La Maison

Derived from the French words that literally translates to "the house", La Maison is the home of steaks and seafood, but in my dining out experience it is where I found the best wild mushroom soup.

P170/bowl

The generous serving is filling enough for a light meal with the restaurant's complimentary bread sticks. Real bits of various mushrooms swim in the thick, creamy base. It has a subtle nutty, earthy flavor that you probably can only get from the real stuff which no powdered or canned alternative can compare to.

For our entrees, I had the regular serving of fish and chips. A gasp of surprise came out when I saw the huge platter being laid on our table. 2 big fried dover sole fish fillet slices were on top of a bed of large cut fries. 3 kinds of dips were served as well for it, ranch, chili, and curry. The fish was lightly seasoned, moist and flaky. I liked the ranch dip the most since it was creamy-tangy-sweet but did not overpower the flavor of the fish.


Regular serving - P375

Kojiro ordered the chicken wings (8pcs). This dish was okay if we didn't have any expectations. The wings were drizzled with a sweet-spicy sauce that gave an oriental touch to it. This was a disappointment for us since we prefer it spicy and done the Outback way.


8 pcs. - P270
