FUZION FLAVORS. Fuzion Gourmet, the newest at the Mango Square Mall on General Maxilom Avenue, takes its diners to a culinary journey to some of the best international flavors. The ambiance resonates the Moroccan dining vibe with a casual, quaint Italian café setting to compliment the food offerings of pastas, sandwiches, appetizers, meat and seafood selections, delis/cold cuts, and tasty desserts. Fly to Alsace in the Eastern part of France with the good-for-sharing appetizer called Flammekueche, simply thin-crusted cheese, onions and bacon pie that resembles a thin pizza. Like this tart, the Mixed Grill Fuzion Style – grilled marinated lamb, chicken, pork and beef served with French fries, rice, mashed potatoes, or mixed vegetables – also appeals to a group of three to four diners. Chicken Tajine (a personal favorite) is all Morocco inside the iconic pot – chicken stew with sun-dried tomatoes, apricots and other select veggies, topped with almond flakes, served with couscous. Default snack options are Fuzion (with cilantro) and the pesto-flavored Roma (The pesto fan won’t go wrong with this!) Burgers with 110 grams patty, served with French fries and crisp onion rings. Let your palates take you to Mexico, Thailand, France, India, Germany or to anywhere else, just browse through the iPad menu to take your pick! Fuzion Gourmet is open from 10am – 11pm from Sundays to Thursdays, and 10am – 2am during Fridays and Saturdays. For inquiries, call 254-1586 or email at fuziongourmet@yahoo.com. For functions, one can book for its extension venue at the Alta Vista, Pardo which is open for special events, team buildings, business functions, among others.
