[OK na Food Trip] Grandad's Grill and Deli

Intro:

It was Labor Day kaya walang pasok at naisip naming mag Labor Date. The Girl and the Bull came up to be the most interesting among Kat's research but after a call, they were already fully booked for dinner. So we ended up with Grandad's Grill and Deli with their steak on our cross-hairs. We're still on a steak hangover after Mad Mark's.

Isang trike away lang ito from sa bahay namin. Nasa Aguirre Avenue sila sa BF Sucat, just across Baliwag Lechon.

Food:

• 500g Prime Rib steak (cooked medium) served with mashed potato
• Grilled Tanigue served with green rice
• Bread with Pesto

Bago lutuin, pinakita sa amin ang karne at ipinaalam ang bigat. We don't care really how it looks and we don't even know how a good piece should look like but we appreciate the gesture. At mas lalo kaming na-excite. After the steak was served and after slicing a couple of chunks from it, sabay namin na-realize na parang sobrang dami ng litid. Andami ding chunks na niluwa ko dahil hindi ko manguya. After our dinner, siguro lampas one-fourth ng kabuuan ng steak ang either niluwa ko or naitabi ko dahil litid or hindi ko manguya ng matino... the other quarter being the bone.

Sobrang tigas ng karne. Literally, my plate is swinging along with my slices. Natatawa na nga si Kat. Napapatingin na din yung staff sa lamesa namin (walang ibang kumakain that night) pero wala naman silang ginagawa about it. Mind you, the meat looks really like it's cooked medium. Yung piyesa ng karne ang tingin kong may problema. Maraming posibleng dahilhan kung bakit ganun. Maaaring niluto agad yung beef na sobrang frozen pa ito o kaya matanda na yung karne.

Whatever it is, that's one of the suckiest steak I've had so far. Nakaka-trauma. Pinagtawanan na lang namin ni Kat dahil hindi kami yung type ng kustomer na nagwawala for our consumer rights.

grilled tanigue

Nagustuhan namin yung lasa ng tanigue. It's grilled just right (hindi sunog at hindi nawala ang lasa ng isda). Watchout lang dahil may maliliit at matitigas na tinik. Match na match yung sawsawan nilang asim-tamis ang lasa sa isda. Their green rice is a nice complement too.

pesto loving

They have this complimentary bread with homemade pesto spread. Sarap ng pesto! Gusto pa namin humingi ng madami kaso baka mabusog agad. See, pinaghandaan talaga namin ng husto yung steak! LOL.

Kaching:

Price is surprisingly affordable. Steak goes at 1 peso per gram. Ang mura nun! Kaya akala ko naka tyamba na kami ni Kat ng isang good find for a steak house. Yun pala may rason kung bakit mura.

The other ala carte dishes goes for P190 to P280 and frankly, sana yun na lang ang sinubukan namin at hindi na nag steak.

Comment:

The staff did not care if we're having a hard time with our steak. Pero generally they are accommodating sa ibang bagay.

ambiance

Medyo mahirap makita yung place nila dahil nasa dulo sila ng dikit dikit na commercial establishments na partly natatakpan ng isang malaking puno. Sa interiors, it has a homey feel to it na parang pang family yung vibes. Classy yung decors at mga furnitures, with paintings on the wall. Medyo madilim lang sa loob kapag gabi (madilim ang ilaw) pero wala kaming pake. Oks lang.

from Aguirre Ave at night

Madami pa silang interesting grilled food items sa menu na sana yun na lang ang sinubukan namin. Pero after our failed attempt at their steak, mukang di na kami babalik to give those a go.

Summary:
Steak nightmare. Try the other food items.
