Salvaje @ Costa del Este

While the project manager, me and mr-nice-guy worked closely together during the week we were in Panama, we also hangout alot after work, especially for dinner coz we are 'foodies'.
Mr-nice-guy, being the most familiar with the place, recommended us to try out Salvaje, a Japanese fusion restaurant.
The interior is impressive.
This is definitely not a usual dining place. I believe it caters more for occasion/event sort of dining. It even has a small stage for their daily 8pm music performance.
The tableware nicely laid out.
We ordered truffled mushroom dumplings.
The dumplings are stuffed with truffle cream. We liked it so much that we ordered another plate.
We also had ribeye angus prime, medium rare. A 'stone grill' is provided to cook the beef if we want it 'done'.
Total bill for this meal came to USD107 ++ tips.
Definitely a pricey meal but it's the experience that matters. Great meal with great companions. All of us are from different continent and we were able to dine out together in this rare meet-up.

Doesn't look like a Japanese eatery but a nice place to hang out. I would enjoy the dumplings too.

Rose world: I think it has an identity of its own since they served 'fusion' food.

Mun: Definitely!

Wow, what a fantastic dining experience at Salvaje! 😍 The Japanese fusion cuisine sounds absolutely mouthwatering, especially those truffled mushroom dumplings. 🍄🥟 And ordering a second plate? Now that’s a sign of deliciousness! The ribeye angus prime cooked to medium rare on a stone grill sounds like a perfect choice too. 🥩🔥

The ambiance seems so unique and special, with a small stage for live music performances at 8pm. 🎶 That must have added a wonderful touch to the whole dining experience. And it’s even more amazing that you got to enjoy this meal with great companions from different continents. 🌍🌎🌏 It’s always heartwarming when people from different backgrounds come together and share memorable moments.

Though the bill may be on the pricier side, it’s definitely worth it for the exceptional experience you had. Sometimes, it’s not just about the food but also about the company and the overall atmosphere. 💫✨

Tekkaus: Hi Tekkaus, thank you for dropping by again with long comments, which sometimes sounds abit like chatgpt coz the sentences are so well-constructed ;P

Hahahaha, my spouse also feels tekkaus comments are like those generated by chatgpt. Whereas I feel he has templates where he just fill in the variables according to what food I ate.
