RANT BLOG 2 : RECIPE

and again.. here's another blog of undesirable circumstances..

i'm not sure which is worst, this blog or the other blog. 

so me and my friend Jessica went to Robinsons Manila, she wanted me to go with her to buy groceries and so i did. 

i haven't taken my lunch yet and i wanted to eat in a restaurant that i haven't tried for a long time or haven't tried at all. 

Jessica said that there are delicious menu from Recipe, why don't we give it a try. There was something that I really don't like about that resto for some reason. If you're outside and you take a look at that resto, it is too boring, it was too gloomy for me. 

As we got in the restaurant, they were able to greet us properly, but was not able to assist us in getting a sit. there were no smile on any of their faces. They were snobbish! I don't know if it's about how we looked at that time, or what! It was a sunday and I was too lazy to dress up and be pretty. So i wear my leggings and a normal shirt without any makeup on and it was just simple. Those crew were like staring from head to foot like non-stop. They were looking at us like they were wondering "anong ginagawa ng mga tao dito mukha namang walang pera." that's how i see it. Judging by the way YOU GUYS STARE AT US!

The place was not very clean. It still had dust at the side, there were unnecessary stuff that were put on the side which is unattractive. In every restaurant there's a bussing station or the part where the orders come out, what they have is like a very long and short height window and it was really boring and it was really a wreck.

Why are there people like that? Why are you being judgmental, don't you guys have any manners? Stereotyping is BAD~! And I hate it! you guys are not fit to be servers. 

Recipe is sort of a Filipino type of restaurant, based on the menu that they gave us most of it is Filipino dishes. Their house specialties are Kare Kare, Gising Gising, Crispy Tilapia, Lechon Kawali and many more. We just wanted to end the hunger that we were feeling at that time. 

So here where the tragedy starts..

Our server,who was unfriendly, lazy and worst server of all time, was not able to provide us any description of the food or any or those stuff. After ordering, he was not able to repeat our orders and make sure he got it correctly. HE was the worst server!

What did we have?

GisingGising - It is chopped beans with coconut milk. It was not over cooked. I really liked this dish. I would order another one. Presentation wise. Not really good. It came out in a bowl like you were eating in a canteen.

Lechon Kawali - I AM A MEAT LOVER! I LOVE MEAT! THERE'S A REASON WHY I TITLED MYSELF AS A FAT GIRL! THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST LECHON KAWALI I'VE EVER TASTED. IT CAME WITH A SWAMP CABBAGE OR KANGKONG. THE LEAVES TASTED SAND. IT WAS LIKE SPOILED. I ATE ONE SLICE OF PORK AND THEN THERE IT WAS! THE FREAKING INSECT! NOT ONLY DID THE PLACE WAS UNCLEANED THERE WERE TINY ROACHES THAT WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE CHAIRS/ SOFAS, THERE WAS A WEIRD INSECT IN MY FOOD! AN INSECT! IT WAS VERY TINY BUT IT WAS DISGUSTING! WE ASKED ONE SERVER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LECHON KAWALI. AND SHE SAW IT TOO! SHE ASKED TO CHANGE THE ORDER BUT WE DECIDED TO GET A DISH. WE LET IT PASS! NOW AFTER CHANGING THE MENU, THOSE PEOPLE AT THE KITCHEN STARTED STARING AT US! LIKE "napaka arte naman nitong mga babaeng ito! nakita pa un?" IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY/BUSINESS, WE ARE TRAINED TO SERVE FOOD CLEAN! PUT THAT IN YOUR HEAD SIR! BEFORE EVEN GIVING/SERVING THE FOOD, CHECK IT! GOT THAT? GEEZ! HAVE RESPECT! NANGLALASON BA KAYO?

Crispy Tilapia - It was crunchy, crispy and delicious! good come back. I like their intake on this dish. it is very easy to eat, no need to use your hands to eat it. I'd order another one! Very good dish!

Servers were murmuring which is very rude. As soon as they see me staring at them, their mouth/lips starts to murmur. Not a good and liable servers. MAGRESIGN NA KAYO! 

If the leaders/ managers of the RECIPE Restaurants reads this blog, It would be good , so that they know what the people under them are doing in their restaurant. Recipe can do so much more. I hope this will serve as a lesson to all of them!

Make it count! LEARN and SERVE WELL!
