Racks Food!!!

this restaurant is very nice, a cozy place which my girlfriend and i loves to go and eat!

my favorite is the Onion Bricks which they serve in a plate, the onion bricks is like onion rings but it is so crispy and so the name.
the Onion Brick is best with the Rack's Sauce...

i dont know what is the recipe of the Sauce, the sauce was so terrific, it makes your taste buds go nuts.

we always order as a main dish the chicken. i forgot the prefix of the food, because it is so good you will forget your name.

the food is cheap for me and my girlfriend, i remember that we ate and ate, and when we got our bill its just for 700.00 pesos.

the Food was Great, the Price is Great, the place is Great.
what could you ask for.

our favorite

Rack's Steak House Place is at the SM mall of asia.

good times!

ahh first entry of food-beverage-dessert

this Blog is for the Food, Beverage and Restaurant enthusiast!!!

thats me!!!

i like to eat and eat and eat or drink and drink and drink and spend my money with my girlfriend to foods that's GOOD!

foods are the most basic essential for a person. because without food you can never do your daily activities..

Hunger signals the body to eat!!

beverages are like foods. the big difference is that beverages are drinks or liquids(*acids) which is needed by the body to function very well.

Thirst signals the body to drink!!!

desserts are sugarry substance which fullfills the sinful of sin! for the dieting person...
because this is a luxury out of the two mentioned above. this is the most awaited part of the meal for the persons with a sweet tooth.
e.g ice cream, cakes, muffins, brownies and etc.

nothing signals this! but i know youll like it!!!
