REVIEW: Pine Country Steaks and Waffles

I have intended to blog every restaurant I go to but many are just too regular or too plain, but tonight is totally different. It was getting dark as we approach this place but it was cozy-looking due to the effects of the lights surrounding the trees and the mini-candle lights on the tables located outside the shop. Due to this, my mind was pre-set that this place is worthy of a review.

We decided to get one of the tables placed outside for some fresh air. As the case may be, due to the volume of diners and lack of crew, we had to wait for the menu to arrive and again,we waited longer for our food. The wait was worth it though, first came my fish and chips, the serving was good enough for its price. The fish was fried to perfection, crispy outside and soft inside. What I like most is the oil was drained well so that the fish didn't taste greasy which I don't like about fried food. The potato wedges were baked exactly how we liked it.

The boys wanted to have glazed BBQ ribs but they ran out of it so they opted for the Country Style Liempo with  rice and a side dish of buttered vegetables. I had to eat some slices from their meal so I could say something about it on my review. The meat tasted really flavorful. Perhaps the meat was soaked with their marinade for some time. It was soft and chewy.  The boys had to order extra rice which turned me off because it was priced at P48 per cup, that could be one complete meal at the school canteen.(chuckle)  My hubby, who is on a diet ordered for a Country Style Fried Chicken with potato wedges. It was one of the best tasting fried chicken I have ever tasted. The flavor wasn't too strong nor too salty, it was a flavor that you wanted to play inside your mouth. It was the juiciest and crispiest chicken I had in a while. The gravy complimented it consummately. My girl got attracted to the title Buttermilk Pancake Tower, she said no sharing but because there were 5 pieces of pancakes on top of each other and realized that it was more than enough for her she offered the boys some slices. Topped with maple syrup and mixed-fruits is perfect delight to a girl's eyes. Obviously, the ingredients used were the top of the line.

There are more on the menu and we are sure to go back to have them. Then I can update this blog.

I hope the management will maintain the food quality we had now. Improve on the promptness of the crew and reduce the price of the extra rice. ;-)
