Ribeye Steak

at Steakhouse

-Malate, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines-

Steakhouse – not The Steakhouse, just Steakhouse – is an American restaurant.  Emphasis on steak.

In the wake of last night’s plant feast, I felt an irresistible urge to gorge on land mammal today.  So I went to Steakhouse, which I’d been meaning to try.

The food was okay.   The steak had decent beef flavor.  But grilled (as opposed to pan-fried), and thin, it lacked proper texture.  Though stated as 350 grams on the menu, the cut was suspiciously light.  Overall, a major rip-off at 1,290 pesos, even with the sides and soup and all-u-can-eat salad bar.  At least I got my meat fix.
