Coconut House Experience
When you know the wealth of goodness that a Coconut has for your body, you would want to eat Coconuts as much as you can on any given day.
Good thing there’s a restaurant called Coconut House that is dedicated to serve a mouthwatering line of coconut gourmet dishes, all at a very good price range.
Inside this quaint restaurant, guests delight in satisfying their coconut craving over popular dishes enhanced, if not notably replaced with this very versatile fruit.
On sunny days, dishes that are wonderful to digest are Coco Okoy, a deep-fried vegetarian patty molded with coconut flour instead of shrimps and white flour; Gatadobo, cocoNotSoy sauce, simmered pork infused with coconut milk; best-selling Pancit Buko, made with coconut meat strips; and their mini pizzas with coconut meat.
On rainy days, creamy coconut food fares compliment the mood with Pork Sinigang sa Buko, pork stew with coconut meat; Black Lugaw, black rice porridge with boiled egg and coconut meat; Organic Chicken & Pork slowly cooked in coconut cream, cocoNotSoy sauce, coconut vinegar, herbs & spices, and Seafood Kalabasa at Malunggay, fresh seafood with squash fruit & flower, malunggay leaves, string beans and chilies cooked in coconut cream.
While pictures of the Coconut House’s coconut-based desserts surround the pleasant dining area, it is worthwhile to have a walk around the breezy Quezon Circle, where this restaurant stands, and return to covet the slithering sweetness of desserts like, Turon, wrapped banana and coconut fritters, Coco Halo-halo with coconut ice cream, assorted Coco pastries that go well with their coconut-sugar sweetened local brewed coffee, and a variety of all-natural coconut ice creams to choose from.
As a restaurant supported by the Cooperative of Virgin Coconut Oil Producers [COVCOP], you will be delighted that not only can you eat delicious coconut cuisine, but you can also purchase 100% Philippine-made superior coconut ingredients that Coconut House use, such as Virgin Coconut Oil, Coco sugar, Coco flour, CocoNot Soy, and many more ingredients.
To complete this circle of good life, Coconut House also delivers live music performances at night and weekly drumming sessions where guests can join and jam.
So be it breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner, simply enjoy life’s delectable goodness at Coconut House.
Coconut House is located at the entrance of the Quezon Memorial Circle (Commonwealth Ave) and is open from 7am til 10pm. For reservations, dial 02-938-8513.
