KBQ

Hubby and I enrolled ourselves in a special fat loss program wherein we are required to eat veggies, meat, and carbs every meal. I admit, choosing a decent resto these days can be really challenging because there are very few (especially Filipino restos) that serve veggies aside from the usual pinakbet, chopsuey, and kangkong. I cannot blame them because very few people order vegetable dishes.

Ever since I got myself into this program, i drag the butts of my office lunch buddies to restos that serve “real” meals, instead of fast food restos that serve nothing but oil, junk, and what not. Today, we decided to dine in at Recipes by Cafe Metro.

What did we think about it?

We first thought that their food was cheap because their chopsuey meal costs only 135 but when we saw how small their serving was, we go so disappointed. We got more disappointed when we saw their their chopsuey looked anything but that  . There was no liver, no broccoli, no cauliflower; instead, we saw loads of bean sprouts or mongo shoot (toge) or whatever you call it. Gosh, it tasted like the sauted bean sprouts, often served in Tokyo Tokyo as side dish. It tasted NOTHING like chopseuy.

We also ordered Bistek Tagalog and even though I cannot complain on the beef selection (soft and thinly sliced), I can’t help but think about Tokyo Tokyo’s Beef Misono when I tasted it . Again, super small serving, it can barely feed 2 people.

Because the food barely escaped reached our tummies, we ordered another dish that looked soo tempting on their menu.

In reality, the dish was served to us like this – parang halo halo lang.

In fairness, the lechon tasted okay, but the kangkong tasted like kangkong with plain soy sauce period. It took forever to arrive, we even had to follow up on it because they apparently forgot to process our additional order. tsk 

To make things worst, the waiters were so distracted, unattentive, and snob. I mean gaaashh, it seemed like we owe them for eating there. I promised to avoid negative vibes but this is just annoying!

We paid for the bill with heavy burden in our hearts

An 8.9% service charge for such an awful service.  Never again!
