Pier One - The Walk

August 31, 2008

That day was the very first time I tried out Pier One. I was back from Estonia a few days earlier, so I can't wait to stuff my mouth with all-Filipino flavors. I remembered thinking how everything on the menu looked so good. What will I have, what will i have, what will i have? After what seems like one year of deliberation, the final choices were: Sinuglaw, Pork Liempo (with the flavors of Cebu Lechon or something) and Tuna Belly.

java rice? i forgot :D

liempo with cebu lechon flavors or something

tuna belly

wholesome-tasting daiquiri (prolly good for toddlers too!) :D

Unfortunately, the only thing I loved about that experience was the cool wind of IT Park, fanning us like sea breeze at the terrace of the restaurant. After expecting some sort of Gerry's Grill-like experience, the food we ordered were really disappointing. Even the daiquiri tasted wholesome, like 100% pure juice.

Looking back, I think bad choices were made. Or maybe things have improved since then. Earlier this year, I went back twice and we had the sisig, crispy pata, spicy chicken and it was all good. :)

Still, I can't say I favor the place, all because their so called "promo" on beers is total bull crap. 'Nuff said. ;-)
