Johnny Rockets @ Eastwood

Since we have been in Johnny Rockets numerous times already, this post will feature a compilation of some (if not everything) we have tried in this place.

"HI GUYS!" This is how you will be greeted once you get in this restaurant in Eastwood. It really feels like an American diner inside specially with the jukebox in display. This place is also known for their dancing waiters/waitresses who are very friendly by the way.

During our latest visit in Johnny Rockets, Geraldine tried this burger steak meal. She told me that it tastes good. The burger patty is tender and juicy. It was really tasty. However, it would be nice if there were more sauce/gravy on it and a larger serving. As you can see in the picture below, there were a lot of spaces on the plate. The side dish (corn and carrots) and the onion rings (on top of the rice) taste good but the serving was small. Overall, Geraldine really liked it. Therefore, this dish is a CRAVE HIT!

I  went for a burger and tried the Roast Beef burger, I added 75 pesos to have UNLI FRIES!!!! The burger tasted like the pinoy bistek (beef steak) only this one has mayonnaise and is sandwiched by two burger buns. There wasn't anything special. Aside from that, the beef was really difficult to cut and oil was dripping while I was slicing. I know burgers are oily but I do not think that it was supposed to be THAT oily. This is a MISS. I recommend trying the more expensive burgers on their menu.

However, I enjoyed the Unli Fries! I am a big fan of fries. You might find this weird but I love soggy fries. I know most people enjoy the crispy ones but I am weird. So everytime I eat fries I take my time to choose the soft ones and whoever I am with enjoys the crispy fries. Anyway, I think anyone would say that these fries are a HIT.

I really liked the Strawberry Milkshake. I suggest you try Johnny Rocket's Milkshakes! It's not too sweet. You can really taste the strawberry flavor. I loved every sip I made. So yummy! This is a HIT!

During our first visit, Geraldine ordered Bacon Cheddar Single while I ordered Route 66. Both seemed so appetizing the way they were described in the menu.

The Bacon Cheddar Single did not disappoint. Geraldine loved everything about it except for the big chunk of onion (because she is an onion hater). The bacon was crispy, just like how it should be enjoyed. This burger is a CRAVE HIT!

The first time we ate at JR, I tried Route 66. This is really expensive but worth every penny you spend. It has everything I love in a burger: the patty, onions and cheese. I highly recommend this one. I do not even have to explain any further. All I can say is that this is a CRAVE HIT!!!!

Route 66 - CRAVEHITS RECOMMENDED!

Johnny Rockets' meals are delicious. However we recommend that if you are going to have unlimited fries and there is only two of you who are both girls, just order one meal. You will not be able to enjoy the unlimited fries because the burger will occupy a large chunk of your stomach. Or you can just get the burgers for take out. 

Finally once you step out of the establishment the waiters will bid you goodbye: "BYE GUYS!!" They do not only serve awesome food but they are very customer oriented. Great place to dine in :)

P.S.

This particular branch also has a very clean restroom. VERY CLEAN. Another plus for JR Eastwood!

After we had our dinner in The Red Crab we looked for some place else to eat dessert. We checked lots of places: Red Crab itself, Old Vine, Tokyo Cafe. Sadly, no matter where we went whatever we wanted to order was not available. Finally we decided to try something new so we went to Sophie's Mom. This place is known for their signature Red Velvet Cupcakes which are absolutely amazing.

The interior of this place had a very homey feel. Surely felt like a mom arranged everything. The colors, the furniture everything looked like a very caring mom had done it.

Geraldine was so fond of the place that we decided we were going to eat there without even looking at what was available. Sadly they had very limited cakes available per slice that night. Since SM's cupcakes are already tried and tested we agreed that we were going to try their chocolate cake.

It was a moist chocolate cake that was enough for two people to consume. What was cute about this cake is that it had a cheesecake filling that was shaped like a heart. It was good but not special. We did not finish the cake. Maybe because we were still full from our heavy dinner or because it was too chocolatey for us. Chocolate lovers will be really happy with this though.

Sophie's Mom is a great place to get your daily dose of sweets. Sadly that day we were already too late for the party and there were very limited choices. However, we will surely go back. Who wouldn't?

After all this place truly exudes the #happyplace vibe.

The Red Crab: Alimango House @ Venice Piazza, Taguig

For our first visit together in Venice Piazza we went to The Red Crab for dinner. We were thinking if we will choose Old Vine, Amici or this one. Finally we picked the place that would satisfy our cravings for seafood. :)

Once inside I instantly noticed how the place looked like a gallery. There was even a mural full of sea creatures  on the far end wall which bore the lyrics of a famous Filipino children's song about crabs.

Tong, tong, tong, tong, pakitong-kitong, alimango, sa dagat, malaki at masarap, mahirap mahuli sapagkat nangangagat..

We ordered a set meal good for 3-4 persons. It already has rice, crab, squid, chicken, tilapia, okra, talong and itlog na pula. It also comes with a pitcher of iced tea all for Php1,088 pesos only. The major disappointment for us is the absence of prawns in the mix.

So this was our dinner for that day. In the menu it said that it was good for 3-4 pax but I am pretty sure that it is not because we ate everything (we are both girls) except for the chicken. They had thrown a very generous serving of rice which is for sure good for 3-4 people but the seafood was just enough for the two of us. Despite this, we actually find their seafood yummy!!! Everything was grilled to perfection and their rice was also good specially with strips of green mango and onions on the side. This is definitely a HIT!!!

It may look disgusting to you but this is our proof that this set meal is not good for 3-4 people. We almost emptied the bilao if not for the rice, chicken and talong.
