FINAL THOUGHTS

THE WINNERS, CHICKEN ADOBO SA GATA AND SINGAPOREAN CHILI CRISPY CHICKEN

Everybody on the group agreed that every thing was simply okay—they’re completely not dangerous, however they’re additionally nothing to put in writing house about. Nonetheless, contemplating how costly they’re, it was a little bit of a let down.

The few exceptions have been their Singaporean chili crispy hen, which I completely dig—although it wasn’t as spicy as I imagined it to be, and their hen adobo sa gata which may be very uniquely carried out—with the entire spring hen fried, the sarsa combined with gata, and topped with a poached egg.

WE FOUND A PIECE OF PLASTIC IN OUR BULALO SOUP

We additionally didn’t like the truth that we discovered a bit of plastic within the bulalo soup. Our waiter was very sorry for it—saying it was a part of the plastic they cowl the bowl to maintain it heat. After we reported it to their administration, they have been fairly unapologetic about it—saying they are going to examine the matter additional. They finally gave us a lunch voucher, which we didn’t trouble to just accept.

THE REQUISITE GROUP SHOT

To be sincere, we actually wouldn’t have chosen to eat right here if not for our pal who handled the entire gang to dinner—celebrating our first time touring collectively for the reason that pandemic hit.

However all in all, we nonetheless loved our dinner expertise at The Lind Boracay, but it surely was extra the corporate and site somewhat than the meals.
