Checking out one of the newest restaurants at Ayala Malls The 30th!
Toast Asian Kitchen and Tasting Room offers a modern take on Asian comfort food. Find dishes like Hainanese Chicken, Gyozig, Tom Yum Meatballs, and more at their first ever branch at Ayala Malls The 30th!
It's one of the new places to hang out in at Pasig. Best part is that it's located inside a mall, so there's ample parking and good air-conditioning, something we all look for in a restaurant nowadays.
You can watch the latest basketball games or simply hang out with your friends over a drink or two!
First up, the Yakitori (served with either Soy Baste or Teriyaki sauce):
Squid Balls (P99)
Chicken Wings (P59)
Pork Belly (P65)
You can also try the Thai Basil Chicken Poppers (P228) - bite-sized chicken pieces deep fried and tossed in nuoc mam sauce and fresh basil!
Second, the Lunch Bowls - available from 10am to 2pm daily; served with your choice of Salted Egg Fried Rice, Dirty Fried Rice, or Plain Rice.
Tom Yum Meatballs Lunch Bowl (P225)
ground pork meatballs, seasoned with tom yum spices, smothered in tom yum sauce and melted cheddar
KFC Lunch Bowl (P235)

Salmon Belly Teriyaki Lunch Bowl (P248)

The Mains - good for sharing:

Seared Salmon Linguine (P449)

Sous Vide Crispy Pata (P799)
crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside pork knuckles cooked sous vide for three hours and deep-fried until perfectly crispy
Sous Vide Hainanese Chicken (P459)

Sous Vide Asian Style Steak (P695)

For dessert, I recommend their Chocnut Creme Caramel (P105). It's a sweet chocnut tian with sugar and roasted peanuts which has just the right amount of sweetness to it :)
I'm definitely coming back to try that Gyozig!
