Agate Get-Together at Uncle Cheffy

For our annual Christmas get-together, my high school friends and I drove to the Mall of Asia so our friend, who's on duty that day, can still join us for dinner. Since it was a weekend on a Christmas holiday, getting a parking space was a strenuous task and looking for a restaurant with minimal waiting time was even more challenging.

Then it hit me, why not bring them to Uncle Cheffy at Prism Plaza? So instead of waiting in line to get to the building parking, we turned around and parked near Prism, hassle-free. Uncle Cheffy was full that night but we were lucky to get a table right away.

What we ordered

Lovely Jenny Salad (Medium) - Php230.00

Uncle Cheffy's Lovely Jenny Salad was a combination of Green Apple and Arugula Salad with Marinated Salmon in French dressing. It was fresh and light -- the way appetizers should be.

Four Flavors Panizza - Php999.00

Since we were a group of 5 with 2 kids, Pizza on the table is a must. Instead of ordering ala carte, we got the Php999 Brick Oven BBQ and Panizza meal which comes with Four Flavors Panizza, Chicken Maurino and a pitcher of freshly-brewed Oolong Tea.

Chicken Maurino

Surf and Turf - Php880.00

A plateful of Roasted Chicken Leg, Lamb Breast, Beef and Pork Ribs, Creamy Dory, Salmon, Tuna Belly and Garoupa -- it was definitely a hit among the group!

Service was slow that night and the server confused some of our orders with the other customers that the pitcher of Oolong Iced Tea was served last. Nevertheless, we still had a great time because it was never about the food, it's always about the company!

Uncle Cheffy

is neither an uncle nor a friend. 

Uncle Cheffy is actually the latest addition to a loop of restaurants found at the newly built Two E-Com Center near the Mall of Asia.

There are four restaurants now opened at the 4F of the Prism Plaza (the gap at the building at my back) namely House of Wagyu, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, a Thai place and Uncle Cheffy. I was leaning towards the Thai restaurant but when I heard that Uncle Cheffy has steaks and ribs at 20% off,

I grabbed DB's arm and made our way inside the tastefully designed restaurant. Everything was going smoothly as always, I was having a great time taking photos of the place and then a couple more shots and there was darkness. The camera's battery is drained!

I apologize for the blurry pictures you will see from this time forward since we also forgot to bring the extra battery for the camera and just used the iPhone to take photos.

Bottomless Iced Tea

The waitress had to check on us thrice before we finally made up our minds on what to order. DB was torn between steak and lamb, but lamb is his first love so he chose the latter.

I, on the other hand was all eyes on the ribs from the start. That's one kilo of beef ribs by the way.

There's barbeque sauce, mint and tomatoes for dipping.

Lamb breast was more like lamb ribs. There's a taste to it which I didn't like (I've had better ones in the past) so one bite and I passed. It's really a love-hate relationship between lamb and myself.

Lamb Breast Provencale Way

U.S. Beef Ribs was delicious only if it wasn't too hard to chew. Surprisingly though that I was able to finish the salad before the ribs.

Memphis Barbeque U.S. Beef Rib Finger

But I'm not giving up. There's still a lot more to try at Uncle Cheffy, a lot more dishes to change a not-so-good experience of ours. Hope they will extend the promo longer.
