Sizzling Express — Restaurant in Mandaluyong

This place was first introduced to me about 2 months ago. I remember the first thing I bought - T-Bone steak. It was above average, not great, but not bad either. The second time I ate here, I tried the pork sirloin, and it has been the staple I eat here. The gravy alone is great. It was not until the third time I ate here that I discovered the free soup - and oh my goodness! It's something else - one of the best free soup I've ever tasted in my life (so far). They have free condiments. Of course, I always take things in moderation so as to not dilute my experience with the meals. My overall experience has not been all love and roses. The last time I ate here, which was around April 22, 2017 - around lunch time. The first time I tried their Lomi was a very horrible experience. Really, really bad. The free soup was too salty. That alone was an indicator that the other meals were going to be bad. The person that I was with that day chose the pork sirloin - had me taste it, and it was awful. Tasteless. The pork was also undercooked and it was like eating gum. Now my Lomi was also bad. It was not as thick and gooey as I expected (from the last time I saw someone eat it). The carrots were undercooked and were crunchy - I am not a rabbit, I want my food cooked well done. The Lomi noodles insides were raw and were hard on the inside soft on the outside. So after the meal, I spoke with the attendant. He mentioned that the original cook was on leave and the person cooking was only a temporary replacement. So I personally forgave them that day. While the person and I were walking back, they pointed out that the cook did not have a hairnet. Oh well. I was unable to call that out, but I do hope they improve on that. Overall, my experience was above average - 4 stars. Once I eat here again, I hope the service...

This is the second time I ate in this place. They added a couple of new items on their menu which are really affordable and tasty. They also converted their garage as another dining area to accommodate more customers. Good points prices are still affordable from my last visit 2 years ago. Wait time is reasonable about 10_15 minutes. Their gravy is taste good. Opportunities most of the food that we ordered are a bit salty. My quarter pounder is a bit burned on the sides. Maybe they can add lettuce but it's just 85pesos not that bad. Nachos is like crackers that you buy in sari sari store but I guess its OK since it's just 60pesos. I hope they have a parking pass to prevent towing since this resto is along boni hi way. Good thing I always eat here on week ends. For an amount of 480 pesos my family is satisfied...

Last night was too rainy and we were so hungry that my husband and I decided to eat on the first food house we saw. It was either here or Sgt. Zeg Burgers. Since we already ate at Sgt. Zeg, we chose this place. I ordered the cheesy sausage while my husband got (as usual) the tapsilog. Both of us had bottomless red iced tea. There's a condiments area where there are generous servings of gravy and soup. The bathroom is conveniently hidden near the stairwell. Food is just borderline above average but nothing really special. I wish the veggie servings are more. Place is a bit big and not that crowded. Service crew are pretty fast so even without telling them I wanted a refill, they were right beside me filling up the glass. Price is reasonable for the food. Will...
