i want to try the dishes you described!!!!

i finally tried cyma for the first time today after hearing so many, many good things about it from different friends. i must admit when i saw the menu , i wanted to order one item from each section except there were only two of us dining.

i loved the salad with sundried tomatoes, romano cheese, candied walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. i could have probably finished the whole gigantic dish of it as it was quite light. the blend of tastes (sour/ sweet/ salty) was wonderful.

but i was disappointed with their service. i ordered the swordfish fillet which the menu describes as MOIST and SOFT. the waiter, chico (of greenbelt), insisted i order the swordfish set with pita which he confidently reassured me was exactly the same except it’s complete with accompaniments. when it came, it was DRY and HARD. after eating 1 out of the 6 fish pieces, i told a nearby waiter about it, he said i should have ordered the fillet instead! i called chico and he said that it was dry and hard because the airconditioning of the restaurant caused it to harden. he said the stand of management is they wouldn’t replace it nor take it off the bill. we did pay for it with no complaint after hearing their stand. i’m just curious why despite the obvious wrong claim on the menu, no effort at all was made to live up to the captivating promises on the face of the menu. well, that’s part of food tripping

This is my first time to reply to your blog entry and I must say, I LOVE your site. I was especially thrilled when I read your review of CYMA.

My boyfriend and I had lunch at the TriNoma branch of CYMA two weeks ago, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Good food, good service, and the prices where reasonable, considering the generous servings.

My boyfriend wrote his own review of CYMA in his foodblog, please do check it out
