STAY FAR AWAY from Roboto San, The Fort BGC


FoodStars always aim to give a fair & true account of our dining experiences. It is therefore our duty to inform our readers & the public about our unfortunate experience at Roboto San, The Fort Bonifacio Global City, our new NEVER EVER GO-TO PLACE

The place was packed that fateful Sunday night. Servers in space suits and television screens showing fan favorite robot shows, namely Astroboy, Voltes Five and Mazinger Z. With the white on white walls & interiors, they were trying to give off the Japanese vibe, with little success.  I'm still a bit confused how ROBOTS = OUTER SPACE. 0_o

Moving on... Roboto San's wares were displayed along the center of the restaurant. They encourage own cooking here, with tables equipped with its own grill. After getting some of their choice meats & seafood, it was time to unleash the mini-chef in us. The night started off without a hitch. 

We spoke too soon.

Sunday Munch Out at Marriott Cafe, Newport City Complex

** Late post **

I think we're on a hotel eating spree. :) For this particular Sunday, we headed out to Marriott Cafe at the Newport City Complex. 

Marriot Cafe, Newport City Complex
As always, we were expecting stellar service. What we got instead was a huge disappointment. Even with reservations done days before, the people manning this reception counter were clueless. After almost 15 agonizing minutes, they soon found it penciled in their books. 

As we were about to walk in, they stopped us again with a lame excuse that they were not yet open for lunch even if there were already people seated inside enjoying their meal. Seriously? They made us wait another 15 minutes before ushering us in. 

You can just imagine how frustrating it's become even before the meal started. Ugh. A definite bad start.
