Pinoy Bloggers Steak Out! The Texas Roadhouse Grill Experience

Another year of exciting events and promotions awaits bloggers this 2010 but before yours truly experience them again let me give back to one of the most mouth-watering food events I've experienced last year. Let me rewind to the last quarter of 2009 when I attended the Texas Roadhouse Grill food event for the bloggers.





This event is another one to add to my "First's lists". Firsts time digging in on a Texas country bar type of restaurant and digging on a delicately prepared steak. I am not a big steak connoisseur (but after this event I might eventually become one) so I was all ecstatic to whatever they throw at the dining table. So to best way to describe my Texas Roadhouse Grill food event experience is through the series of photos which yours truly has taken back then.

Texas Roadhouse Grill let's you experienced an old Western inspired dining experience at the heart of the Metro in El Pueblo, Ortigas Center and here are some to best describe the ambiance:





This photo brings back memories when cigarette commercials where infamous... two words "Marlboro County"






Texas Roadhouse Grill provides perfect ambiance for any group of friends or people on the go. Surf all you want for Texas Roadhouse Grill is a WiFi hotzone.





The event started out with the officials of Texas Roadhouse Grill giving us all a warm greeting and introduction to the modern cowboy-inspired restaurant and steak house, Texas Road House Grill . They talk about the different choice cuts and what Texas Roadhouse Grill has to offer...

TEXAS ROADHOUSE GRILL
Texas Roadhouse Grill, the first modern Western saloon in the Philippines, opened its swinging doors to the public in March 2007 at the Bonifacio High Street to cater to urban cowboys in the Philippines. In Nov 2007 it opened its 2nd branch in El Pueblo Real de Manila, Ortigas Center. Now, there’s no need to go back in time for that authentic Old West experience. Just ride on to Texas Roadhouse Grill and delight in its lip-smackin’ grilled dishes in a modern version of a Wild West saloon.

Get everyone ready and mozzy on down to Texas Roadhouse Grill in El Pueblo, Ortigas Center. It is open daily from 11 am to 12 mn Sundays to Thursdays and from 11 am until 2 am Fridays and Saturdays (tel. nos 635-6715 to 16). Its branch in the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig is located at Bldg 1, Bonifacio High Street and is open daily from 11am to 12mn Sunday to Thursday and until 2am Fridays and Saturdays (tel. Nos. 856-1547 to 48)

While the appetizers were serve a group of selected bloggers were chosen to enter the kitchen for a demo on how the Texas Roadhouse Grill do their masterpiece.







Of course the main event arrives after the kitchen demo, the actual dining experience. Ladies and gentlemen dig your eyes to the best of what Texas Roadhouse Grill Philippines has in store for you:













"Lazie en gentemen, Ze isteyk vefohr ze kheyos"



"You're mine! Mahy presshyusssss!"



My first time tasting a well prepared medium rare steak and it was unforgettable. From then on I promised myself that I will come back at Texas Roadhouse Grill with my friends to let them experience the best steak in the Metro.



Texas Roadhouse Grill is definitely "my cup of coffee" and will forever remember this event by Texas Roadhouse Grill Philippines, teaming up with Yehey.

Bloggers Retreat To Cavite: A Town's Delight in Republic of Cavite Restaurant Bloggers Event Experience

Last September 05, 2009 (Saturday) yours truly together with the rest of my Metro Manila blogger peers traverse the road of Aguinaldo Highway to Governor's Drive for the Town's Delight Bloggers Event in Republic of Cavite Restaurant in Trece Martirez Cavite.



I woke up that day at exactly one in the afternoon, which means I am dreadfully late for the event. It was supposed to start at 1:00 pm so I panicked and felt hopeless that I may not be able to attend it. Luckily, after a split second, I gathered my guts again and decided to still attend the event (even I am that late). Funny thing was that the venue is just some half hour drive from our hometown Dasmariñas, Cavite and there I was, betrayed by my own body clock hehehe.



It was drizzling that time because of some aftereffects of the storm has just left the country. While on the road to Trece Martirez, Cavite, I kept in touch with the bloggers already on the venue and they have already started which adds up to the pressure and made me think that I may probably be too late but thank goodness I am not. I arrived there to find two bloggers who were invited and in the same situation as I am and we three proceeded to the venue, Republic of Cavite behind Trece Martirez City Hall.



What was noticeable is the similarity of the venue for the Town's Delight Blogger event to that of the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit Cavite. See for yourself here:



The Aguinaldo's Shrine in Kawit Cavite





This obviously is the reason why the venue was named Republic of Cavite... from the original seat of power of the first Republic of the Philippines lead by the First President of the Republic, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo



Some familiar faces greeted us on the venue and mentioned that they were warmly welcomed by the people of Town's Delight and Republic of Cavite. We were also welcomed to the Bulwagang Cuenca of the Republic of Cavite.





We later, helped ourselves with the very fine cuisines served at us on Town's Delight Bloggers Event at the Republic of Cavite Restaurant.











While dining we discussed a few things about Trece Cavite, some blogging concerns, and the latest technology and movie buzz. We were offered to try the Cafe' Amadeo, black coffee from Amadeo Cavite which was really strong. I haven't tasted any black coffee for a while now but it can really awaken one's senses once you take a sip or two of the strong coffee.



We also tried the Salabat Iced Tea (Ginger Juice) which was kinda unique. Besides the fact that it was served with ice (I usually drink it hot), it was also sweet and very tasty though it still retained that distinct soothing ginger feel on the throat aftereffect.





We also sampled Authentic Filipino delicacies and desserts.

After trying out all those wonderful dishes by Town's Delight and Republic of Cavite, we went on a tour and was directed to the Republic of Cavite's Showroom.







Town's Delight The Caterer is not your typical caterer for they have been professionally celebrating 35 years of culinary expertise and food services, and still counting. When you are looking for Elegant yet affordable catering services with top-notch food services, Town's Delight is definitely your pick. You can visit them at their official website here:

We still have some time to spend by then, so why not see the rest of the Republic...



We visited the actual Republic of Cavite Restaurant below the Bulwagang Cuenca which goes towards the direction of Munting Tagaytay...



The Munting Tagaytay area resembles the scenic view of the actual Tagaytay Picnic Grove in Tagaytay City. We took a snapshot or two from that venue.




After that small excursion to the Republic of Cavite's version of some of Cavite's most popular destinations (Kawit Cavite and Tagaytay City) we called it a day and was sent home with a bilao of Town's Delight Desserts...



To put it to our own language...

The History of Trece Martirez (Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite)

Thirteen well-knowned citizens of Cavite who were captured by the Spanish Government for the alleged conspiracy and aiding the revolution in Cavite on August 31, 1896. Though the thirteen were innocent, they were still sentenced to death by an unfair trial. The thirteen were shot in the afternoon of September 12, 1896 in the San Felipe Camp in cavite. The name of the Thirteen martyrs were:

Luis Aguado, Eugenio Cabezas, Feliciano Cabuco, Agapito Conchu, Maximo Inocencio, Maximo Gregorio, Jose Lallano, Severino Lapidario, Victoriano Luciano, Alfonso De Ocampo, Francisco Osorio, Hugo Perez, and Antonio SAn Agustin.

Our last stop was the Trece Martirez Monument at the side of the Governor's Drive and took some pictures before calling it a great day at Trece Martirez, Cavite. Together with the Metro Manila Bloggers we went home with a great Trece Martirez experience thanks to Republic of Cavite and Town's Delight The Caterer.
