Working long hours; but managed to escape for lunch, albeit on the early side and purely take-out from Manila Fast Food and Desserts. An early lunch here can actually be better since the steam table stuff might be fresher and less greasy.
On this day I got Beef Mechado and Sisig.
The woman behind the counter actually laughed at me when I told her to give me half the amount of rice. That's half rice in the photo above. There was a time when I thought MFF was pretty good; but they seem to have fallen off in recent years.
Case in point; the Beef Mechado was salty, lacked tanginess, and that beef was dry and tough. The sisig was dry, needed more of a vinegar punch, the lechon was hard, though it did have nice pungency from the onions, though there was way too much of it in the dish.
Sigh......mark another one off "my list" for a while.

When I was younger it was all about quantity. Not so much anymore. Life's too short for subpar food.

Totally CC.
I know Kat......
Hi Soo - The Lechon Kawali there from previous experience is all about timing. On this day it wasn't even out yet.
Life is too short for lousy food Junichi.
