The Aristocrat Restaurant - S&R Shaw — Restaurant in Mandaluyong

The restaurant is located inside the compound of S&R Shaw. Because I recently had congee delivered from Aristocrat the other day but I felt I did not have the complete the Aristocrat experience. So, I decided to eat at the restaurant the other day, since I just came from an errand near the area. I ordered fresh lumpiang ubod, arroz con caldo and for dessert, I had a small leche flan. It took some time for my order to be served (around 20 minutes) but it was a good thing I was hungry and craving for lumpia and congee. I also was not able to take pictures because I was too hungry. Sorry about that. The fresh lumpiang ubod is so fresh and very light. The sauce was more than enough but I could have asked for more (but I stopped myself). When the arroz con caldo was served, I thought it was not enough but it was hot (caldo), well cooked, and very filling. The small leche flan was also good but toooo sweet which is what its supposed to be. A small was enough for me, any more than the “small” would have been tooooo much. The four stars would be because of what I noticed at the restaurant. I was seated near the area where they put the used dishes, a small window actually. Somehow a squirt of water came out from inside and water fell on the floor and since the waiters pass there allll the time, and they were not minding the wet floor. After a few minutes, that area got so diiiiirty. Not nice. Oh well. Hopefully, no one got injured. By the way, you can have them validate you...

It brings back childhood memories whenever I eat at Aristocrat. We usually have family gathering at their Manila branch when we were younger. Anyway, my friend and I were waiting for her sister and boyfriend to finish their grocery. We decided to have lunch cause boy we were hungry. This branch is located at S&R, it is the first time I've encountered an S&R branch with outside food establishments.

For starters, I had adobo sandwich (Php 100) it had bits of pork adobo inside. A bit messy to it but a nice snack or in our case appetizer. Then for my mains, Chicken Barbecue Meal (Php 210) 3 pieces bbq chicken. Of course you shouldn't forget the Java Sauce.

We were full and for sure our hunger...

I recently dined at the Aristocrat Restaurant, a well-known Filipino establishment in Manila, and I have to say that it was a truly memorable experience. The restaurant has a long history in the city, and it's easy to see why it has remained a popular dining destination for so many years.

The food at the Aristocrat Restaurant was absolutely delicious. I had the privilege of trying a variety of dishes, including the famous BBQ pork skewers and the crispy pata (deep-fried pork leg). Each dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor, and the portions...
