Tony Roma's: Best Ribs in Town! :)

It's already a tradition for Gerard and I to go to Tony Roma's ATC during our birthdays... it is our special restaurant.. (our normal restaurant is Italiannis.. by the way)

Anyway, for us, Tony Roma's has the best ribs in town!

It is like Racks because the meat falls off the bone... but it's better because it is more leaner and more flavorful... mmmm....yummy! :)

So of course, since we are just two, we decided to get the BBQ Chicken and Ribs Combo. It comes with a soup of your choice and 2 side dishes.

Now allow me to be a restaurant critic as I try to evaluate each item, one by one...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert on this, everything is just based on my personal opinion, I am not in anyway an endorser of the said restaurant.

Food:

1) Bread -- this is also one of the reasons why we keep on coming back... it's was served warm, crunchy on the outside, so soft in the inside... went well with the herbed butter spread...

2) Soup -- I was presented with 2 choices -- baked potato soup and pumpkin soup... I chose pumpkin soup... taste was okay... It was like a pumpkin puree...similar to the Gerber baby food...
I must say, nothing beats the pumpkin soup at Cibo... 


3)  BBQ Chicken and Ribs Combo -- Ribs - as mentioned above, it was the best! BBQ chicken-- I was so happy that it was okay to change to breast part since it is the only part that I eat in a chicken. But since we ordered breast part which is expected to be bland... I asked for additional barbeque sauce. They gave me the sauce immediately but I think what they provided is the one that they actually used for basting and cooking. Oh well, at least they gave me what I want...


4) Side dishes -- We chose baked potato topped with bacon bits and french fries...  it is usual and met our expectations.

5) Walnut Fudge Brownie with vanilla ice cream on top -- Since it is my birthday, they treated us with this free dessert. Though I don't eat walnuts.. of course I can't complain because it's just free! But I must say the fudge brownie was so chewy... love it! :)

Service:

I don't know if the people are just tired because it is already late... the manager who took our order was not that friendly. But in fairness to the other staff, they gave in to our several special requests... :)

Ambiance:


The couch was so comfy.. and the place is really perfect for dates.


Toilet:


This is one of my complaints... they should have their private bathroom/washroom. Guests are requested to use the public toilet outside the restaurant. They also failed to provide wet wipes or wet towels after the meal.


Price:


The price is reasonable. I suggest the combos because the serving size is already good for 2-3 persons. The BBQ Chicken and Ribs Combo costs Php 890.The usual iced tea is a bit pricey because it costs 110 pesos.

Overall Rating:

We will still keep on coming back to Tony Roma's for our birthdays! :) Thumbs up! :)

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

My labor story

Image
I know my due date is already near that is why we have been preparing for the big event. We prepared her room already. I have made the necessary arrangements at work. I already got the approval to work from home from December 17 onwards or until I give birth. After all my due date is still on the 31 st . I have drafted my birth plan and just for final approval from my OB. There are just some more things to pack in the diaper bag and our own hospital bag. Bottomline, to some extent, we were ready. Though, at the back of my mind, I really want to give birth on December 18. If you ask me why on the 18 th simply because it is my favorite number. But God has really prepared a plan for each one of us. It may not be the same as our plan, but definitely it is the BEST. On my 37 th week, in the early morning of December 12, 2011, I felt something weird inside. It was like a ‘twitch’ in my side. I got up and went to our bathroom. I saw blood in my pee. At that instant, I realized ...
