I Mean, What Is Wrong With Filipinos, Anyway?
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of horrible reviews I find online. In my search for an interesting place to eat dinner on Friday night, I found this review for Manila Grove at the Great Wall Mall:
Uhhh…………..huh?! What was I just eating?! We ordered this noodle dish which carried a weird after taste, then we had a beef stew with peanut sauce? That was rather bland with NO FLAVOR! I believe one of our entrees came with what I thought was chili sauce but it was actually some sort of anchovy tasting sauce! EWWW! I took a spoon full of that!
Thanks but no thanks, I think this will be my first and last time here. I can say their adobo was not bad, but then again how do you go wrong with making a chicken stir fried with vinegar and soy sauce?
Anchovy tasting sauce? I swear, something is wrong with Asians. AMIRIGHT?
TRUE CONFESSION: We ended up eating there, and it was delicious! There is nothing better on this planet, I swear to God, than adobo. There is not a man, woman, or child on Earth who does not enjoy a nice plate of pork adobo.
Stumble it!

Oh, did you read his other reviews? He gave one restaurant four stars because the ladies room was a great place to have sex.

SRZLY urrwun should read the rest of JeremyM.’s Brains.
“they have a color plate system which seperates the expensive dishes versus the less expensive one and believe me…………those colored plates no longer mean anything! I saw a black plate from afar and thought “WOO HOO! Good stuff coming!” Ehhhhh, WRONG! Another Tempura roll!”
In this one he talks about bringing his kids, and then later: “Horrible experience! At least at Hooters I can still gawk at the waitresses there from afar, our waitress we can’t miss from a football field away yet service was still shietty with only two other tables there when we arrived!!”
And last but not Brains: “I grew up bowling at this place, literally! I’ve been bowling here since back in the days, when Michael Jackson was still black! HAHAHA! ”
