Hawaiian BBQ in Mall of Asia

When Hawaiian Barbeque opened at the Boutique in Tagaytay, it has always been one of my favorite destinations outside the metro. The cozy interiors of the Boutique welcomes weekend couples and visitors to its lounge cum restaurant, The Original Hawaiian Barbeque, that opens up to a veranda where patrons could choose to dine al fresco.

After going around the car show one saturday, we decided to check out the rows of restaurants along the bay area of MOA. Our eyes landed on the not-so-recently opened Hawaiian Barbeque. We decided to go for the big one, so a large plate of The Original Hawaiian BBQ and a large plate of Spam Rice to share.

We also ordered a plateful of chicken glazed with some coconut milk sauce and ginger, which was also surprisingly good! Voracious eaters that we are, one large plate of spam rice and a medium order of the hawaiian barbeque plate had to be added to fill the stomachs of 5 hungry souls.

I don’t know if it’s just me but comparing my dining experience in Tagaytay and MOA, the food was way better and bigger in Tagaytay, but the service was quicker and more efficient in MOA. However, there was a miss in our first spam rice plate — it did not contain any SPAM at all, but chicken barbeque flakes!

On the cleanliness front, I’m not sure if it’s the kind of tiles that they use, but it seems that the floor was not so sparkling clean on both visits. But that’s just me, nitpicking. Price wise, it wasn’t too cheap, neither was it too expensive. Our bill was around 2,500.00 enough to feed 5 really hungry customers and a doggy bag full of bones for Atlas, and half a plate of SPAM rice and half a rack of ribs to go.

Overall, the dining experience was great and I will definitely go back.
