Are You Mad for Garlic?

My answer is yes! I like all kind of root veggies including garlic and all types of onion even in raw form. But it will be quite tricky to serve food that feature those as the main ingredients; could be yay or nay . 

Become the inspiration of this post, Mad for Garlic, the restaurant originated in Korea dare to take the risk. And I must say, they nail it. I have become their admirer right after my first experience tasting their food, but then I became their fan after I paid another visit, especially for their pizza range. Yea, instead of serving traditional Korean dishes, such as kimchi, jap chae etc, they offer wide variety of Italian food; fusion to be exact.

When I first was recommended to give a try the garlic snowing pizza, I was quite skeptical that would be a smart choice, but I accepted the challenge and crossed my finger that the dish would no be a disaster. Well, it was definitely not, on the other hand, my personal opinion, it was phenomenal. I tasted the flavour that never existed in my mouth. It might be quite debated, as the garlic itself is not universally acceptable. However, I can say that this dish is a must try, especially for those who enjoy or even just moderately like garlic. But for those who really cannot take garlic, might give contrast results, either they suddenly find the hidden admire to it or would stay on their firm dislike behavior towards the ingredients. 

Garlic Snowing Pizza

The garlic snowing pizza is a decent food with sweet taste from the spread of deep-fried garlic and pineapple dice and a hint of not-so-salty cheese on top. The sweet and salty flavour was well balanced, and every topping compliment each other. You actually can ask for more cheese anytime as they freshly grated in front of you right after they serve it on the table. The deep-fried garlic really does not produce very strong garlic smell and bitter, rather it's sweet, fragrant and crispy. The pizza crust is made thin so it's crisp and I think it's suitable with the topping taste. This dish is awarded with my respect, the-weirdest-yet-best-and-nicest pizza I have ever eaten. I was so impressed till the extent of missing the taste in my palate when I was having an authentic Italian pizza at Pepenero. 

Garlicholic Fried Rice

Enough about the snow pizza, I believe I would not stop bragging about it and it's time this unique fried rice to take the spot, Garlicholic Fried Rice. It was like any other normal fried rice, nicely seasoned but nothing special; just normal fried rice but with whole-roasted garlic.

This restaurant offers many decent food, and the price tags picture them well. Money talks. Well, if you look for new food experience and do not mind to spend extra, this restaurant can cover all.

Try the garlic snowing pizza, it's a must.
