Sweet and Tasty Treats at Sweet Bella!

When in Manila and you want to have a good dinning experience, head on over to Sweet Bella at Greenbelt 5!

 

 

 

 

Started 2 years ago, Sweet Bella just opened its 2nd branch at Greenbelt 5 with a wider selection of menus including some top food from Melos. And last November 27, I was one of the lucky few who got invited to sample and taste the new dishes that they have to offer.

First, they gave us a drink to pump us up for the night.

 

 

 

 

Sweet Bella has their OWN mixes for their drinks which they give unique names.

Dundee Martini–vodka-based drink + watermelon

 

 

 

 

I got a Dundee Martini that night, it  has a kick of alcohol and the after taste is the sweet watermelon!

 

 

 

 

After we warmed up with our seatmates, they served us the appetizerS which made me crave for more!

 

 

 

 

Different types of Oyster Dishes!

 

 

 

 

It was my 1st time (ever) to try oysters. And Sweet Bella’s Fresh Oysters did not disappoint!

After that, they served us the ever-famous Gambas, the Sweet Bella way!

They pair this up with their bread which they bake fresh everyday.

 Not your ordinary bread! Super YUMMY (and TASTY)!

 

 

 

 

And after they filled our stomachs with gastronomic seafood dishes, they surprised us with the main course…

The steak experience really blew me off! The half-cooked meat melts in your mouth and is full of flavor. The mashed potato on the side added more flavor to the meal.

 

 

 

 

They also served us pasta which has a really unique flavorful taste!

All in all it was food heaven at this dainty place!

Before I went home, they were nice enough to give me a box of their famous Sweet Bella Macaroons which made me so giddy!
