    Finally...
    Steven S.

    [WARNING: LONG REVIEW AHEAD] Ever since stepping foot in the Philippines, I've yet to taste a truly delicious and well-prepared steak; something reminiscent of the ones I used to enjoy back in the good ol' U.S. of A. However, Mamou was a name that always popped up among the top steakhouse lists in the Metro. Ever since then, I've been wanting to visit Mamou and finally, the time came to call them up and make a reservation. The items we ordered were the Mamou's Greens, Lorenzo's Truffle Cream Pasta, Bone-in Ribeye, and the Key Lime Pie for dessert. Starting the meal off with the salad, Mamou's Greens, the girlfriend and I both agreed it was substandard. Bitter greens, maybe only 3 or 4 cherry tomatoes, and a bland vinaigrette to top it all off. We were also served complimentary bread to accompany our salad. However, to my surprise, the bread came out steamy and damp. A sign that the bread was probably microwaved. As I bit into the bread I became even more suspicious as it was very chewy and spongy. At this point, we've only gotten through the appetizers and our meal is already starting out on the wrong foot. The next dish to arrive is the Truffle Cream Pasta and it couldn't have come any sooner. Many recommended this dish and I now see why: the pasta itself is cooked perfectly al dente. The cream sauce is very rich and yet not overly heavy and finishes with a subtle taste of truffle. A great dish, we just wished there was more of it on the plate. Next, the dish I've been waiting so long to taste: our Dry Aged USDA Prime Bone-in Rib eye Steak. We were recommended to get our steak cooked to a "medium rare" doneness and yet when it arrived, it was a bit more on the rare side. Not a huge deal, but when you pay this much for a dish, little things can leave a big impression. Also, I've noticed a few tendencies here at steakhouses in the Philippines. One is how they like to serve your steak to you already cut. Something I personally don't like but it's whatever since it's going to get cut up one way or another. Another is how they like to serve your steak in a puddle of the oil they used to cook the steak. This is something I find pointless and unappetizing. Overall, I liked the steak. However, I'm not trying to start a fight here but I have my doubts that the steak we were served was a USDA Prime grade steak. Biting into the meat, there was no richness of fat that's present in a Prime grade piece of beef. Also, the beef flavor alone was very lacking. I know I'm being very critical but again, when you pay almost 4k for a piece of meat you expect it to be a very high quality piece of meat. Last but not least, the Key Lime Pie ended the meal off on a high note. Perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweetness to tart and the pie filling consistency was smooth and velvety. I enjoyed Mamou and would like to eventually come back here in the future. Regarding the score, I'd love to actually give them 3.5 stars but alas Yelp doesn't do half scores. But for now, it looks like the search for that perfect steak continues... Pros -Service here is top-notch. I swear the waiters are mind readers! On many occasions I'd start to look for a server and one would come be right behind us checking if we needed anything. Cons -Be prepared to spend...A LOT. -Serving sizes here can be underwhelming.

    Everything tasted greaaaat especially their steak and best-selling salad! We ate at Mamou Rockwell and were served greatly. Customer service - really commendable!

    How can I live without you?

    The rain was falling in sheets when I finally had my long-planned much delayed meal at Mamou Serendra. And as I perused the menu I thought about relationships. There was the one you took to bed, even though you knew you'd regret it the next morning. Or the other one you hid from your friends. And of course the one who was good for you but just didn't turn you on. If only I was talking about lovers and not pints of ice cream, chicharon bulaklak and steamed spinach. Compared with food, romantic partners are relatively simple, yes they can cause you to weep, curse and reach the depths of hell but in hindsight these are things you can walk away from. You and food on the other hand, are stuck for life. So I ordered Mamou's Rib eye steak because I wanted to fulfill my craving for meat and it was as expected, spectacular. It was so good that I skipped dinner, not because I was too full but because just like a lover's kiss I wanted to retain the memory of its taste.

    Delicious local cuisine! Highly recommend if you can get the table! All are delicious and tasty!!!!

    You know those big, fat steak knives they use in some restaurants? Those that don't seem sharp enough and you'll always tire yourself out trying to saw your way through the meat? Well, when they placed that knife in front of me before my steak arrived, I was annoyed. However, when my steak arrived, I finally understood the existence of that damned knife. Mamou's ribeye was so tender and juicy that stupid knife cut right through it with little or no resistance. Even at medium rare, the steak was soft, the fat was buttery, and that crust. Oh, that crust was perfect. We also ordered the truffle pasta which was very creamy and heavier on the stomach than we had anticipated. The meal and the great service means it can get a little pricey but trust me, it's well worth your money!

    Their dry aged USDA prime grade bone-in ribeye steak is a must. Very tender and tasty. Lorenzo's truffle cream pasta is also a must. Their side order of creamed spinach and corn pudding is just mediocre. The service is great, they only have about 5 servers servicing one table...even when it's super busy.

    From sinigang to steak! My go to in Manila when at the Fort. Feels like home ambiance and the food is relish! Great with friends and colleagues. Never in Manila without a stop at this joint! To top it all....Marquis de Caceres Crianza!

    Texas Roadhouse is an American chain steakhouse and when we found that they had locations in the…read moreUS, we had to try them out. The layout and offerings pretty much mirror what's offered in the US. The only unavailable item is the Cactus blossom (fried onion bloom). Instead, they offer onion frizzles as a substitute. A few things to mention. You will experience sticker shock due to the fact that: #1.) Steak is hard to come by in the Philippines (could be a cultural thing) and #2.) Expect the meat cuts to be rather thin. #3.) Drinks are not as boozy. My husband ordered a Raspberry Margarita and although it had great flavor, the booze was lacking. Flavor is definitely present but for the price Americans pay for steak versus the Philippines, there is a high premium.

Also got the steak and was served without any A1 sauce. Server was way too concerned about cleaning the table when we were done- we paid our bill and were still seated and the guy already started clearing the table, grabbing our plates as it passed by our faces. As a side note, while eating our dinner, they seated a party of 6 in a booth that can only seat 4 and I saw the group looked annoyed that they're elbow to elbow in their seat that they themselves asked the server to move them to a bigger table. Poor customer service and to top it off, the food was meh.

It was a very nice place, as you might imagine, a restaurant and bar on the 30th floor of a luxury hotel in BGC. It had a sort of American whiskey cowboy theme, though with the golden grandeur of the Shangri-La. The bar was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night. Other than our table, the only guests I noticed were a very old white man and his very young Asian escort, who I do hope was being paid handsomely for her time. Service was polite and attentive, and we enjoyed a relaxing round to mark the end of our trip. My friend Nick L. was kind enough to buy. We got snack buckets of spiced popcorn when we sat down, then ordered ourselves some cocktails from the book-sized leather-bound menu. I had the Last Runner, a complicated milk punch with black and white rum, jasmine green tea, pineapple juice, passionfruit, milk, and calamansi juice. It was quite boozy and delicious, garnished with a charred slice of pineapple. I also admired my friend Bong C.'s Cowboy Old Fashioned, with Raging Bull bourbon, sherry wine, and vanilla. It came in a giant glass bottle filled with smoke, and he poured it himself into the accompanying old fashioned glass. We hung out for an hour then went to sleep, and I left for the airport the next morning. I had a great time in Manila thanks to my travel mates, and I was glad for this one last drink at Raging Bull.
