| - ***YELP 100 CHALLENGE 98/100***
My mom brought me a breakfast plate from Grill City and I was quite impressed with the taste so knowing that we were gonna be doing some shopping at nearby Boulevard Mall we planned on trying their lunch offerings.
As like any other day, parking in Seafood City is always hectic (scary to have so many Asian drivers in one tiny place hahaha) but weekends are the worst and I'm sure the addition of new places to eat in there and 99 Ranch market made it twice as crazy, but oh well, there are sacrifices to be made. As expected it was packed with people and the line was long, my mom stood in line while we scoured for a place to sit. Luckily, a group of gentlemen offered their table but not before some guy tried to hijack it from under our noses, only to be told by the guys that it was for me and my family. He was fuming and even cussed in Filipino hahahaha, he must've been really hangry!
On to the food: We decided on the Mixed platter which consisted of - 2 Grilled Tilapia, 1.5 Liempo (grilled pork belly) 3 pieces of pork or chicken BBQ (they were out of chicken) priced at $22.95 but with the addition of rice and soup or salad is $27.95 which was our order. Everything had really good flavor and charring but I didn't care so much for the grilled Pork belly, I prefer mine more meaty and less fatty. The soup they had was Chicken Tinola, flavor was ok, nothing worth mentioning. For dessert we got their Bibingka (rice cake) $3.99, it was fresh out of the oven but I found it to be too boring, no flavor pop and it had a weird consistency. They had some other food offering but they didn't look too appetizing, nothing we couldn't do a better version of at home. Would I go back? Perhaps. It's not bad, it just didn't WOW me either.
