“ Eat Kitchen & Bar (extension of Blend & Grind) Not only they have a beautiful and inviting interior. The flavors of the food is amazing. We ordered: - Pork Adobo - Thai Red Chiken Curry - Sizzling Garlic Prawns / Gambas Al Ajilio Food plating and quantity is great, depending to each person but I think the serving can go for 2 person. The sauce and flavors are amazing, however the chicken and pork meat came off dry. The Sizzling prawns paired with the toasted bread was amazing. Highly recommend this dish. Would go back again to try other dishes. The food service is top. All staff is friendly and welcoming. With the atmosphere and cleanliness - food pricing is worth it. ”

The burger was absolutely delicious perfectly grilled patty, juicy and flavorful, layered with melted cheese, fresh veggies, and a slice of pineapple that added the perfect sweet-savory balance. The bun was soft yet held everything together really well, making every bite satisfying. The house-made chips on the side were golden, crispy, and addictive, It's a great upgrade from the usual fries. Paired with their dip, it completed the meal perfectly. Not only was the food top-notch, but the presentation was also on point. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail here. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you want comfort food done right. Highly recommend! ”
