Relish Hello! Happiness Restaurant, Morato

Last year, I suggested Lola’s Café to the SOLA gang to celebrate Isis’ birthday. They were pretty happy about the homey ambience in the traditional house-cum-restaurant and generally with the food. After a couple of months, they discovered another restaurant with a homey ambience in the Morato area and kept insisting to bring me there.

They were all telling me how it reminds me of my own living room at home mostly decked in white motif and neutral colors with minimal color accents. After our Christmas outreach, we wanted to grab a late lunch somewhere in Quezon City and finally ended up at Relish. The porch which serves to be the waiting area when the dining room is packed looks like a modern living room with lots of lamps and modish accents. I actually saw two pillows that were exactly the same as mine.

On the Table

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup P140

I started off with the roasted tomato soup which tasted smoky tangy and slightly sweet. It was quite good to start my meal with.

Hummus with Pita Bread P225

I love hummus and the version of Relish was quite appetizing as well. The pita bread could be a little thinner.

Slow Roasted Beef Belly with Au Jus (2 slices) P395 / (3 slices) P495

EJ and Babat ordered one each. EJ always gets Relish’ slow-roasted beef belly with au jus every time he dines at the restaurant. He loves the fork-tender beef belly that easily breaks apart. He got the 3 slices and shared a piece with me.

Hickory Smoked Barbecue Pork Belly P

Tender prime pork belly served with Relish special barbecue sauce with a distinct smoky flavor

Relish Special Sisig P225

Relish Special Sisig is the other dish that they’ve been raving about and this one I can readily agree and rave about too. It has a lot of crunchy, spicy and creamy bits of pork cheeks, onions, and garlic.

Relish Roasted Chicken P390

Roasted half chicken marinated in garlic cloves, oregano and infused in lemon

I think this was Isis’ order which was a little dry and bland for my taste but she seemed to enjoy it.

Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder P420

Slow roasted lamb shoulder served with pita bread, aioli, and choice of couscous, or other side dish. Choice of side dishes includes garlic mashed potato, herb butter rice, or side salad.

Panna Cotta

I heard a lot about their Chimichuri Chicken Kebab with Herb Butter Rice (P360) and how it’s one of their bestsellers, I should give that a go next time.
