The day after the most sought after wedding of my friend Pahm, my BF then now my ex BF and I were craving of a MAN food. Food that we can use our bare hands on. Food that are messy that we can suck and lick our fingers clean. Food that are so bad and naughty it is like an illicit affair. Foodgasm!
It is funny because we imagined our own wedding that night, we were sticking to a beach wedding with a light sexy bohemian theme- sob. We almost completed our entourage and sorted out our sponsors, so to all of our rich friends sorry you guys did not make the cut for the entourage, you guys are SPONSORS ok PRIMARY SPONSORS.
We started with Rub's Ultimate Fries -fries, bacon, pulled pork, jalapenos and cheese.
This came first instantly so we were delighted to have something to munch on while waiting. Taste was like BBQ trying hard Chili. Interesting yet pleasing. Not too BBQ-y, not too salty and a plus not too spicy -perfect.
We learned our lesson at Racks the week before this, we ordered a full slab EACH. So this time we ordered what the waiter recommended, singles.
Well this one looks sad but hey it was actually filling.
He ordered SINGLES -was this a sign God?, ribs+ one side+ rice serves one.
Ribs- not that tender, he used the knife provided and sporadically his hands like a cave man.
Rib sauce bbq- LOVE IT :)
Coleslaw- the taste was OK. The portion was a roll eyes, c'mon it was tiny.
Rice- your regular home cooked rice.
Mine was Chicken Cajun Pasta- chicken cajun+ white cream sauce+ linguine.
A bit disappointed and yet moderately pleased.
Bad points first:
-too much white cream sauce- look, it is basically a thick soup pasta.
-chicken cajun: dry poor chicken.
Good points:
It tasted good actually, aside from the over powering sauce. I say give it a try.
Look so much sauce.
If I can sauce so much as this pasta maybe my current BF wouldn't think I am dull in bed- There goes your appetite burf.
***SECOND VISIT***
It is normal for a girl to pamper her self after break up just to feel pretty and wanted.
After I bugged, begged and forced my mom to accompany me to spa we ended up driving all the way to Kapitolyo to continue on the pampering, this time pampering our taste buds.
Since it was just around 10:30 am, we decided to share SUPER DUO- ribs+ two sides served two.
Our sides were:
Sprice (spiced fried rice)- My mom doesn't want her rice with color and any thing chunky in it. So we ended up ordering separate regular steamed rice.
I am ok with it actually. Spices were delightful, rice were well cooked and not too oily for a fried rice it is nice. Hey that rhyme!
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potato- Not a hint of garlic so yes it a regular I-can-do-much-better-version-of mash-potato-at-home kind of mash potato. Good points were the portion and it was a bit chunky.
My mom has a healthy appetite so I ordered salad just in case.
BBQ Chicken Salad- lettuce+ bbq chicken tenders+ dressing+ veggies and crispy strips.
It's filling for sure but that is it. Lettuce was crisp, chicken tenders was dry- no surprise there, and the dressing was blah.
And to think that Super Duo serves 2. Rub Ribs my mom challenges your serving portions.
***THIRD VISIT***
Look baby remember this, you were in Cebu and my dad, my mom and I had our after Sunday's mass lunch here and I was chatting you the whole time. You said you wanna try this out when you get back home. Well we just broke up last night so I guess you wont be coming here with me. We drove pass this one time when we had our light dinner at Charlie's, you can see the Menu at the end of this blog so you can check it out before going there. I encourage you to dine here because I know you'll like it. Hopefully your new GF wont mind to get her hand dirty and to smell smoky BBQ after.
I miss you so much.
Family Brunch- ribs+ 3 sides serves 4
Our Sides:
Sprice (Rice with spices): same as my last review
Coleslaw: see tiny serving.
Bacon and Potato Salad: do you see any bacon bits there? neither did we. It was just big chunks of boiled potato with bacon something dressing, really really disappointing.
Shrimp and Cilantro Pasta shrimp+ garlic+ olive oil+ cilantro+ linguine
This was sad- like break ups you thought you made a right decision then boom it bites you straight to your face. There's nothing you can do but cry yourself to sleep, bury yourself in your bed the whole day, eat like a hungry lion, smoke and get drunk. Then after all that it wont make you feel anything less sad, in fact you'll feel the same, it hurts the same and you'll cry the same like it was just last night.
Wait, it was just last night. hahaha. I guess I have long way to go.
Almost forgot the pasta thing- again this pasta tasted like a rebound. Looks, sounds and you actually think its good for you but no.
Bad points:
Pasta was hard, chewy and tasted old.
Shrimp: over cooked
cilantro: I love cilantro but it did not save the pasta
Good Points:
Oily yummy oily garlic-y pasta

DON'T CRY BECAUSE IT IS OVER, SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED.
