Racks Revisited

My friend Terence called me up one Friday night to drive over to Paseo de Magallanes for dinner with him and Ken. I was quite hesitant at first since I wasn’t really familiar with the directions heading there and I was quite new to driving in the area that going to South Super Highway has always been a challenge.

However, while chatting on the phone, Terence blurted out the magic words, “We’re having dinner at Racks!” and immediately, without even thinking, I went ahead to pick up my wallet and said “I’ll be right there, I’m just gonna hail me a cab!!!” So off I went, leaving my stuff in the office.

Racks has always been a personal favorite and I was really excited to try it out again. They are now under new management and from what I heard, they actually streamlined the whole operations. Te and Ken were already there when I arrived. We ordered 2 family platters of Chicken and Pork Ribs, with sides of beans and coleslaw and 2 large pitchers of Coke Light for the four of us. I know, we are voracious eaters!

When our orders arrived, it could barely fit our table. I immediately went for the baked beans and pork ribs. This is what I have to say — It is exactly like how I remember it! The meat is perfectly grilled, it’s so tender it falls off the bone! The signature Racks sweet and spicy sauce has not changed a bit. The chicken was ok, but I’m not quite a fan, probably because it was a little bit dry. But mind you, we finished it all - no leftovers!!

Considering the amount of food we ordered, our bill was pretty cheap. We only paid for less than Php2000.00 for everything, which is not bad at all!
