Chelsea Kitchen

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.

From a far, Chelsea Kitchen is bright and colorful. It was really inviting to seat as they have very cozy and sweet surrounding.

Had a meeting and we had tinapa pizza and chicken salad which were both done extra ordinary and bursting with unique taste. To add the presentations were outstanding- especially how they presented coffee.

A relax place that you must visit!

Thanks to the raintree group for having us team kaladkarin try the this branch. This branch is really good for barkadas as they offer sets that are really worth the price.

Option A @600PhP
🏼 Good for two persons: one mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pizza, 1 spicy arabiatta rigatoni, 2 glasses of iced tea

Option B @1400PhP
🏼 Good for four persons: 1 super garlic cream pizza, 1 bolognese pasta, 1 chicken bites, 1 iced tea carafe

Option C @2400PhP
🏼 Good for six persons: 2 bacon Hawaiian pizza, 2 truffle mushroom and bacon pasta, 1 chicken bites, 2 iced tea carafes

Wonder what’s the difference from the serendra Chelsea? Basically, it’s cheaper here in Chelsea kitchen as it was inspired by the open cafes at Europe found in the streets, while Chelsea grand cafe is inspired by New York’s Chelsea market.

With regards to the food they serve, both Chelseas offer Western and Eastern comfort food and only little difference from each other. This branch is basically more accessible to the public and offers packages that are really good for groups!

Team Kaladkarin went to Chelsea Kitchen in SM Megamall to try the CK Bundles promo of the restaurant.

THE PLACE

Chelsea Kitchen is a spin-off restaurant of The Raintree Restaurants Group. It has a casual set-up which the mall goers or shoppers can enjoy the banquet in an open restaurant.

CK BUNDLES

1 Mozzarella, Tomatoes and Basil Pizza
1 Spicy Arabiatta Rigatoni

You can save as much as Php315.00 for availing the CK bundle. My favorite is the Option B CK bundle. I like the flavor of Super Garlic Cream Pizza especially adding some honey chili oil on top of it. It enhances the flavor. The other one was the Chicken Bites. The chicken was very addictive during our eat up, adding some vinegar and gravy will make you eat more. Another favorite was in the Option C, you should try the Donut Holes, it's a deep fried dough with caramel syrup inside and seasoned with confectioner sugar and served with melted chocolate. Drools right? This is everyone's dying for... I think I ate 3 donuts. Hehe

THE SERVICE

The service went well. Michele of Raintree Group accommodated us and the staff of Chelsea Kitchen provided excellent service.

The event was sponsored and paid by Chelsea Kitchen.

#ilovetoeatph ️

The Looloo rendezvous paved way for me to meet new people who also loves food as much as I do. And one influenced me to try Chelsea Kitchen (Hi Mich M).

Tried their best-selling Tapa. The serving is sooo generous. I think it is good for 2 persons. The tapa itself is delicious, it is not the usual taste you expect from a tapa. It is conveniently placed on top of the rice which allowed some of drippings be in the rice for added flavor. Egg cooked perfectly. It was served with Suka and Atsara on the side place in small cute baking cups.

I cannot imagine how full I am after this dinner. Looking forward to try their pastas.

Its been quite a while since I dine in Chelsea Kitchen. The last time was in Podium. And ever since they reincarnated in Megamall, its my first time... that's 2 weeks ago (sorry for the late post)

The place has maintained its homie feels though they are now located in an open space. Its fresh and modern as usual.The Raintree group has consistent ambiance🏽

Their menu is well thought of, not the usual dish we had. It has a twist, the kind that excites your tastebuds.

We had:

🏼Smoked Tinapa Aglio Olio -angel hair pasta,fresh basil, peperoncini, and cherry tomatoes. - looking at it makes me think twice if its good. Its not as colorful as other pasta that I normally tried. But the tinapa is the main ingredient that brings taste plus the pasta is just enough not as heavy. All in all, I enjoyed it. Its simple yet flavorful.

🏼Bulalo Ramen- meaty beef bulalo, soup, cabbage and noodles. This was ordered by Lea A Its the usual bulalo, but instead of having rice. The

🏼Bottomless Iced Tea- so good!

Food: i enjoyed the pasta, the bulalo ramen is just okay to me
Price: for big serving, price is reasonable

I apologize for being a coffee snob but their coffee is bleh. It may be my fault too for ordering the Cafe Dulce de Leche, so I'll give the other offerings a chance.

Yellow Carbonara: creamy pasta with poached egg topped with Hollandaise sauce - what more can you ask for in a comfort food!

Peach Mint Iced tea: love it..!! Right amount of sweetness and mint

The legend of Mr. Jones' US Beef Ribcap Tapa and Garlic Overload continues in Chelsea Kitchen! Ahhhh, the world is right again. I can, once again, hear Barney Stinson saying, that's gonna be, legeeeeeendddd-wait-for-it-tapa-oveload-daaaary!

Since the Raintree group closed Mr. Jones 3 or so years back, I've been missing what probably is the best tapa ever for me. Juicy, thin cut, soft, beefy but ever so fatty cuts of beef tapa, giving my mouth a burst of savory goodness with a hint of sweetness! Ahhhh, oh Mr. Jones Tapa Overload, how long has thee been missed by me!

