GYRO: The seemingly-Greek Shawarma
Monday, April 18, 2016
Before I head on, here’s to ending a stress-filled term; and starting another one. I’ve got other things to blog to you about since January, but school’s been taking up my time. So I’ll be making the best of our 1-week term break by readying the other posts, and having them officially on my blog queue. :)
Gyro offers only two choices of meat: Chicken and Beef; and you can
choose whether it’s Fully Beef/ Chicken, and if it'll come with Vegetables. You can
also have some add-ons by paying extra, and they offer other food such as
Fries, and Grilled Cheese as well.
So here are our initial orders. Plus, our friend- Arth on the top-right corner. Haha! Take note: it’s 5 Gyros for 5
persons.
Here's Gab, savoring his beloved Gyro.
Something unique, and customer-centered from Gyro is how they serve
your orders with gloves. Because eating them can get really messy, and I doubt
people would like getting their hands dirty when in malls. I also doubt that
they’d enjoy eating the Gyro with a spoon and fork, since it isn’t a fancy, Downton
Abbey-like meal.
My order was a Classic Beef Gyro, which meant it had a mix of
Vegetables. The Vegetables I recognized were Cucumber, and Lettuce.
And here's Arth, soloing the moment with his Gyro.
A girl with a
flexible tongue’s take: It was good, and I can totally get why they were starstrucked with
Gyro. It tasted pretty much like Shawarma, but imagine having a bread-flavored
Waffle as a shell instead of the regular, thin Pita. Imagine too, that the meat
tastes more real, and less stiff. Plus, the sauce they have on them is so good. It’s probably what pulled the
whole Gyro up. So yes, I liked it a lot! And I would totally come back for
more. Though I don’t recommend it for take-out, unless you don’t intend to eat
it while walking as if it’s a regular burger. It’s really messy to eat, and I
don’t think any technique can save you from dropping a Beef/ Chicken or two,
nor spilling a bit of its sauce. Eating a regular Shawarma is much easier, but
Gyro tastes much better.
Fun Fact: When I searched “Gyro”
in Google, the results showed Shawarmas. Well, they looked exactly like
Shawarma, at the least. Except, it has a much thicker Pita that doesn’t have
the appearance of a Waffle. Do you think that maybe… Just maybe… “Gyro”
actually means ‘Shawarma’ in Greek? *gasps*
Gyro’s given our tummies a great time. Especially our two, guy
friends Gab, and Arth who ordered double for themselves.
Here’s a picture of our containers. Minus one, because one of our
friends took hers home. When you see the extras, you know who they're from. Haha!
The Gyro branch we ate in is at the Ground Floor of SM North Edsa's The Block. It's located beside Cafe Adriatico, and can be easily seen from the Cashiers of the Hypermarket.
Thanks, Gab! And thanks, Gyro! :)
Before we separated ways to get to our homes, we went up to the
main floor of the Block, and found a Gourmet Fair. Giving out a 'Woohoo'! Because who doesn’t
love Gourmet Fairs? We didn’t stick around for long though, but we found some
interesting stalls that offered unique products.
But that'll be on my next blogpost. So stay tuned! ;)
'till my next post! :)
