My college friends and I had a year-end meeting last Sunday in Polu Kai Grill at Serendra, Global City. Prior to the meeting, Edel (our organizer), got an information that the said restaurant serves Hawaiian cuisine. She texted me that they have pizza, barbecue, and so on. Plus, P700 is just enough for a meal. I was actually left wondering with that information passed to me.
I have never been to Serendra Piazza. I heard about that place and thought it's not yet open to the public. To be able to reach the place without the hassle of getting lost, I asked Edel to meet me in Market Market.
Sunday night 6:30, it started to drizzle and there was no taxi. The dinner meeting was scheduled 7:00 PM, so I hurried to use the MRT to Guadalupe then just hopped into a jeepney to Market Market.
To make the story short, we made it all to Serendra Piazza's Polu Kai Grill and experienced their food except for two people. Jobs was missing in the group because her hubby was suffering some kind of pain that time. And Josh? She's the most missed by all of us. She has been ignoring us until now for some reason. Ahhh.. never mind. Let's come to the food and the ambiance of the place. Yeah, like what I've mentioned a while ago, it's Hawaiian so I already expected the hula girl by the door who greeted us with "aloha". The tiki thingy around the place, the aquarium of colorful fish, and the overall effect of the Polynesian-inspired walls gave us more appetite to fill our rumbling stomachs.
I know modern Hawaiian cuisine is a fusion of many cuisines including American, Polynesian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Portuguese. I checked the menu and realized that I wasn't wrong about it. They have the (Korean) bulgogi, kebabs, burgers and sandwiches, salads, nachos, etc. etc.
My group always go dutch (which is a good thing), so I paid only less than P500 for a plate of grilled pork belly with garlic pilaf and steamed veggies with four seasons as my beverage.
The place is great. It has enough space. Nice washroom. Friendly staff. I can say 8 out of 10. The food? Well, I'm sorry but there are restaurants out there serving better food that Polu Kai Grill. I think 5 out of 10 is enough.
I did my visit. The place is not in my favorite list yet your taste is different. Go check it for yourself.
