MARMALADE KITCHEN: Comfort Food by Chef Aileen Anastacio of Goodies & Sweets :)

As featured in BEST OF TAGUIG: 10 Most Awesome NEW Restaurants in BGC & Taguig 2014! 

MARMALADE KITCHEN is a comfort food resto and kitchen studio by Chef Aileen Anastacio of Goodies & Sweets fame. I like the simple, home-cooked goodness of the food prepared by the chef. 

The name of the resto is inspired by Chef Aileen’s love for breakfast, brunch food and marmalade. She loves the color orange so you can see different shades and forms of it throughout the store. 

It’s a cafe with a kitchen studio — a place where people can cook, learn and eat, something the chef loves doing until this day.  You can have a kids’ birthday party or a private cooking session with the chef in the studio.

✮ Marmalade Kitchen Beef Burger (P400). On burger bun with truffle cheese spread and onion strings.

Everyone liked the burger, it was simple, and very tasty.  The kids had to put the onion strings on the side though. 

✮ All Beef Lasagna (P260).

The beef lasagna was done well, with balanced flavors — not too cheesy and with the right amount of beef and homemade pasta. Just the way we like it.

✮ Penne with Pesto Cream Sauce (P220).

Simple but yummy. The creamy sauce is not to overpowering, and with just the right amount of pesto and cheese. 

Crunchy Tapa (P295)

This was OK — tapa cooked cicharon style with garlic rice and egg. The tapa was too tough for the kids.

✮ Half Mile Creek Chardonnay 2012 (P180 – by the glass)

They have a refreshing white wine for those moments when you just want to chillax with friends.

KFC (KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN) Wings (P250)

This was was too saucy and oily.  I would not recommend this.

Right after my Malaysia trip, it was nice to eat simple comfort food with our 4 boys.

A good comfort food cafe isn’t complete without a good selection of desserts.

White Toblerone Cheesecake (P160)

This was OK…not too sweet and not too cheesy. 

✮  Turtle Pie (P150)

If you were to order dessert, I would recommend this turtle pie, with crushed chocolate cookies as the base and a creamy middle, topped with a generous amount of chocolate and caramel sweetness. 🙂

Red Velvet Cupcakes (P60)

This was also just OK. Got it for the colorful candies for the kids. The color of the cake is pinkish rather than red.

I love Marmalade’s Kitchen simple comfort food theme and their delicious home-cooked food prepared by Chef Aileen Anastacio. The Kitchen Studio is a unique feature of this restaurant and one of these days, we will surely have a mini-private kitchen session with the kids and their friends. 🙂

Make sure to order the All Beef Lasagna, Beef Burger, and the Turtle Pie. Budget is about P500 – P700/head with drinks and dessert.
