Loving the Ribs at Rub Ribs
You just
have to love entrepreneurs who come up with new and exciting
restaurants. Life never gets boring with new places popping up left and
right. I decided to poke my head around places near Pasig Kapitolyo
this time and “Voila!” I found this new place Rub Ribs
where you can enjoy some ribs and barbeque sauce. It’s conveniently
located in Pasig and it’s just a hop away from Shaw Boulevard; the
tricycle drivers know the place since it’s located along East Capitol
Drive. If you’d like to take a look at a location map, why, we have one
conveniently handy. Take a gander at our Hungry Guide: Kapitolyo, Pasig Food and
Restaurant Map.

The restaurant itself is small but very comfy. You can look around
their interiors for a bit while waiting for your food to arrive. They
have some quite interesting pictures hanging on their walls. This
branch in Pasig is open from 11am until 10pm in the evening. They
opened November 2011 and are known to have great ribs at an affordable
price. How affordable and great? Well, I’ll just let the article and
pictures speak for themselves.

To kick things off we ordered the House Blend Iced Tea (P110).
Summer was letting its presence known so that was the first thing we
looked for. It’s a pitcher good enough for four people but for today it
was only good for two hungry and very thirsty persons. One does get
thirsty while munching and the ice tea is home brewed and reminds me of
hot summers with family. They also have some choices of imported drinks
such as Dr. Pepper (P60) and for the kiddies Kool Aid Jammers (P30).
I absolutely love Dr. Pepper (it’s also hard to find here in the
Philippines) so I promised the owners I’d be back to eat here as they
were currently out of stock when we visited.

The first dish we ordered got us off to a great start. I’d really
suggest ordering a side dish of rice with this one. Heck, make it two
orders of rice since you’ll need it! The Rub Beef (P290)
comes with garlic sauce, US hanging tender, Texas toast, and buttered
veggies. It has very tender beef slices and the sauce sort of reminded
me of gravy/Mechado sauce. You can either dip the beef slice into the
sauce, or you can just pour the entire container of sauce onto your
plate. Personally, I used the toast to mop up the rest of the sauce on
the plate.

Extra rice needed for this.
The next food we sampled is a favorite finger food of mine, the ever so famous Buffalo wings with Blue Cheese (P255).
Someone once told me that the closer the meat is to the chicken bone,
the tastier it is. Apparently there is truth in that. This chicken
wasn’t that spicy, but I like it that way. I have this thing about
eating food that’ll dirty my fingers, but with Buffalo wings, that rule
goes out the door. Part of the experience I suppose of eating Buffalo
wings is getting your hands dirty--just grab those wings and dip it in
the cheese sauce and you’re good to go. The wings were gone in a matter
of minutes, and boy, did I feel full. You can match this with more
rice if you’d like, but I sort of recommend just eating this as is.

The main course we had was the Super Duo Ribs with 2 Sides (P370).
This dish serves two hungry folks and was the favorite of the day. It
came with the ribs, extra sauce, spiced rice, and garlic mashed
potatoes. As good ribs are supposed to be, the meat basically melted
off the bones at a touch of the fork. The rice wasn’t spicy in the
regular sense, but was rather flavorful with a slight hint of paprika.

The dessert we opted for was the Fried Oreos with Vanilla Ice Cream (P150).

What more can you ask for? As it goes with any ice cream dish you’ll
have to eat quickly before it melts. It becomes messy once you have
melted ice cream on the plate, but it’s not a challenge if scoop after
scoop goes directly into your waiting mouth as it will with this
dessert.

Shown here are only some of the goodies that you can get at Rub
Ribs. There are some other great dishes worth checking out, too. It’s
not also just a convenient place for good food, but it’s also a very
budget friendly resto with the food to back it up. I’ll be definitely
be back for more of the ribs and my Dr. Pepper! Grab a few friends, and
hope to see you there some time.
