Terry's Review

Viva España!

Our director wanted our team to have dinner somewhere not within our office vicinity but we had difficulty on choosing setting when. This was the only time that our team was complete, a perfect time for our ‘group date’.

This restaurant is not exposed to shoppers of Podium because it’s found at the basement area. For me this place looks so intimidating. Most of its customers are those over 40’s and most of them are just having some good time (more on amigos and amigas meet up)

Aside from their paella and other gourmet dishes Terry’s also has a wide range of wine selection to choose from.  Some Spanish ingredients are also available.

Here's a glimpse of some of our orders:

We started with some greens on our table

Green Garden Treats

Fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, corn kernels, hard-boiled egg and nuts tossed with their unique sherry balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkled with Reggiano shavings. Their salad is a good starter. The veggies were fresh. 325 Php for Large serving.

Tha Pumpkin soup was ok for me. Though I find it a bit pricey for its serving size.

Paella is definitely the 1^st thing that would pop your mind when talking about Spanish dining. Paella is rice cooked in a paellara which is a round flat pan using different spices and ingredients which gives the rice its distinct taste. It is commonly cooked with seafood particularly shellfish but can also be replaced by chicken.

We ordered large Super-Paella Parellada and Chistorrado for sharing.

Super-Paella Parellada

Super-Paella Parellada - paella topped with Shrimp and Chorizo. 740 Php 

Chistorrado

Chistorra (a type of sausage) from Spain and rice are cooked in a luscious sauce of roasted red capsicum (bell pepper), Piquillo peppers and melted cheese. 740 Php

Both paellas were good. This is my first time to dine in an authentic Spanish restaurant but their paella is really remarkable for me. The rice was cooked evenly and the other ingredients didn’t over power the rice.  If I would pick my personal choice it would be the Super Paella. For the only reason that I’m not a big cheese fan.

My personal order is the Sea Bass Medallion - Pan-seared sea bass served with a side of confit potatoes lightly tossed in a warm, fresh herb alioli

I know that we are going to have loads of paella that night so I ordered something without rice. The Sea Bass was lightly flavored and taste good also. 375 Php

Sea Bass Medallion

Apple Juice

I also tried their apple juice for 40 php. This is not recommended for people with hyper acidity because its too sour.

Some of my colleagues order

Chuletillas de Cordero

Chuletillas de Cordero - Baby lamb cutlets accompanied by Piquillo peppers, stuffed with a refined concoction of Asturian smoked black sausage bathed with a distinctive Ribera del Duero red wine reduction. Two thumbs up for the lamb itself. 595 Php

The white wine that we ordered was also good. I forgot the name though.

Overall I will say that my 1^st Terry’s experience was good. And definitely will invite my close friends to dine here. Definitely for special occasions only. Their menu may be pricey but the quality of food served speaks for itself.
