Texas Roadhouse Again

April 7, 2008 by Janey

Texas Roadhouse is now included in my list of comfort food. There’s Mom and Tina, Café Juanita, Shakey’s, Pasto to name a few. Texas Roadhouse has become that feel good food for me. After checking out at Makati Shangrila, we headed to Texas Roadhouse in Ortigas (since the one at the Fort is always full!). Our body was still tired from the adventure race we participated in from 8pm-2am (more on that on a separate post). I actually slept around 5am already.

On the Table:

Nacho and Cheese PHP 250 ++

This is the first time Bubba tried this dish and I was right! It was really up his alley. He enjoyed the chunky layer of cheese on top of the nacho, garnished with a coin of Jalapeno on top. He even discovered that there’s a layer in between the cheese and nacho that’s ground beef. Ultra yum!

Parmesan Crusted Fish PHP 340 ++

A favorite of Bubba and mine. Parmesan encrusted fish has a crunchy coating but the fish meat remained fresh and juicy inside. It had Alfredo sauce poured on top and Marinara sauce on the side. I was tempted to order this too but it doesn’t make sense to have two plates of it when we can try a new dish.

Shrimp and Salmon Skewer PHP 350 ++

Served with vegetables and pilaf rice. I wasn’t able to finish this but was a bit disappointed that the shrimp tasted bland. It didn’t have any grill markings. It was like steamed shrimp pierced by a skewer. The salmon was dry.

I was stung by the heat of Tabasco (Bubba claims I had a spoonful of the spicy condiment) and couldn’t get my bearings. I asked for sugar from the wait staff. The manager saw what happened and was so nice to get me a slice of Mandarin to ease my tongue on fire.
