Chef Benjo Tuason is at it again. A new Bar Chow Menu including desserts for late nights at URBN Bar & Kitchen. Late night Happy Hour just can't get any better than this...
The new menu designed and created by Chef Benjo Tuason will be part of URBN Bar & Kitchen's Bar Chow Menu for the late night Happy Hour, served daily from 12mn to 2:30am. URBN's new Bar chow include four flavorful pizzas, an extensive range of light and savory dishes and just in case you have a late night sugar craving, Chef Benjo Tuason has four new desserts. Happy hour was never this cool...
Our sneak peek at URBN Bar & Kitchen's new Bar Chow Menu started with some of Chef Benjo's signature appetizers, like the Caramelized Onion and Bacon Tartlets with pesto cream cheese (P 260)...
...and Mini Blackbenny Angus Burgers (P 260-3pcs/P 520-6pcs) mini Angus paties on Brioche buns with mild cheddar, bacon, onion jam, and aioli; and Mini Curried Shrimp Burgers (P 260-3 pcs/P 520-6pcs) with curry mayonnaise, Romaine lettuce and tomato. The thick Angus patties pack so much flavor, and the cheddar, bacon and onion jam add layers of more flavors in each bite. The Curried Shrimp Burgers were also equally flavorful, with the subtle yet rich notes of the curried shrimp blending well with the curry mayo and vegetables. Definitely different, just perfect with your favorite cocktail at URBN Bar & Kitchen.
And don't forget URBN's Home Made Potato Chips (P 250) with aioli and pesto dip. Thin, crisp and deliciously salty, great with a few beers, or better yet, any of URBN's signature cocktails.
The new URBN Pizzas, with four flavors to choose from, including the savory All Meat with BBQ Sauce Pizza (P 410) topped with chorizo, roast beef and salami with URBN's homemade BBQ sauce; the Four Cheese Pizza (P 370) with mozzarella, manchego, cheddar and parmesan, the Vegetarian (P 320) with mushroom, olives, capsicum and caramelized onions, and the Seafood Pizza (P 380) with shrimps, white fish, scallops, anchovies and pesto. Meat, cheese, vegetarian and seafood, URBN's got you covered. Each pizza is distinct, served in a traditional and rustic flat bread style on wooden boards. The thin crust is crisp, the perfect base for Chef Benjo's rich toppings.
URBN's kitchen then goes to high gear, as more new dishes arrived. The Lamb Hash (P 320), a rich dish of tender lamb and potatoes comes next. Comforting and filling, with clean yet subtle gamey flavors I always look for in a lamb dish. After a few more spoonfuls, you get a craving for garlic rice. And another round of cocktails. Seriously good.
Country Fried Bacon (P 250), thick-cut and smoky bacon deep-fried to crispy perfection. Just can't go wrong with bacon...
Sticky BBQ Chicken Pops (P 350) with a creamy Roquefort dip. Tender chicken with a sweet and spicy glaze that gradually builds a cooling and refreshing heat. Add more of the Roquefort dip if it gets too spicy, or better yet, go for another round of cocktails...
Then, the new desserts were served...
URBN's new Maple Bacon Cheesecake (P 250), a perfect blend of salty and sweet, with rich cheesecake topped with crunchy bacon bits drizzled with maple. A few bites and one is suddenly reminded of comforting breakfast flavors, as you go for more. And like they say, anything with bacon...
White Chocolate and Cookie Butter Love-Ah Cake (P 270) with vanilla ice cream, a refreshing new twist on URBN's classic Chocolate Love-Ah Cake with rock salt and extra virgin olive oil. This time Chef Benjo combines rich white chocolate and sweet cookie butter, and you just know that combo works. And it does. Slice up the cake and watch the cookie butter flow, then add some ice cream. Just perfect.
Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake (P 250), a rich blend of chocolate flavors and creamy cheesecake topped with nuts and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Rich and indulgent, guaranteed to fix any late night sugar craving.
Nutella and Candied Hazelnut Cheesecake (P 250), another perfect blend of flavors, with the Nutella adding a distinct sweetness and the walnuts for texture and crunch. Great with a cup of URBN's special brew. Bar chow and desserts, all you need for late night happy hour at URBN Bar & Kitchen. And Chef Benjo does it again...
