Las Flores in One McKinley Place, BGC

Lunch today with one of my favourite Serendra residents was quite interesting because we didn't know the names of the dishes that we ordered!

This lunch has been long overdue, more so because I took a 5-day vacation leave to celebrate my birthday last week.

My resident had in fact eaten in Las Flores before, and she took photos of the dishes that she liked on her iPhone. So when we were seated, instead of perusing through the menu trying to figure out what she had ordered before, she just showed pictures of the dishes to the food attendant.

We ordered Mojitos to complement our food, and it was quite strong!

When we were still both working for the Social Events Committee before, we had a Spanish-themed event where we ordered 3 types of paella. Sans the teeth stains however, undoubtedly, both our favourite paella was the negra, so we ordered their Paella Negra to try and compare with Casa Marcos':

This tapas I definitely know as gambas (Gambas al Ajillo, PhP 395.00):

This tapas, I liked so much because of the assortment of chorizos, each offering a different taste, a different type of bite (Trio de Chorizos, chorizos sautéed in white wine and olive oil, PhP 625.00):

The last tapas that we ordered, had marbled potatoes, and meat that I couldn't place to be either pork or beef. So if you realise what I'm doing here, I'm comparing the dishes that we ordered to the menu of the restaurant available online. I can surmise that due to the presence of the potatoes, this is the Botifarra Catalana (PhP 495.00):

For dessert we had Churros con Chocolate (PhP 195.00), but we both agreed that we liked the churros of Dulcinea better:

The place was nice and quiet, and had a nice rustic charm to it. I loved the ceiling fans that they placed in the al fresco dining area outside the restaurant which gave it an azotea feel. The bar had an old-world feel to it. The seats had pillows and upholstery done in burlap, made to look like flour sacks, which I saw quite a lot in H&M Home in Robinson's Place Magnolia. Add the downpour that we experienced, giving the air a nice chilly clime, and the lunch experience was just superb!

Feel free to try out their other tapas and offerings:
