Restaurant Review: Cyma at Ayala Terraces

the resto at the Ayala Terraces Cebu

Interestingly, the only restaurant that let me down in my Cebu trip is Cyma, mainly because I found their angel hair pomodoro there to be a bit soggy.  Considering that they charge the same arm and leg price as here in Manila, I did feel sore about it, especially also that my friend Meo treated me and my other friend, Buggy there - and I did choose Cyma since I was craving for pomodoro that night. Big mistake!! I should've just chosen another home-grown Cebu resto!

Always Cyma

It's funny but Vic and I rarely deviate from our restaurant choices in Trinoma - Mann Hann, Cibo, David's Tea House, Abe, Peking Garden - and Cyma!  Everytime we want to eat interesting food, we go there, and as usual, we rarely deviate from our choices - moussaka, baby back ribs - except this time, Vic opted for salmon, since he really has to cut down on his meat intake. 

The baby back ribs topped with the sauce was really delicious, and then the moussaka's meat and eggplant did not disappoint too.  Vic ate most of the salmon although I got a morsel or two.  It was juicy!  We decided to do al fresco today since the weather was cool and the pedestrian crowd was pretty interesting, with people busy with their last minute shopping!

Sunday Family Dinner at Cyma Shangri-la

We usually gravitate to the same restaurants in most of the malls we visit.  For example, if we are in Shangri-la Mall, it's now usually a toss up between Cibo and Cyma.  We used to go to CPK before but Vic said the taste of their food has changed. So we don't go there anymore.  Anyway, I just had my Saturday dinner at Cyma with a friend, and now, I have my Sunday dinner again, in Cyma Shangri-la, this time with my family.  Vic did most of the ordering so he came up with interesting stuff like moussaka, baby back ribs, which is his favorite, and the angel hair pasta.  They did not serve any clams since they said there was a red tide.  The food was good, as usual, so I take back my observation last Saturday.  The angel hair was a bit soggy but I like the taste of the tomato sauce.  Today, I decided not to order Coke, which is good.  It's one of the things I have to limit the intake of, because I'm so addicted to it! 

My Pork Chop In Cyma

Cyma used to be one of my favorite restaurants but tonight, as I ate their pork chop, I didn't quite enjoy it.  I had the good sense to share the pork chop with my date, since I'm trying to go on a diet - and two big slices of it would've been just too much!!  Maybe because I forgot to squeeze the lemon on it, I really don't know.  Thankfully, it was tender and I sliced it easily. But still at 520 pesos (US11.85) I think it was too much.  It was bland and tasteless.  Maybe I should've asked for Maggi soy sauce.  Too bad really since I used to get excited eating there.  Well, there are several restaurants beside it so maybe I try those next time.
