REVIEW: The Roasters Lechon Baka (Pardo)

There are so many places I want to review, but I just haven’t had the time to sit down and write. Lately, I’ve been busy with my running and updating my 8-week, 5K Training almost every day after each run.

Anyway, my husband and I visited The Roasters on a Sunday morning after one of my runs. I WAS HUNGRY!

The Place: 6/10
It’s an outdoor setup, which was okay. However, the tables weren’t that clean (a bit dusty), but I guess that’s expected for this kind of setting.

The Service: 6/10
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a restaurant sets an opening time but doesn’t deliver. (Looking at you, Samgyup 31! Review coming soon!)
For The Roasters, they were technically open when we arrived at around 10:30 AM, but the rice wasn’t cooked yet. They ended up buying puso from another place just so we could eat. Honestly, the 5 stars are mainly for the kuya who went out of his way to get that puso for us. Thank you, kuya!

The Food: 7/10
At Php 310 per serving (good for 2-3 people), hats off to whoever came up with their rub recipe. IT IS YUMMMEEHHH! 

The dips were good! There were three: sweet soy sauce (chef's kiss!), vinegar, and gravy. The soy sauce was free, but we had to pay Php 10 for the other two.

The gravy was cold. It was weird dipping hot lechon baka into it. 

Our first order was a solid 10/10. But the second? Super overcooked. So tough that I struggled to chew it. Despite that, the flavor was so good that my husband and I just kept eating anyway.

My KYOT-KYOT!!!

Thanks for reading! 'Till next blog! 💛

Bottomless Pit

Here's everything I ate at Cafe BAI last weekend (got this bit from youtubers! hehe):

Indian cuisine is 💕!

So I had to have a second plato.. 😁

Patatim, Takoyaki, Shrimp Tempura are the stars of this plate.

I didn't like the Glazed Pork, and the Parmesan Cheese is too salty.

I wasn’t too fond of the Crepe. It likely sat on the counter for a while, and I should've asked for it to be freshly made. The pasta dishes were decent, though. Unfortunately, the pizza didn’t quite hit the mark. On the bright side, the Korean seafood was absolutely delicious! It was supposed to come with mussels alongside the shrimp, but I finished them before remembering to snap a picture.

Dessert is superb!

Anyway, this is probably half of what my husband ate! Hahaha! I’ll be blogging soon about my vacation with the family. I hope you’ll stay tuned for that. 'Til then! 💛
