Sentro 1771: Feasting on the New Modern Filipino Menu

I've always been a fan of Sentro 1771's classic offerings, so trying out their New Menu was something you'd expect me to go for. 
 

Camote Cups

The Camote Cups are carved sweet potato filled with camote cubes, sauteed cabbage, baguio beans, pork, shrimp and sliced carrots.  I like the idea of adding camote to the usual mix of sauteed vegetables but it still lacks a wow factor for me. 

Fish of the Day Pandan

The Fish of the Day Pandan is an surprise fresh fish variant stuffs withsauted onions, tomatoes, miso and malunggay and closed with pandan leaves.  It has a nice clean flavor.  But, I would have appreciate this if it had more pandan essence to it.

Chicken Adobo sa Gata  (250 php)

The Chicken Adobo sa Gata is a blend of the classic adobo with vinegar, garlic and peppercorn but with an addition of coconut milk.  I found the coconut milk to be too light so it only added thickness in texture but not so much in terms of taste.

Seafood Bagoonng Rice (530 php)

The Seafood Bagoonng Rice is a very appetizing staple or even a meal in itself with lots of seafood bits and green mango slices.  I especially enjoyed the crispy catfish bits similar to the Thai concept of it.

Banana Tart (150 php)

Last but definitely not the least is the Banana Tart which is a sweet puff pastry topped with Banana slices and cream filling.  I loved this because it is similar to an egg tart which is my favorite.
