If you want to survive dinner in service class, you need to eat a very heavy merienda so that you can last till nine o'clock plus another hour driving home. Resto 101 is a training ground for the students of Enderun Colleges. Don't expect too much but I'm sure you will be impressed by the student's personality. The dishes are also prepared and cooked by the student chefs with the help of Executive Chef See. The students are accompanied by two waiters and a supervisor and an F&B Director.
Resto 101 is located at Wynsum Corporate Plaza in the second floor, Emerald Street, Ortigas. Enderun Colleges is also occupying the whole second floor of the Wynsum Corporate Plaza. They have a seperate entrance at the back of the building so customers can still dine even if the building is already closed. The restaurant and the school is guraded by security guards from all entry points.
The food in Resto 101 is a mix of different cuisines. In the menu you will find pastas, Thai soup, lambs, steaks, ribs and chicken, all of these main course come with a selection of sidings, personally I love the baked fries. The price varies from 300 to 400 pesos for the main course, 200 to 300 pesos for the appetizers, which include cold cuts, soups are mostly less than 200 pesos. Not bad for a fine dining experence. When you enter the restaurant, the first thing that will catch your eye is the lighting on the ceiling, it gives you a very relaxed feeling that makes you sit down listen to some jazz music and have a sip of your favorite wine. The ambiance sets you in the mood with subtle sophisticationand lets you experience what fine dining is all about. The food is just an additionto the over all experience.
I decided to order take-out because because I knew that I'm not gonna be able to wait for the food that the maid will prepare for me when I get home. I ordered Texan chicken for myself then short ribs for my sister and steak for my mother. When I got home I immediately went to the dining room and tried everything, the Texan breast with mash potato was tender, the sauce was not overflowinig just how I like it, its sweet with the barbeque flavor not too strong, after the first bite I asked myself how did they make the marinade, reminds me of the one Lola used to make in the province but with a touch of fine dining. The mashed potato was not that mushy, the consistency was not like those of the fast food restaurants, here you can still enjoy it in your pallette and still know that it is a mashed potato. The steak was done medium well with the peppercorn sauce, the cut was just enough for me and my mom. The short ribs were to die for, it was so juicy I even wanted too eat the bones. The baked fries that came with it were enjoyable as well.
