Diversion 21

It's always a problem where to take my grandmother out for dinner because in about eight months, we have already dined in most of the usual go-to places in Iloilo City... that I honestly no longer know which restaurant to pinpoint.

My lola really enjoys eating out and as much as I want to take my diet seriously, I can't. I don't want to disappoint my lola since the times we go out to eat are probably just her little chances of seeing the world outside her home--besides from her Sunday and first Friday masses, charity work, and church meetings.

Since the very first time we ate at Diversion 21, we already grew this certain applause for it. On my side, I love how the place is so cozy; from its colors, interiors, ambiance, and staff. Everything just feels so welcoming and it's not crowded at all so we have the restaurant all to ourselves.

The first thing we ordered was the U.S. Beef Salpicao (Php 365). I swear to all Gods that it is one of the best things I have tried on their menu. I really recommend this dish, especially to beef lovers like myself. Next, we had their Chicken and Pork Adobo with liver sauce (Php 210). Well, as you can read on this dish's description on the menu, "Need we say more?"

Lastly, fish will always be on our table so we ordered their Grilled Tangigue Steak (Php 315). I liked my part of the fish with no lemony sauce because I found it too tangy. But the vegetables on the side made me forget about it and just reminded me that I do like eating vegetables sometimes.

Cucumber Cooler (Php 130) and Cherry Iced Tea (Php 70)

I'm not a fan of Cucumbers and Cherries. They're actually one of the many things that my tastebuds cannot stand, but after sipping from the drink, it's weird how I even managed to finish it. This just meant that they make bad drinks (this just goes for myself) taste so good!

Try these dishes or other food they have. There are a lot so pay them a visit in Benigno Aquino Avenue, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.
