After having heard many good reviews about Cookbook Kitchen, I was finally able to try their branch in Eastwood. I was disappointed that the food was not what I had expected at all.
Nice interiors, simple but very spacious and relaxing
Started off with Parmesan herbed fries, not very crunchy and completely bland
Squash soup was thick and could serve as the main course already. Not too tasty but passable. Best to finish this while it's hot, though.
Alla Checca, pasta with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese, was completely bland like the fries. Pasta was soggy and not al dente. I would recommend to change the spaghetti to penne or macaroni as the pasta hardened when it was not hot and fresh anymore due to the mozzarella.
Kittin's Scarlet Cake was the only good thing we had. The cake was heavier than chiffon cake and the consistency kind of resembled puto (rice cake). The icing had a hint of cream cheese and complemented the cake well. It was also not too sweet, which was a plus. Perfect as a snack or with a light lunch or dinner.
Ordered the house wine which had a terrible aftertaste.
I wonder if their main branch near Shaw Boulevard is any better. Cookbook Kitchen in Eastwood is located across the new Eastwood Mall, behind Make Room.
