Get Rack-ed with Rack's Classic Pork Ribs

Since I'm on my way doing a real foodie-blog, maybe it's time for me to make another one.


Maybe it was last, last, last week. And I had the best pork ribs of my life. And I found it at Rack's.

To make it clear, it was lunch time and I was about to meet an old friend of mine. Since I'm working at Ortigas, he made it clear to me that we should meet along Ortigas. Since I'm not really fond of knowing all the good eating hubs in Ortigas, I told him to meet me at Racks El Pueblo, Ortigas. It's along Julia Vargas avenue.


So, why Racks?

Yeah, I told you. I have no idea on where to dine. One time, I was walking my way from our office (in Tycoon bldg) going to SM Megamall, I saw a big signage that says RACKS. I'm so curious, 'cause I'm not really particular with restaurants. I only knew few, and most of them are Filipino restaurants. I also knew few foreign restaurants like the famous Friday's (at Trinoma, where I ate a giant rib also, that was back in 2009, a friend's treat for my birthday, hahah), Italianni's (also at Trinoma) and some (I don't want to name more, I don't want this article to be a promo ad for most foreign restaurants, hoho).

I told him, let's just meet at RACKS. It's near my office, so that would be convenient on my part. So that's it.

When we were there, I had Rack's Classic Pork ribs together with gravy fries for the side dish. My old friend had their special Roasted Quarter Chicken along with corn on the cob and a bowl of corn soup for side dish. (He had a lot side dishes with him, I know that's gross haha).

As I mentioned earlier, it was the best among the best pork ribs that I've ever tasted. It's much better than Friday's baby back ribs. You can really slice it just using your spoon and fork. Yep. It's so tender. Oh it's really mouth-watering. Darn.

And about its taste, it's very delicious. My friend even told me that maybe it's full of MSG. Cause it's really extremely delicious. Too delicious for pork ribs, I think.

But I think it's just the way RACK's prepare their ribs. Awesome! I was able to finish my lunch in such a small time. I tried to forget my table manners so I can dearly enjoy my food.

Take note, I didn't have sauce for the ribs. I just ate it as it was served to me. No spicy sauce or anything. But I had gravy fries with me that time. So I tried to play the taste by tossing some meat on the gravy. And I found it very delicious. Maybe they should have gravy for its sauce. hahah. I even alternated rice with fries. So delicious, yummy!

Their rice was really awesome. It's like Jasmine rice. But no scent. The taste indicates that it's jasmine rice so maybe it is Jasmine. And like any other good rice, it's also delicious that you can eat just with a spoon of gravy. Haha. Very experimental of me.

All I had for drinks was a glass of water. I didn't bother to order Iced tea or softdrinks. I just wanted to savor the food, not the drinks. Ehem.

I don't know about the chicken that my friend ordered. But he told me that it was also delicious, and it's like melting in his mouth. So, maybe the feeling was just mutual.

Ah yes, it was very cheap. Mine was about Php295.00 I don't know if Racks has table charge but I'm pretty sure they just rely on tips.

Will I recommend Racks?

Yes, of course. They have the best ribs. Their service's great too. So if you're looking for rib-serving resto, try Racks and their Classic Pork ribs. Don't forget that it's very cheap too.

I just ate salad from KFC, Garden d'Lite Salad in Asian Dressing

Yes, you read it right folks. I just ate a bowl of salad from KFC. It's the Garden d'Lite Salad in Asian dressing.



Its taste was so good and awesome. After finishing my bowl, I thought of getting another one. But of course, money-wise, and diet-conscious, I need nothing but to stop myself from craving for another one.



About its taste, just like the usual taste of Asian salad dressing, it's sour and somehow spicy. I really like spicy foods so I think this one is a must-try. Also, I think I can smell the scent of egg yolk from it. It's like the dressing comes alive to your taste buds. Excellent! Really mouth-watering!



And about the vegetables, it has fresh, crispy and crunchy lettuce leaves together with several slices of tomatoes and what do you call this one? Uhm, cold and hard bread? Ha-ha. I'm not sure about it. It tastes like bread. So I think it's a bread. But if you think, it's not, kindly share it to me through posting comments. :)



Really, it has few ingredients in it. But what can you ask from so-cheap price? It only costs for Php 45.00. Very cheap, right? But I found out from my dear friend Google that KFC's Garden d'Lite has different versions in other countries. Maybe it depends upon the country. In Malaysia, their own version of it has lettuce leaves,sliced tomatoes, shredded carrots, corn kernels and cucumber sticks. I don't have any idea on how much is it in Malaysia but I'm pretty sure it's much expensive, 'cause it has a lot of veggies in it.



Oh wait, I found it. I found a price list from a KFC's website in Malaysia, and it says it costs around 5 MR (Malaysian currency). So I converted it and found out that it costs around Php 70.00. Oh, but let me clear this one. Malaysian version of KFC Garden d'Lite has also chicken popcorns (it's like the chicken in Snackbox, either Funshots or Hotshots). So it's clear that Malaysian's KFC Garden d'Lite is much cheaper than what is here in the Philippines.



I would also like to try KFC's Chicken Salad. It's the same with Garden d'Lite but it has more veggies and has chicken popcorns. And it's around Php 95.00. I'm planning to buy it next week, if my budget would allow me to do so. haha.



Oh, I almost forgot. No pictures of it for today, but I'll try to upload if I got the chance to buy it again. I never expected that I'm going to write a food review about it, so after I bought it, I really consumed it easily and fastly, and I never took pictures of it. It's just that when I got full and then I realized I want to make a review for it. Hahaha.



Anyway, it's very healthy and delicious, so I think you should try it too. It's not just very healthy, it can also make you save from gaining weight. Aha! It's cheap so get one now.-Kneesaa, 19.
