We 'quietly' celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary early this week. As we were suddenly busy with work and errands, and we were still hesitant about going out for lunch or dinner, we decided to try ordering Persian food from Behrouz, which is a well-established and popular Persian cuisine restaurant. They had just opened a branch along Sumulong Highway, which we imagine had a nice overlooking view of Metro Manila. It is located along a stretch where there are a bunch of restaurants including the landmark Padi's Point. We learned that they had some nice meal set packages that can be delivered to your home and decided to try it out.
Naan, basmati rice and a dip made out of finely ground chickpeas and olive oil |
Beef and chicken kebab off the skewers - the tomatoes and onions are also there |
A couple of weeks ago, we finally got to lunch out after our condo turnover. We decided to eat at an Indian cuisine restaurant at Uptown Bonifacio. I still have to write about that but will be drafting and posting that article soon. There are some similarities between Indian and Persian food but the kebabs (usually associated with Turkish food) had a distinct taste, which I thought was Persian rather than Indian. I had enjoyed Persian food while I was studying in Japan as a close friend always brought some for sharing during our lunches at the university. Thankfully, his wife was good at cooking and they shared with us their curries, kebabs and even sweets made out of pistachio and peanuts.
