Hey Brew: New Restaurant Alert!
There’s a new restobar in Greenhills you shouldn’t miss! Hey Brew is the newest restobar headed by Chefs Niño Laus and Kalel Demetrio. We were invited to their prelaunch to sample some of their dishes, and their menu is creative, fun, and delicious! Expect a very well-thought-out menu that can please even the pickiest eater!
For some appetizers, we had their baked mussels, foie gras chawanmushi, and granita oysters. (which I believe is a must-try if you’re going to try it here!) The blend of the sweet granita and the fresh oysters is truly a different mouth-feel experience. The creaminess of the chawanmushi and the uni together did not disappoint either! I love the balance of the creaminess with the caviar, and the presentation of all the dishes was a feast for the eyes as well!
For the main courses, we tried their Duck Leg Confit, and Braised Lamb Shank - both of which were crowd pleasers! Being a fan of duck, this dish really made my stomach (and heart) sing! The juiciness of the meat, the fruitiness and sourness of the cranberry sauce, really complements the overall dish. The lamb shank was a winner too! The meat is fork-tender, and luscious; we can’t stop eating it even when we’re full.
What stood out to me was their beef tongue dishes! They had this amazing Beef Tongue sandwich, which I thought was really really good, because aside from the brioche bun, their pickled red cabbage cuts through the richness of the beef; they also have these tongue skewers which did not disappoint as well - softness, and richness, like a wagyu cube. Did I mention they braise their ox tongue for 72 hours for the full flavor?
We coupled the dishes with some bomb drinks too! I personally loved their cocktail drink, Hari ng Kanto, which features Chef Kalel’s salted caramel vodka - which is sweet, and rather interesting to drink. For non-alcoholics, they have milkshakes too, one of which is the Brown Sodium Milkshake, sweet and salty, and really pretty to look at! I mean, look at that drip!
Overall, what a great tasting experience! Would definitely recommend this to friends and family to try!
