Enjoy Bestsellers at Gerry’s Plus in UP Town Center

By Ethel Merioles @kaxmerio

A new restaurant in UP Town Center brings together all the popular dishes from Gerry's Grill and sister restaurants Aresi and Sweet Chili to make the Filipino dining experience a whole lot better!

Four flat screens entertain diners in a spacious room that can accommodate up to 90 pax.

Sure the standard Gerry's Grill fare like grilled liempo, calamares, sizzling sisig and lechon kawali are available at the newly opened restaurant, but there are a lot of other Asian and Italian-American Fusion favorites that you, your barkada and family will love!

Fusion Favorites

Chicken with Basil

Tender chicken topped with salsa and fried sweet basil leaves

Gerry's Plus Binagoongang Rice

Php185

A Sweet Chili mainstay, Gerry's Plus Binagoongang Rice is made of bagoong fried rice with sweet, well-seasoned pork, fresh onions, green mangoes and scrambled egg. Looks fairly simple, but packs a wonderful flavor!

 

 Gerry's Plus Crispy Vegetable Pockets

Php 135

Each order consists of five crispy fried lumpia bags of vegetables and ground meat and served with Thai sauce. Bringing a new twist to the Filipino favorite fried lumpia, these vegetable pockets taste great with the tangy-sweet flavors of the Thai sauce. Slightly oily though.

Salt and Pepper Squid

Php225

Perfect with a swig of beer, every mouthful of these lightly fried squid pieces go well with Gerry Plus' homemade Thai sauce made of bell peppers.

Japanese Tofu with Minced Chicken

Php195 Possibly the best I've tried, these lightly battered tofu pieces are topped with ground chicken and Thai-inspired sauce to bring out the wonderful Asian flavors from the minced bell peppers and fried sweet basil.

Lava Cake

A favorite from Gerry's Grill sister company Aresi, the lava cake oozes with real chocolatey goodness and has the velvety texture that goes well with the caramel sweetness and crispiness of the sugar crisp.  This is the best dessert to top off a filling meal!

Verdict

Gerry's Grill goes a step beyond the usual Filipino dishes that are best matched with a San Miguel beer by launching Gerry's Plus, the go-to resto for Gerry's Grill bestsellers and dishes from well-received Italian, American and other Asian cuisines. From the interior design to the flavors, Gerry's Plus oozes a laid-back, family-friendly vibe. The most recommended food, however, include the Asian-inspired Japanese Tofu with Minced Chicken and Salt and Pepper Squid. Ambience 4/5 Taste 4/5 Price 4/5
