MEAT BENJOR

Hell Yea!!!

1 Kg
Juicy, Char-Grilled (Local) Steak for only Php 500!!!

Had a chance to re-visit one of my fave eating places at Angeles City, Pampanga last Thursday night.

BONDOC'S STEAKHOUSE

Man!!

THE STEAK WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I REMEMBERED!!

Perfect with a cold, crispy SMB Light.

Super SARAP and HUGE with that superb ganja (toyo, vinegar, chopped sili, onions) sauce on the side.

Bondoc's Steakhouse is part of the "glorious" - hehehehe! - Marisol Subdivision in Angeles City.
There are a number of steakhouses at Marisol.
All bunched up next to each other.

Although, there seemed to be more a few years ago when I was still playing for Pampanga Dragons.

Times sure have changed a lot in Pampanga with the proliferation of all the SM and other big Malls around the area.

Back in ye olde - Pampanga Dragons days -- we would always come to this particular steakjoint at Marisol.

We would chow down the juicy steaks before a game day to load up.
Or after winning game days to celebrate.

Bondoc's Steakhouse is actually located inside a residential home.

Let me rephrase that.

It IS a residential home.

They use their front garden to pack the customers in.

In fact, the homeowners drove into the garage while Chris (me' officemate) and I were savoring the super steaks and celebrating ATENEO's 2008 UAAP Bball championship.

CONGRATS ATENEO!!!!
ONE BIG FIGHT!!!!
MARY FOR YOU!!!!

Am definitely coming back for more!

Heck.
Since I love this place so much ->

I'm gonna scan a map for all of ya so ya know how to get there!
