Mediterranean at Formo

Asked about the evolution of Formo’s new menu, Chef Dale Veloso says something akin to serendipity with a punchline. It's rock 'n roll. And that’s exactly how the Mediterranean addition turned out: blazin' hot with Chef Dale's delish honey-chili chicken wings and chicken wraps drizzled in barbecue sauce. The pork kebabs will let you rethink the good old barbecue because Formo's comes with a green chutney. An unusual pairing, yes, but definitely worth a try if your palate is praying for something nouveau. The nonpareil pan-seared perfection of the grouper in lemon ginger butter sauce also called our attention, likewise the pita bread served with garlic-y humus along with deep-fried wanton crackers paired with a zingy Asian dip made of hot bean paste.

Watch out for the official launching of this Mediterranean menu, probably by January 2008.