Chelsea Kitchen, at a Glance:
> Food & Beverage:
> Service (Dine-In): a few missteps by the trainee on denying me the tapa overload experience at the start was rectified. Service was friendly and fast.
> Kitchen Service:
> Ambience: brilliant use of open space, different furniture yet coherently designed look
> Value for Money:
OVERALL:
___________
Worth a try - Yes
Worth a return - Absolutely!

> TIPS: you can have coffee, brunch, dessert or have a full meal here. Well lit, great service, very good food, and a choice of at least 3 distinct areas, furniture and feel-wise. For dessert, I recommend the donut holes. Yummy with the thick chocolate dip. Coffee is great, too, though pricey.

> VERDICT: Obviously order the dammed tapa, right Peanut D??? And their Donut Holes are awesome good.

More kwento, etc.

Chelsea Kitchen offers a great variety of food, but today, my objective was to see if their tapa carries on the Mr. Jones Tapa Overload and they did! 'Nuff said. I'm thankful to have met Raintree group's Chef Kalel Chan a year ago and haven't forgotten his tips to check 2 restos of this group where Mr. Jones' imprint is subtly still visible in the form of their Tapa Overload. Yummy.

I was always intrigued with Chelsea, and finally I had a chance to have a snack here with my sister.

Well, I didn't enjoy their best seller Wicked Truffle Mac And Cheese. Too salty and I cant seem to enjoy the every bite of it. The aroma of the truffle is present however something doesn't adds up.

We've also ordered chicken salad though, and it was way better than the mac and cheese... yes it was fresh and crunchy!

Presentation of food is good, so all in all I think it was okay.
Price is quite expensive too.

I am a big fan of pizza and pasta . Had a late-lunch with a friend here a few weeks back.

We ordered:

| Yellow Carbonara: (320php) it was my first time to have a poached egg on a pasta, but I liked it it! Yum!

| Bacon Hawaiian (350php) the pizza was really flavorful. Di tinipid ang ingredients.

Service was efficient which is always a plus! 🏻

My absolute favorite salad has to be the Sesame Seared Tuna and Mango for P350. I love the tangy dressing and mango. And I get so full with the Seared Tuna that they do not scrimp on. And its so inviting, light pink smack in the middle but charcoal black on the outside, a masterchef worthy prep for the Tuna. And the drama the waiters build on when mixing all the components together makes it more fun! Caveat though, expect to wait for a while. My bf ordered a burger and it took much longer before they brought it out. We had to call their attention a few times. But when it comes to Salad, Chelsea Kitchen knows their stuff!

Had a quick lunch of truffle cheese mushroom pizza and iced tea! Nothing special.

Chelsea Kitchen is one of the most visually appealing restaurants in Mega Fashion Hall.

Located close to Zara, it's an outdoor restaurant that's actually open on all of its sides so if you're wanting some privacy while eating, this may not be the place for you.

This American-Italian inspired resto has very hip, modern and cool looking decors, furnitures and interiors. The open kitchen has a mixture of steels, woods and plastics in the designs making it look very eccentric. The colorful furnitures vary from large sofas to stools and regular chairs that really gave the resto its character and identity.

The menu has loads to offer -- from its appetizers to a selection of pizzas, burgers and sandwiches to pastas and even ramens, hot and cold drinks, Chelsea Kitchen won't disappoint.

So for our orders, we got the Mozarella, Tomatoes & Basil Pizza, Yellow Carbonara and the Seafood Cioppino.

I am not a fan of Carbonara but I got to appreciate this one given that the pasta was cooked well, the creaminess was balanced with the overall taste of the dish and I liked the effect and taste added by the poached egg on top of it. This one came with some ciabatta bread that I loved.

The Seafood Cioppino looked really well presented when it came to our table. The orange sauce mixed with loads of seafoods from shrimps, mussels, clams etc., looked visually pleasing altogether. The flavors and tastes went really good together and the texture was made even better by these soft crouton bites that gave the pasta a different aftertaste.

The pizza was the usual one. What made it a little bit different was the hot sauce that got the texture, look and color of the usual honey syrup. While I was pouring some sauce on the pizza, it got me thinking that the sauce would taste sweet and yeah, it did taste sweet with the spicy aftertaste so there's this weirdness factor. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it as it's something new for me.

There are still a whole lot more to explore from their menu and I am quite excited to visit the place again.

The location of this restaurant at Megamall wasn't so inviting to me at first as it is in an open space at the mall's fashion hall. It lacked the privacy I always look for when dining. However, they serve very good food with a wide array of food items to choose from that the privacy issue didn't matter anymore even if passersby give you a stare as you have your meal. In fact, I have been to this place twice already and wouldn't mind going back to try the other interesting dishes they offer.

Commendable among the dishes I've tried at Chelsea is the CK Chicken Salad. It's an Asian coleslaw-type salad with char-grilled Asian pesto chicken, peanut plum dressing, fresh basil, cilantro, mint leaves, red and green cabbage, carrots with a nutty flavor from the generous sprinkle of peanuts and black sesame seeds. It is quite filling and can be shared between 3-4 people. It is very refreshing, too and unique from the other salads I've tasted.

Next time I visit, I will make sure to try their desserts. I always end up too full with my meals thar there's no more room for dessert. See you again CK!
