Love Shack at Lower Ground Level of SM Aura Premier
A look at the menu reveals their burger creations as the main
attraction. Customers, though, are beginning to grow fond of their other
dishes which consist of pastas and rice meals, among others. According
to the owners, it has been a pleasant ride so far.
Love Shack Burger Creation 1
First on our menu was Love Shack Burger Creation 1 (P260, with bigger beef burger - P315).
This combination consists of a choice between beef and chicken patty,
fresh mushroom sauce, caramelised onions, lettuce, and a helping of
delicious gorgonzola cheese wedged between two slices of special
homemade bread. It is then served with a choice of potato wedges or
chips, mustard, mayo, ketchup, and dill pickles. Patrons can choose
whether to take it with a bottle of beer or a glass of wine. With this
burger, I experience what I like to call, “love at first bite”. The
bread is made so perfectly that it wraps the patty in a snug little hug
when you bite into it, which is fantastic because it does not interfere
with the presence of the burger. The owners were unable to find a bun
that would blend perfectly with their burger patty, so they decided to
create their own. The patty itself—we had the beef—is a wonder all on
its own: thick, juicy and flavourful. This little treasure took them
around three months to fully bring to fruition.
The Chicken Tandoori (P310) is one of Love Shack’s
newest menu additions. Tender, tasty chicken cutlets are artfully
arranged with grilled vegetables on a platter and are served with a
fantastic salsa verde sauce. Additionally, we had the privilege of
sampling one of their new sauces: a tomato-based, caper-infused
concoction. Both are very much suited to the texture and the flavour of
the chicken, which makes the tandoori a must-order dish all in all. For
our pasta dish, we sampled the Tomato Shrimp Pasta (P280),
which has recently increased in serving size due to popular demand. Its
main ingredients are rigatoni pasta, fresh shrimps, tomatoes and cream.
I actually like how they chose to use rigatoni noodles for this dish;
it’s not one I see often in many restaurants, and I like how its
chunkiness goes with the shrimp and the sauce itself.

Love Shack also specialises in homemade desserts. We were able to sample two of their mouth-watering top sellers: the Triple C (P180) and the Toasted Marshmallow with Soft Ice Cream (P180).
The Triple C is a sinful polyamorous union of chocolate, caramel and
cheesecake. It may sound like too much to take in, but this trio of
sweetness makes for just the right amount of overall sweetness this time
around—you have to try it to believe it. The homemade ice cream, on the
other hand, is the epitome of comfort food dessert. It is very safe and
pleasantly conventional, which is a perfect sweet ending to Love
Shack’s barrage of comfort food.

Love Shack is a bit of an oasis in an otherwise busy area. People
ducking in and out of the department store area might spare the
restaurant a curious glance or two, fascinated by the name and the
welcoming ambiance it exudes. Why not cater to that burgeoning (I hope!)
curiosity and walk in? It isn’t just a quirky name—its comfort food
offerings do satisfying justice to a concept we all know well and love.
