U.P. Town Center: The Clean Plate by Twist

"To eat is a Necessity, but to eat Intelligently is an Art." 

Clean plate is known for its organic ingredients. I'm not that into organic but I want to give it a try. 

 

Inside the restaurant was already full so we've decided to sit outside. I really like the concept of the restaurant, the faux grass table and the colors are very relaxing to the eyes. 

This is how their set up looks like

Here's our order

For appetizers 

Chicken Caesar salad 

  

Green Mango Salad

-the garlic chips is super yummy, the flavors compliment with each other. 

Main dish:

Paella Pasta

-A simple Paella recipe in a pasta instead of rice.

Beef Salpicao

-no solo photo taken, I have a photo above. The beef is very tender and easy to chew. This one is good and a must try. 

Honey Beef Belly Roast

-sweet and very tender beef, the sauce is made up of its juice from cooking the beef! Watch out for your blood pressure. Lol! 

Ox tail Kare-Kare

- nothing special on this one, actually I don't like their Kare-Kare. The flavors of the peanut and some seasoning weren't there. Plus the ox tail is not tender. 

Bistek Tagalog (no photo taken)

- this dish is quite disappointing since the beef is so hard to chew. But the sauce is good.

Bacon Lechon Kawali

-No photo taken, but this one is my favorite dish in their menu and maybe a good reason to go back there. The lechon kawali is super tender and the bacon really adds the flavor. 

Please take note that all ala carte dishes we ordered have a rice with it. And also if you are a small but frequent eater like me one main dish is good for 2. We were a group of 5 but we cannot finish the food we ordered. The service is not so poor but not so good because it was difficult for us to call our server since we were outside the restaurant. Maybe I will give it a try again and I want to feel the ambiance inside the restaurant also, I want to try other dishes.
