Before that evening, it was months since I last saw Chai, who I fondly call Chai-fer.  She is that person I used to always bring in tow to events/vtrs and wherever my happy feet lead us to.  It was supposed to be a dinner date with Bubba but I caught sight of Chai with a welcoming smile at the door.  I knew I was set-up.

Paul Calvin Deli is a quaint 2-storey deli that has checkered floor.  Genuine charm can be felt throughout the dining room while dimly lit spotlights cast a glow on the warm yellow walls that are accented by distinctive display items and paintings. 

It was my first time at Paul Calvin and boy, did I enjoy their food!  My expecting palate was opened with bursting flavors of spice and sweetness as I bit into their free bread.  Bubba had to request for another plate because the first one was finished in a flash.  I almost ignored the olive oil balsamic vinegar mixture. 

While Chai only had coffee, Bubba and I ordered one dish each.  I had the Mac and Cheese while he ordered the Red Chicken Curry.  The Mac and Cheese (P199) had 4 kinds of cheeses, Cheddar, Italian Mozzarella, Swiss Cheese and one of my favorite cheeses as of late, Emmenthal.  It was successful in marrying the different cheeses.  A lot of catching up to do but most I did was stuff my mouth with flavorful food.

Paul Calvin Deli has introduced a new approach to their menu offering healthier dishes to accommodate diners who are conscious of their food intake.  It’s the freshness of the food and the caring service that definitely sets this deli apart from the other delis. 

Paul Calvin Deli is located at Unit 111 Forbes Town Center, Rizal Drive, Fort Bonifacio, Global City, Taguig.  Contact them at 8565900.
