It
has been months since I purchased my Deal Grocer vouchers for Melo’s Foie Gras
and Steak Set and finally, R and I were able to use it one Friday.
Hello,
Melo’s.
I
don’t exactly remember the last time I dined in Melo’s but it must have been
more than a decade ago. All I know is that this is one of the established steak
places in Manila. So when I saw a good deal in Deal Grocer, I nabbed the chance
to enjoy a foie gras and steak set for only PHP999.
I
made a reservation for two at 7 p.m. and when I got there 10 minutes earlier,
the place was empty. Well, there was a table occupied outside but there were no
other diners around. To think that it was Friday and pay day, it made me
realize why Melo’s was offering this irresistible deal.
I
asked the server to prepare our steaks 15 minutes before R arrives. While
waiting, I was given some soft buns and butter.
The
medium rare steaks were served a couple of minutes after R arrived.
The
steaks were succulent and tender. But it lacked flavor and it made me crave for
seasoning. The foie gras looked a bit sad and was not what I imagined it would
look like. Taste-wise, it was okay. But it was dry and quite far from the ones
I get from Highlanders Steakhouse. R commented that the foie gras tasted like
the ones from Impressions which were just mediocre.
Overall,
it was a satisfactory dinner. It wasn’t superb or mind-blowing. But it was
filling and still value for money.
Melo’s
is located at Burgos Circle, Forbes Town Center, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
This is such awesome service! I think it's amazing that you have some goodies to cook with. I would be curious to try out this food. certified food
