pricey lang yung ibang food selections but I'm guessing na big servings din :)

A me time at megamall, love the open ambience where you can freely observe people

Jones Taoa and Fried Egg @320PhP
Such a simple dish, but this is their best seller. Really love how tender their tapa is. It also got a sunny side up and lots of garlic cloves. Of course, their vinegar is also good! It’s not smelly. Good for two.

Chorizo Garlic Rice @95PhP
The previous order does not have rice. So i got this. I think i made a wrong pairing because this one is already salty and garlicky. Dont get me wrong, this is delicious, just the incorrect pairing. Good for 1 if famished.

Illy Cappuccino @150PhP
Normal coffee. Hehe love the free choconut. But i prefer Hany. #teamhany

Ube Ancake @250PhP
Love this ube flavored pancake. It got small tapiocas, desiccated coconut, and this sweet ube syrup that serves as alternative for the normal maple syrup. I suggest that the marketing separate the ube syrup because it’s easily absorbed by the pancake. I did however ask for another shot of sweet ube syrup and they were amenable. The pancakes were fluffy and moist because of the syrup. The waiter said it’s good for one, but trust me, this is even good for four!

Tinapa Cream, cherry tomatoes, and arugula pizza @320PhP
Tried this for to go, 12”, don’t order this if you’re sensitive to strage odors. Especially if you will be taking this one to the MRT. It kinda smells like 🏽‍♀️ but for me tolerable. Eat this within the say. The bread gets hard even after reheating.

12” Pizza was worth it! Price and taste were awesome!
Roast Beef Beef (served with 2 breads) tasted great but the quantity was too few a lot of fats pa huhu

Three cheese pizza 320
Roast Beef Belly 495

Service was really sloooow; waited for about 30mins.
They didn’t serve water immediately.

3 cheese pizza was good, it waant brick oven type but fairly good.

Truffle cream pasta was good but theres a hair on it and took a while tobe prepared.

Ordered lumpia and tomato soup cappucino. It was delightfully subtle flavor. No overpowering taste so greatly seasoned.
