I like their food, though not that super spectacular, but decent enough for another visit.

Our food.

Fried Chicken, so yummy.

The effeminate waiter confidently poses before my Nikon D40. Hahaha..

Here he is again.

I was in my adventurous self again. I went out walking along C. Raymundo in Pasig City to look for a new place to eat. It was just near from where i live though. Then i found an unknown pizza outlet named, 5th Avenue.

I only brought about 130 pesos in my pocket. I thought that amount was enough in this unknown pizza outlet. But when i looked at the prices. Oh, no. Anyway, i chose the food that was below 100 pesos. It was Crispy BBQ Fish Fillet, its a piadinas. Piadinas is an Italian origin flatbread. The appearance is like the Mexican taco. I brought the food home.

When I took my first bite, it was WOW. I really like the taste! The 95 peso price was worth it.

5th Avenue is Filipino owned. It is a New York inspired pizza company, just like the more popular Yellow Cab pizza.

Although, i’m not exactly a pork lover, i find it dirty in my opinion. Adobo Republic makes it up for me. The dish i ate from was soo tasty, i think it was the Hot and Spicy pork, cost 120 a meal, albeit no drinks included yet. And to add, i only eat half a cup of rice in my every meal, but i ate it all. It was that good.

And yeah, their customer service is good too. I recommend Adobo Republic!

I was at their Claro M. Recto Avenue branch, just few meters from University of the East.

To beat the summer is by spending inside air conditioned malls such as SM. I was roaming around, looking for an unconquered place, thus i found the not so crowded coffee corner named The Tea Republic.

They also offer shakes, coffee, pastries, cakes. I ordered a shake, they called it Republique Red Currant.

When my shake was served, there was no tissue. It was a minus in my opinion. So i just continued reading the magazine that i brought. After more than hour, i decided to go home. I was about ten meters away from the Tea Republic when their male attendant ran after me, and asked me, “Sir, nakapagbayad na po ba kayo?”

I was annoyed, “May receipt do’n sa table.” So i walked back and went to the table and took the receipt. I threw the receipt to him. I got guilty after doing that though, hehe..

I was annoyed not because i was insulted, i did not feel insulted at all, but because of their sloppy customer service i was getting. No tissue provided, and they could not manage their billings well.

And yeah, their 130 peso Republique Red Currant, tasted ordinary. Not distinct. Negligible.

Finger Lickin’ Good at Bacolod Chicken Inasal. A Bad Experience.

Why finger lickin good?

Please read on why…

Last December 1, after our football team won our third match. We went straight to Greenhills Shopping Center to somehow celebrate that victory.

The group decided that we eat at Bacolod Chicken Inasal. Bacolod Chicken is at located at the G-Strip, right in front of Greenhills Shopping Center, in the parking lot.

My team mates and club mates ordered their own meals, and I myself ordered Lumpia, forgot the exact price, but I believe it was less than 100 pesos. I chose lumpia because it was cheaper.

We waited for more than 20 minutes for the meals to arrive in our table, until I heard something that I find it hard to believe. “Sir, sorry po, wala na pong lumpia.” (Sorry sir, there are no more lumpia). I tried to control myself, and I did. In my mind I was saying: “What?!! I waited for more than 20 minutes for my food, only to be told that there are no more lumpia!”

I thought that the lumpia was given to another customer, perhaps a friend of theirs or a celebrity that happened to eat at Bacolod Chicken Inasal.

I just asked their manager if he could allow to bring in food from outside. He nodded and apologized. So I ran to Kentucky Fried Chicken and bought a Box Snack Meal or something like that.

Some food establishments give freebies to their customers if the former mess up their service. I was not given, even a free drink. I even paid for their cold coffee with a bland flavor.

Have you experienced something similar that I’ve had with Bacolod Chicken Inasal?
