Dining at Eat and Go

picture from pinoypalaboy
August 28:  Last night (August 27, 2011) I had an ordinary dinner in one of the restaurants in SM Megamall. The setting was at "Eat and Go". They have this vegas style place located at the third level of Mega Atrium. Easy to locate since they are situated near the escalator. So here's what i think...I'm gonna start with the server; she was polite and accomodating. I hate loud-mouth servers, good thing she's not. They have a wide variety of menu from pasta , sandwiches, salad, etc. and reasonable prices so I didn't exactly know what to order. After a little what-to-eat-talk with my wifey and a recommendation from the server we had our orders.

For our main entree we had:

Chicken Saltimbocca
Oven-baked chicken fillet stuffed with ham and cheese. With Saltimbocca sauce, roasted pepper rice,and red sauce pasta.
Price: 175.00

Pork Tenderloin
Pan-seared pork tenderloin slices with brown gravy, roasted pepper rice, and spagehtti marinara.
Price: 175.00

We went for simple dishes because we were so hungry that time we want good food fast!=P. We also have to taste one of there best sellers which is the London pies recommended by the crew. So we ordered:

Just Steak
Tender steak and potatoes, with gravy.
Price: 75.00

Chicken and Ham
Slices of chicken, ham and potatoes, with gravy
Price: 75.00

Just Steak
It didn't take long, 15 to 30 minutes and our food was ready, right temperature and all. First taste of our entrees was shocking..mine was Chicken Saltimbocca, the rice was bland! pasta was not that good and chicken was HARD and bland. Disappointing...I could use salt and pepper with my food "what the heck is this??". Then I asked my wife if her order was okay. We have the same comment for the rice, her marinara was horrific! surprisingly the tenderloin slices were good. Lucky she got something that would ease her taste buds. The pan-seared pork tenderloin slices cooked well with brown gravy were easy to chew and melts in your mouth. The tasty juice of the meat filled my mouth as I chew it. Indeed! it was delicious. Next are the London pies that we ordered, I didnt want to get back to my terrible order of chicken, I went straight to the pie. As we sliced the pie with our fork a thick sauce run down through the soft bread and hot vapor rises from the inside, first taste..we both smiled..alas! it was good..it was very good! We should have ordered four pies and forget the main entrees..the natural flavor of the tender steak as well as the chicken and ham were brought out with just the right consistency and taste..Now we know what to order if ever we return to this restaurant. I didn't have a good experience on the main entree though =( What I can only say now is ...the pie was good!;)

RATING:
3/5 ★★★
