I don't kow why I find it difficult to conform to regularity and routines. Can you believe that I can't even wake up at the same time in the morning? But, recently I've been learning from my seniors at work the art of appreciating the comforts of routine, regularity and familiarity. So when at Shangri-la Plaza, I reckoned to dine at the time-tested Kettle instead of other new food joints that I could try.
Ironically, what I expect to be ordinary turned out not so ordinary as I spotted two familiar groups having lunch there as well. Talk about coincidence!
Food
Salads
 |
| ♥ Smoked Salmon Salad (289 php) |
As a healthy portion of my meal, I ordered the Smoked Salmon Salad. I don't intend to elaborate on how I love greens and smoked salmon. Just finding out how I find eating salads like this is comforting is surprising enough for many.
Soups & Appetizers
 |
| Clam Chowder (259 php) |
Apart from salads, I love soups. Being easily cold, soups have always been something that brings me comfort. Among all cream-based soups, Clam Chowder is my second favorite. Kettle makes them hearty and flavorful just the way I like it.
Main Course
 |
| ♥ Buttermilk Fried Chicken (559 php) |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I never thought I'd like Buttermilk Fried Chicken before I encountered one from Kettle. I bet I'd come back even more just for it.

Let me as you have you been to RB CTY (Rib City)? In case you haven't heard about it, then let me tell you... they serve huge ribs for an unbelievable price!
They have two branches: Maginhawa and Pioneer Highlands North. The road to RB CTY Pioneer Highlands North is a bit tricky and there are not much sign to lead you to it.
But, google can be your friend in finding this hidden gem.
You'll find RB CTY as a laid back chill place.
I found it to be surprisingly spacious especially the al fresco area.
I love how they have building blocks to keep you occupied while you wait.
But, we were more enticed by their All You Can Eat Promo.
Food
Rib Blvd (with 1 drink, 1 CTY rice, 1 Side Eats)
Now let's get on with the food. Believe it or not, the Suburban is their smallest portion of ribs. This is twice the usual serving from other rib joints. This serves 1 but a petite lady can find this beyond satisfying. Aside from the soft part near the rack that almost falls of the bone, there's the sinful but delectably good amount of fats and a lean meaty part. Their very own classic barbecue sauce is a great blend of sweet and spiced. I can sense a hint of peanut butter in it too.
The drink that come with every meal is huge too. You can choose between lemon, red and green iced tea.
All You Can Eat Surf and Turf
My companion took on the All You Can Eat Surf and Turf. It comes with ribs, tempura, awesome wings, 1 side and 1 drink. The Ribs where as huge as the Suburban but stacked together. The Tempura is a mixed one with shrimp and sweet potato. The Awesome Wings were not so plump but the size was insignificant since you can refill anything you want from this plate. And for the price, that's quite a steal! How many ribs, tempura and wings do you think you can finish?
Sweet Trail
After such a heavy meal, we had an inkling for some sweet ender. The very rich and dense White Toblerone Cheesecake was just the right choice. Don't let the size fool you. I'm telling you just one biteful of this is enough to bring you to cream cheese heaven. That's how explosive the flavor of this treat is. I liked that the white toblerone sauce is not too sweet and harmonizes with the cream cheese well.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
If you're looking for a hefty rib meal that will surely fit your budget, then go to RB CTY. They also have group meals so better bring some company for more savings. Bottomline: This is where you go to get filled up with sulit rib meals especially when you're craving for meat and you're tired of the usual fast food joints.

Lemongrass has cute Asian lanterns. I'm surmising that the green color scheme is in compliance with its name. The seats are well-cushioned and comfortable for a delightful casual meal. The bar has a random mix Asian decors which added color and style to the place.
Starters
 |
| ♥ Lemongrass Minced Curry Chicken Cake (195 php) |
The Lemongrass Minced Curry Chicken Cake is crunchy on the outside with a moist soft chicken cake on the inside. The curry flavor was not overwhelming and it was complemented by coriander.
Soup and Noodle Soup
 |
| ♥ Ancient Chinese Sticky Misua Wet (260 php) |
The Ancient Chinese Sticky Misua has a lot of toppings. It was very flavorful and the texture is also great.
Chicken
 |
| Lemongrass Grilled Chicken with Soy (305 php) |
The Lemongrass Grilled Chicken with Soy is rich in flavor and is tender too!
Sorry, I forgot the name of this dish but it was also good.
Rice
 |
| Lemongrass Fried Rice (Good for 2) (230 php) |
The Lemongrass Fried Rice is similar to the Fookien fried rice with their own unique twist. It was good.
 |
| ♥ Thai Shrimp Pasta with Pork & Green Mango (Good For Two) (230 php) |
This is one of the best Thai Shrimp Pasta with Pork & Green Mango versions that I have ever tried! Perhaps because it had a lot of toppings such as nuts and onions, egg, green mango and seasoned pork.
Desserts
 |
| ♥ Thai Tago with Water Chestnuts |
Although the Thai Tago with Water Chestnuts looks no different from the rest we've tried, it was very flavorful! We all enjoyed this.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Lemongrass Asian Bistro is one of the best Authentic Asian restaurants around. Every dish we tried was simply delightful. The pricing is very reasonable. They also offer a wide range of variety. We will surely come back for more!
