I was not a sucker for kebabs (THEN). The first time I had one was when Ate Dhang and her husband, together with their babies, gave us a dinner treat at Mr.Kabab in Quezon City. I wasn't that excited to have a taste of the Persian meat dish. But I curiously devoured every inch of the kebab they ordered. Until now, I can't even remember how it tasted. I just told myself that it won't be my favorite food.
After 2 years, I came across the dish again. Aileen, introduced me to Persia Grill along Valero St. at Salcedo Village, Makati City. I wasn't that excited to have lunch at the resto, but she assured me that the kebabs there are really good and affordable. We ordered the BM1 or Business Meal 1 on the menu, which costs only Php120. It is composed of one beef skewer, rice and a mixture of yogurt and eggplant and grilled tomato on the side. It also comes with a small bar of butter to be mixed with the rice while eating the kebab.
My indifference to the kebab changed the moment I tasted it. Aileen was telling the truth! This time, I can now say that I will always remember how delicious it is.
Last week, I brought Beth, to Persia Grill at SM Megamall. She ordered the chicken tikka and I went for the beef skewer. With a shawarma plate and our kebab meals, we enjoyed our Persian food experience with large gulps of raspberry iced tea!
