Burgoo

Burgoo

3/L Powerplant Mall,
Rockwell Center,
Makati City
898.18.15 to 17

One of the restaurants with the “Friday’s” feel to it. Been here with Chuck before. Instead of watching a movie, we decided to eat instead. Most recent visit was awhile ago with officemates during our lunch break for the IMMAP seminar in Rockwell Cinemas. We were given a list of participating restaurants that we can claim our lunch worth P400 from and they include Crustacia, C2, Astralis, Coffee Bean, Cucina Victoria, Elbert’s Cheesesteak Sandwiches, Sango, Kaya Express, Kulinarya, Oliver’s, Pepper Lunch, Oyster Bar, and Zaifu. Our top three picks were Burgoo, Zaifu, and Cucina Victoria. For today, we went with Burgoo. Parking isn’t a problem since this is situated inside Rockwell mall.
On both visits, it was hard for me and my company to choose what to eat because they have a lot of good choices in their menu. Below is a compilation of the two separate occasions that I've eaten in Burgoo.

For starters, We've tried the Taco Salad - a combination of crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, ranch dressing, taco meat sauce, green onions, salsa and cheddar cheese served in edible taco bowl. I find the "plating" very clever - something new. Taste is awesome and serving is good for two already considering this will be your appetizer. For P295, this is worth it.


Another salad dish we tasted is the Seafood Caesar Supreme - traditional Caesar salad topped with friend calamari, grilled shrimps, crabmeat and parmesan cheese. A great twist to the normal and we believe the most ordered salad in the Philippines. Toppings added extra flavor to the dish which makes it great for a P325 dish.


Now on to the main dishes. First is the Fish and Chips - Fresh cream dory, seasoned and deep fried. Served with French fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. Good dish. Nothing new though. I do not know if I will commend the softness of the dory or not - it's hard to eat because it disintegrates easily. Anyway, it's fish and chips with the traditional tartar sauce. Given the price of P375, we recommend trying other dishes instead.


For pasta, we tried the Chicken Diane - Tender and juicy grilled chicken fillet, served with garlic spaghetti on a pool of creamy Diane sauce. If you want a healthier option in pasta, we believe this is the way to go. The chicken is soooo good even though it's just grilled. Lotsa flavor. :) Spaghetti and the Diance sauce complements it well. P345.


What's pasta without pizza? Pizza Sampler - Combination of four different pizza flavors of your choice for only P395. We chose Margherita, Pepperoni, Taco, and Meatza. All we can say is BUURRRRP! Cheers to this resto for their great tasting pizzas. :)


Only tried Sarsi float and Lemonade here because every time we eat, we never have room for drinks. Sooooo full of food.


Had photo taken with officemates, Luanne and Jheric. :) 


Verdict:
- For all occasions type of restaurant. Kids will mostly enjoy eating here since they can draw on the table paper mat thing. Actually even us adults enjoy drawing with crayons.
- Expect prices to range from P300-P600 depending on the serving size you want.
- Service is a bit slow on both visits. They can improve on this. Staff were friendly though.
- Will probably come back during a special occasion? Lots more restaurants to write reviews on! :p
