Last January, Zomato held its first foodie meet-up for the year at The Wholesome Table in Estancia Mall.
The Wholesome Table is an organic restaurant that aims to change the way we eat. Here, they offer the same type of comfort food most of us are used to eating, but they make them with healthier ingredients.
With food made only from fresh, natural and organic ingredients, The Wholesome Table inspires a change in the way people live, with every plate they have.
Owned by Bianca Araneta-Elizalde and husband Juan Elizalde, their goal is to share a wholesome experience with diners in the hopes of inspiring them to follow a healthier lifestyle.
They also want to change the way people see organic or healthy food. A lot of us seem to believe that organic food is equivalent to vegetarian or bland food, but that's not always the case.
The Wholesome Table corrects this misconception by offering tasty meat and plant-based comfort food. “I figured Filipinos will enjoy this because they can still have the many dishes that they’re used to eating such as burgers, pork, and pizza but they’re less guilty because they’re coming from good sources and made with better and healthier ingredients,” Bianca Araneta-Elizalde, owner, points out.
That day, The Wholesome Table proved that healthy can be good too. Here are my recommendations:
Avocado Toast (Php260)
I saw this on a show recently and I have been craving for it since. The Wholesome Table's Avocado Toast is made out of ourdough toast, dijon mustard, free-range eggs, avocado, and dukkah spice. I'm so glad that they still offer it even though avocado fruiting season in the Philippines is only from May to September.
Cordillera Salad (P190 / P350)
If salads are your thing, try their newest creation, the Cordillera Salad! Here, you'll get a huge serving of kale, romaine, boiled duck egg, baked onions, carrots, banget gooseberry tomatoes, squash, candied chayote, benget pole beans, Sagada oranges tossed in Cordillera citrus vinaigrette.
Their Power Bowls are a great way to keep energized throughout the day!
Poke Bowl (P450)
Whole-grain nutritious meal in a bowl - raw salmon, wakame, brown rice, onion leeks, Japanese mayonnaise, stir fry sauce, romaine, ebiko, furikake, togarashi spice, picked ginger, romaine!
Macro Bowl (P450)
Order this and feed someone in need. The Macro Bowl is one of their Wholehearted meal offerings where proceeds will go to TWT's feeding program for underprivileged communities!
What's in it: quinoa, wakame, white beans, sweet potato, kale, spinach, teriyaki almonds, garlic yogurt dressing.
Mushroom Paella (P620 / P1480)
Whenever I hear the word "paella", I always think of lots of rice with all kinds of meat on it. The Wholesome Table breaks this stereotype by creating a vegetable paella that consists of saffron caulirice, button mushrooms, asparagus, artichokes, red onion, garlic, roasted pepper, and walnut chorizo.
Here's a tip: The lemons are not just for decoration! Make sure to squeeze it over the paella to bring out the flavor!
