    Hahahaha! And just when I thought that Racks have vanished into oblivion, I saw a branch at Greenhills in the Connecticut parking complex (and it was said that it has another branch in Makati).

    I kinda miss the barbecue sauce that makes all the steaks yummier:

    Though I’m not much of a steak fan, the barbecue sauce (the regular one, but I also like the extra spicy one) can also be used in their chicken dishes.

    Hickory Smoked Chicken with steamed rice and garlic mashed potatoes

    I love this chicken dish, not just because I’m a chicken person, but because it’s not very salty.  I’m not all that crazy about the mashed potatoes, though.  I’ve tasted something better but it’ll do.  And the original barbecue sauce all over the chicken is enough to make me forget the shortcomings of the mashed potatoes.  Also, the meal is only for P160.  Quite a good deal, I think.

    My rating: 

    Coleslaw, P45 (regular size)

    I’m not so fond of their version of coleslaw either.  I’m not really sure if coleslaw should be eaten cold or warm, but I do prefer that it’s ref cold.  But this one was served warm.

    My rating: 

    Bolognese

    If there’s something that I learned in my visit, it’s that do not order pasta dishes in a steak restaurant.  Okay, that’s a hasty generalization but definitely applicable to Racks.  My parents ordered this one for sharing, but I think we only had a couple of forkfuls of spaghetti and we shifted our attention to eating the garlic bread instead.  The sauce is completely bland-tasting.

    My rating: 

    Mississipi Mud Pie

    At least, finally dessert arrived.  It’s nowhere near Cyma’s Skolatina because the cake isn’t that soft and chewy.  But the chocolate’s fine.  And the vanila ice cream is glorious.  So, I guess that redeems it a bit.

    My rating: 

    Staff are friendly and courteous, but they’re slightly problematic when it comes to attentiveness.  There were only few customers but still they got food mixed up.  My dad did not order a particular rib steak but since it’s the one brought to us, he thought it was what he had ordered.  Turned out that it was for another customer and it’s more expensive than what he originally ordered.  Good thing we’ve got credit cards.  Staff should be more attentive to the customers and to what they’re serving.

    Overall it’s not really that a bad experience and maybe I’ll be coming back for more of that hickory smoked chicken.  Hehe.
