PUSO Grill and Restobar — Restaurant in Tagaytay

We ordered stuffed squid, kare-kare and cucumber calamansi shake.

The stuffed squid was filled with pork sisig which was the worst stuffed squid that I have tasted. Not good at all even the sisig stuffing. Even the kare-kare was one of the worst kare-kare I have tasted. It was like a bit of food color with lots of sugar. Very sweet and didn’t taste like kare-kare at all. The meat was almost like fat only and you almost couldn’t eat any meat at all. The shake was also too sweet and was not refreshing. Nothing different with the puso rice too except for the presentation.

The view is just a bit fine but you mostly really go to a restaurant for the quality of the food. The view is just secondary.

The service was just normal. You don’t feel anything special. Yet, the service charge was very high. Not worth it at all.

Ordered the teriyaki chicken and I firmly believe they must import the anorexic birds from an Ethiopian feathered farm. Perhaps the poor bird had gone months without a single meal. 😪

The portion was quite small to begin with and ended up being 2/3 bones and served cold. Seemed to be cooked a week ago and they scraped the bottom of the bucket, especially for my serving. Perhaps they heard a local street dog barking and thought I liked to chew on bones.

The only flavor during the visit came from the live band, which was more fulfilling than the faulty foul...

Pros: Location - very accesible and parking area is abundant (we arrived around 1pm) Ambiance - 7.5/10 Staff - 9/10 - corteous and attentive Cons: Food prep time - 5/10, we were the only guests and we only ordered three items from their menu and it took 30 mins plus to have our food served Food quality - kare kare taste is average and lacks the peanutty taste, pinakbet is ok but the sizzling tofu was burnt and the taste is not something you would order again Price - a bit pricey for the taste, serving size and...
