Yup! Wicked Kitchen is cooking something wicked and we’re so lucky we got to try their bestsellers. The restaurant’s owner and resident chef, Ms. Katrina Laxamana, is a graduate of the Center for Culinary Arts. Her professional experiences in the Philippines and in Australia aided her in creating delectable dishes with a special twist. All these are served in Wicked Kitchen.
We divided our wicked food experience into three categories to help you decide which ones are for you. But you know what, try all because everything’s A+.
3. Wickedly Savory
First up on our list are savory dishes that will sweep your hearts and taste buds in every bite. We’ll go from salad and finger lickers to bangers and rice meals!
Asian Chicken Salad
Looking for a healthy yet appetizing and belly-filling meal? Go for the Asian Chicken Salad. It’s your classic mixed lettuce in Asian dressing but also with grilled chicken, mandarin oranges and crunchy egg noodles. Aside from being super yum, it’s Instagram-worthy too!
Fire Starters
Spice up your meals with Fire Starters. But hey, these are not your ordinary crunch deep-fried dynamite rolls! Aside from chili and cheese, it’s filled with chicken which makes it extra special!
Bangers n Mash
Not in the mood for rice? Try and taste their Bangers n Mash. You can get a sausage of your choice, from Beer Sausages and the usual Hungarian to Garlic and Schublig. Added with mashed potato, sauteed onions and beer gravy, it’s definitely something you shouldn’t miss!
Bagoong Rice
You wouldn’t want to say no to crunchy liempo bits, chili pepper and bagoong once you get a taste of this rice bowl. The spicy kick definitely complements the savory flavors of the grilled pork belly slices. Embrace your Filipino palate with Bagoong Rice!
2. Wickedly Sweet
These desserts are so deliciously sinful that they are named after the Seven Deadly Sins. Which one’s yours?
Greed
Satisfy your s’mores cravings with Greed. The combination of choco ganache and melted mallows will surely make you feel an intense desire to have more, hence the name. Plus, graham crackers are also served for you to scoop and enjoy the dessert at its fullest level.
Drop by Wicked Kitchen on your birthday because they give free Greed desserts to birthday celebrants! Lucky for me, I’m an August celebrant!
Envy
This talk of the town chocolate milkshake is smothered with brownie, rainbow candy, choco stick, torched mallow, pretzel, caramel and whipped cream that will totally arouse jealousy! I mean, just looking at it will make you want to buy one (which you should, by the way)! Contrary to its name, this dessert is a concoction of all things happy, good, and wonderful!
Gluttony
What do you say about soft, chewy, and freshly baked chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and choco syrup? It’s like every sweet we’ve ever loved all in one plate! It’s so gluttonous and in demand that aside from solo, they created a serving that is good for sharing.
1. Wickedly Wicked
Ex Lasagna and Rebound Lasagna
Once upon a time, someone got a lasagna recipe from an ex. They tweaked and turned it into a restaurant special and called it Ex’s Lasagna. As they say, “some relationships don’t last but recipes do.” It’s made with lasagna pasta, bolognese, alfredo sauce, and cheese.
But then, as the tables have turned, that someone became an ex too which inspired the owner to create another pasta. Wicked Kitchen’s Rebound Lasagna, total opposite of Ex’s Lasagna, is made with four cheese, chicken, Italian sausage, white wine, and cream. A plate of this lasagna is so good that it can help you nurse that broken heart.
Rebound Lasagna
If these wicked food and the wicked concepts (and stories) behind them aren’t enough to show you how amazing Wicked Kitchen is, we don’t know what will. Nope, we actually do! Head over to the restaurant immediately and you be the judge!
