Another new resto just sprung up at Maginhawa St., UP Village...Kiss The Cook Cafe! I got really excited when we passed by this place one evening. The place is quite nice and cozy...now let's see if the cook deserves a kiss ;P heheheWe decided to get starters first before we order any main dish. Their menu offers an array of interesting fusion dishes...and we picked ...
Hermit Crabs Php 195.00
Crabcakes in a borrowed shell, with mango salsa. We love crabcakes so this one was the first thing that we wanted to try here. They were 7 pieces of clam shells filled with spiced and breaded crabmeat. At first bite, we were really pleased as there were lots of crabmeat and each bite was very tasty and flavorful. However, after finishing our first shells, our palates were left by a very overwhelming saltiness! We asked for more of the mango-salsa to douse off the salt on out palate so we may continue to enjoy the crabcakes...but alas...they were just too salty =( . Just take out 50% of the dishes' salt content and this would absoultely be great!We gave the starters another shot and opted for ....
Spinach Feta Dumplings Php145.00
Mini spanakopitas with roasted garlic aioli. They were nice and crunchy and had generous spinach filling.... we counldn't really taste the feta and the dish was also salty =(The place is promising but we were kinda taken back by the saltiness of both appetizers we tried. The place has just opened so we can give it another try one time =)

I have to admit that both dishes look tempting, but I was put off by what you said about both being too salty. What is it with restaurants these days? Most places I've been to have also been serving disturbingly salty food!
