[Foodtrip] Pepper Lunch

Last May 26, 2012, I had a girls' day out with my best friend. We spend the day catching up since a year has passed after we had time to bond. We decided to have our dinner at Pepper Lunch SM Megamall branch. We went in the store and lined up on the cashier. The staff was very accommodating and recommended us with their best sellers. We ordered Terriyaki Beef Pepper Rice with Egg (P285),  Beef Pepper Rice (P215) and added the bonus meal which includes drink and mashed potato (P60 per meal). After paying for our meal, we were assisted by a courteous staff to a reserved table.

Comments: 

• I love the taste of the terriyaki beef pepper rice, the flavor is rich, the beef is easy to chew and the rice smells and taste good.
• The mashed potato is soft and overflowing with gravy. It taste so delicious and comforting after a whole day of walking in the mall 
• The ambiance of the place is great for people who would like to bond over food
• The staff of pepper lunch are very polite and accommodating. I would like to congratulate them for doing a great job keeping the customers happy. I'm sure many customers would come back to the store. 

[Foodtrip] Adobo Connection

Eating out has been our form of bonding with our loveones. Around last week we ate at Adobo Connection Shaw Blvd Branch. At first I was excited to eat at the said restaurant since it was featured in the TV. My mouth was watering from thinking if it was worth the effort to go out of my way to eat there.

We ordered two meals, one was ginataang adobo and the other was Kuya's mixed fried adobo. These was part of the kanin all u can meals. The meals we ordered were more or less from 109-119 pesos.

The waiting time for the food just took 10-15 minutes. As the meals were serve, I was excited to take a bite.
The servings of each meal compose of 2 - 3 pieces of adobo made of chicken / pork.

Service: Great (crew was welcoming and accomodating)
Servings: unsatisfactory
Taste: it literary was ordinary "lutong bahay"
Price: P109-119
Will I come back to eat again?: no :(

Comments:

On the ginataang adobo, it would be better if  there were more servings, more ginataang sauce and additional labuyo to add spiciness to the meal.

On the kuya's mixed fried adobo, it would be better if there were more servings, if the adobo was marinated longer for the taste be absorb better by the meat.

I hope they improve their products, I felt it was a waste of effort to go out of my way to eat there and  the meals wasn't worth the money because of the servings and taste.
