Upon entering this quaint little restaurant called Sugarleaf along Wilsons Street in San Juan, its charming ambiance welcomes me in such a way that every corner silently echoes an embracing imaginary voice telling me “come, our foods here will nourish you.”
True to those words, Sugarleaf is a one-stop shop of healthy food items that nourish. I’ve met one of their owners, Angelo Songco during my visit at Greenhills Sunday Market and I was in a way introduced to what products do they carry. But it was only the other night that I was able to visit and dine at Sugarleaf.
I was half expecting that it’ll be just a light dinner due to my pre-conceived notion about healthy food. I even planned to drop by Everything At Steak after the supposedly light dinner at Sugarleaf but little did I know, I was up for one of the most satisfying dinner without the guilt.
Homemade Fettuccini with Organic Pesto and Mango
I love how the texture of the homemade fettuccini cradles my tongue while the lingering distinctive taste of pesto that blends perfectly with the sweetness of the mango flirtingly tickle my palate. Every bite screams freshness which reminded me of comforting memories of summer.
Free-Range Chicken Wraps
Free-range chicken with herbs and creamy Dijon mustard, organic lettuce and cucumber, Goody Kefir dressing wrapped in whole wheat tortilla. The sound of the crunchy lettuce and cucumber as I bite into it was music to my ears and a treat to my palate. The combination of chicken, herb, mustard, and the dressing was very flavorful but not overwhelming.
Potato and Cheese Soup
Chunks of potato lavishly swimming on a thick soup hinting of herbs and creamy cheese. To say that it was a hearty soup is an understatement. Every spoonful nourishes not just the body but the soul as well.
Non-Dairy Ice Cream
If you love fruits you can never go wrong with this treat. Flavors of fruits will burst into your mouth in every spoonful, only to be tempered by the creamy component of it. This is not for the faint hearted as the mixture of fruits is very flavorful as compare to the usual fruit flavored ice cream.
The restaurant exudes homey ambiance. It can only housed roughly 30 dinners because of limited space, but that is where the charm lies; the place is cute and charming. Customers have full view of the mini kitchen where the healthy foods were lovingly prepared. While waiting for your orders to arrive, you can check out some the healthy food products they sell displayed on every corners of the restaurant for easy access.
Aside from the healthy and delicious food, Sugarleaf which focus on a mission to provide “foods that nourish” also features a mini-mart of healthy picks that carries locally-sourced organic produce from LaTOP (La Trinidad Organic Practitioners) Multi-purpose farmers. LaTop has the stamp of approval from OCCP (Organic Certification Council of the Philippines) which guarantees that the produce is all organic.
Sugarleaf conducts different seminars and workshops from time to time, and everyone is welcome to partake in those events. You can check out the events schedules on their website, www.sugarleafph.com.
My experience at Sugarleaf was downright simple but unforgettable. It reminds me of the fact that healthy food can be enjoyed and savored, of course, without the guilt.
