This afternoon, I had a late lunch at Terry Selection in Podium. I’ve been to Terry’s before but only to buy from their deli. Back then, their space dine-in customers can only accommodate a few tables but they expanded the place now which is a really good thing.

The food they offer is a bit pricy so I settled for a sandwich, a bowl of soup, and my staple Coke Light.

Crema de Calabacines al Queso

The soup I got, Crema de Calabacines al Queso, is sublime! It’s pureed green zucchini with a touch of cream cheese. The croutons were cooked perfectly but I couldn’t figure out what kind of bread was used. For Php 160, I highly  recommend this!

Yes, the sandwich is called Mess but it must be a family joke because it sure isn’t messy. It’s a combination of pepper salami, smoked pork ham, Tomme de Savoie cheese, tomato, lettuce and their special dressing. It comes with potato chips and mayonnaise. The meats are delicately salty and the veggies are very fresh. Mess is Php 295, expensive for a sandwich and they have other sandwiches which are more pricey.

Rating: ★★★★☆

For a restaurant in a mall, Terry Selection goes beyond my expectation. I wish the restaurant is cozier because I found the design too utilitarian. Perhaps their other branches have a more homey feel. I’ll try to order a better meal the next time I go there but I must prepare at least Php 1,000 to enjoy it. Still, I definitely enjoyed my humble meal.

Overall Rating: ★★★★½

    LOVE Terry's. They've got a decent selection of hard-to-find high-end groceries, and their bistro is great. You're right, though - it's quite expensive for what they offer.
  • I agree. I love the deli!
  • I've been meaning to go to this place, but I'm more interested in the deli part. What should I get when I have the chance? :)
  • I try to buy pate from them whenever I can. I recommend the wild boar one. It costs around 280 and it's really good. They also have a great selection of wines and meats :)
  • Wild boar pate?! @_@ Why that's actually interesting. I've eaten dog and snake, so why not? Kung Hei Fat Choi!
  • It's really good. I promise!
  • Haha, will see. They better be from the acorn-fed Iberian boars. :P
  • I think they are!
