Tender Bob's

This month, Tender Bob's is offering 10% discount as they celebrate their 10th year.  One of my FB friends got tagged on their anniversary flyer. This encouraged me to grab the offer and try the new branch at Greenbelt 2, Makati.

I am sooo satisfied with my order (US short ribs). Sooo tender and tasty. Perfectly yummy! :-)  Just recalling and writing about it is making me crave and I want to go back and eat again :-)

Mr. Jones

I noticed that Mr. Jones is always packed that's why it got me curious to try the restaurant. From the outside it shows "Diner" concept.  That's why at first I was hesitant to try.  Thinking of Diner, to me means 'big servings', 'american food'.  

Our orders were kinda mixed.  I find it hard to mix and match their food (appetizer, main course, sidings). We initially ordered the appetizer-  and the tapa meal.  But this wasn't sufficient for us so we ordered the fries.  Yet I was still hungry, then we ordered the French Toast.  Now it became too much.

Among all our orders, I like the French Toast (but I think its quite rich for dinner - hee hee).  Just looking at the photo - there is syrup, cream, there is actually chocolate and jelly in between toast. Plus the sweetened banana.  But it tasted soooo good :-) Though I scrapped out some of the chocolate filling since I find it too sweet already and I am not really fond of chocolate.

Well since its a Diner, ofcourse FLOATS and SHAKES are in their menu. And they have various flavors ;-)

I find this cute... while we were waiting for our table. You'd see transparent bottles at the counter. Inside it are top (turumpo), jackstones, stress balls, etc.  The attendant shared it with us... its basically for guests who are waiting for their table - to keep them occupied. Nice idea :-)

I would definitely go back again ;-)

Mr. Jones is located at the Ground level, Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City. Tel No (02) 501.36.82 to 83

HOLY COW CHOPHOUSE

I seldom go to Trinoma Mall due to its distance.  So when I go there, I try to dine to restaurants that doesn't have a branch in Makati / Alabang.

Ordered Boneless US Beef Ribs Barbecue Php340.00. I actually liked my order. The ribs were sweetly marinated, cooked just right, tender and tasty.

They just need to add in their menu refillable drinks. An order of ice tea costs 85.00 no refill.  Even though its a huge glass you'll be tempted to compare it to its neighboring joint - Jack's loft fish bowl ice tea is at 110.00.  The drink is maybe at least triple in volume - one will definitely be tempted to order from the other side.

Anyway, hope they will consider adding a refillable drink in their menu, anyhow other American food chains here in Manila offers them.  

Me and my friend hanged around for at least 2 hours and the attendants never shooed us nor bugged that we need to order more.   Overall am content with the food and the service.

Holy Cow Chophouse is located at the 4th floor of the Trinoma Mall, North EDSA, Quezon City

Grilled US beef Brochetta Php395.00








Breads are free appetizers

KENNY ROGERS ROASTERS

Its been awhile since I last ate in Kenny Rogers  (I think its been at least 2 years since I last ate there)... I can say due to their AD promotions lately -- (they have a billboard along SLEX), Kenny Rogers became on top of my mind again.

We dined in Kenny Rogers that's located  in one of the gasoline stations in NLEX.  Kenny Rogers is famous for its Roasted Chicken (its very peppery in taste).  For me, my favorite in Kenny Rogers is their corn muffins. But I think I am the only one who loves their muffins. ha ha.  I love buying and eating their corn muffins since I was in college - hmmm that was maybe at least 15 years ago

We ordered the group meal - Php575.00. It comes with whole chicken, rice, 4 side dish, 4 muffins and a pitcher of ice tea.  I think this was really a good deal.

I can say that over the years, Kenny Rogers has been consistent on its taste and quality.

RALI'S GRILL AND BAR

Rali's Grill and Bar isn't located in the busy-area of Subic.  We bumped into it since the restaurant is near our lodging during the Ad Congress (Forest View) - we would pass by it everyday.  They display different colored flags in front of their restaurant - one will not miss it.  But looks like it doesn't have much customers.  Though when we finally dined here on our last day in Subic (Sunday lunch)  there were other customers.

What I like about the place is its overlooking the water (its actually near the port).  You can choose between al fresco dining or air-conditioned.  We chose to dine outside to enjoy the cool breeze.

We were quite impressed on how the meals were served.  but we joked maybe that's the reason why it took awhile before they served our orders. (we waited around 15 to 20 mins).

I ordered Salisbury steak. Its good, though I wished I ordered something different since I am not into (burger type of meats). Next time I'll try to order their steaks.  I love their side dish. First time I tasted a side dish that's sweet and crispy. 

Rali's Grill and Bar is located along Malawaan Park Argonaut Highway, Subic Bay Freeport Zone. You'll pass by it if you are going in out of Forest View.  They also serve breakfast

MEAT PLUS CAFE

MEAT PLUS by its name you'd know it means - STEAKS.  If you are a meat lover, you don't wanna miss leaving Subic without dining in this resto since their steak meals are very reasonable.  They even have a refrigerator wherein it says "Choose your own steak. We'll cook it for you" - cooking charge is additional Php100.00

They also have combo meals that ranges from 145 to 200. Its inclusive of soup, side dish, rice/mashed potato and drink. 

I ordered the topsirloin steak and I was happy with my order :-).  I didn't expect I'll be able to finish the whole cut (well I shared a few bites to my colleagues for them to taste my order).  They cooked it nicely, just right even the sauce was just right.  I also like the Cheesecake. Though its quite hard to eat dessert if you just ate a big chunk of steak.  Definitely I'll go back and dine here the next time I visit Subic.

Meat Plus is located in Building 65, Sampson Road, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongap. Its beside Royal Subic Duty Free.  I also recommend you to go and shop in Royal Subic Duty Free
