When I first heard of Gayuma ni Maria, the very first thing that came into my mind was the small restaurant near Greenhills along Ortigas Ext. and Santolan named Cucina Gayuma. The name intrigued me that I wanted to try out the place but later found out that it already closed down.
After checking out some blogs about Gayuma ni Maria, we were prepared and ready with our orders in mind.
Locating the establishment was quite hard since we are not familiar with Katipunan area. Maps and directions from online sources were quite helpful though.
And so we arrived at the place.

The place looked like a residential area converted into a small restaurant.
I loved the canopy touch to their tables. It makes the dining experience more unique and intimate.

We tried their Peek-A-Boo(P145) which is their own version of pumpkin soup.
It was not creamy as stated on the menu description since there were some squash bits left unblended. I also found it too salty for my taste and the soda crackers did not just go along with it. It would be best if they just placed croutons into the soup. I liked The Real Thing Diner's pumpkin soup better.

For our main course, we ordered their Baby Back Ribs called Rock Me Baby! (P265)
Not fall-off-the-bone type but the huge slab was definitely worth its price. I loved the bbq sauce too.
Their mashed potatoes was served in a triangular shape that reminded me of Machang (Chinese sticky rice). It was plain mashed potatoes.. Bland and Simple.
