L&S Spotted along Rue Bourbon Passing a Good Time!

Lettuce Says,

When couples go on a staycation within Makati City, one panics for searching a great place for dinner. In the case of Lettuce and Sunrise, that one's me! (Always!) After scourging google, I came up with Rue Bourbon Bar and Restaurant in Salcedo Village.

Rue des Bourbon, French for Bourbon Street is the main inspiration of this bar and restaurant owned by celebrity Jodi Sta. Maria. I love "The Originals" tv series which is in a mardi gras setting of New Orleans. This is one of the major tourist destination in Louisiana where the bars and pubs lined at Bourbon Street snoozed in daytime and came to life by sunset to an all night drinking and partying through great music and southern food.

Yours truly being a part of Makati's workforce, I very well know how to abuse our bodies and minds during the daytime, then long for some alcohol fuel after office hours. Sometimes, you just got to grab a beer and quietly chat with your colleagues and friends away from the hustle and bustle of the metro. Little did I know there is someplace like this within the city! 

We went to Rue Bourbon on a Saturday night. The surroundings were quiet and only a few tables were occupied with mostly foreigners. The warm lights greeted us as we go over their menu. 

They have a second floor with lounge chairs and tables great for groups.

Their extensive list includes steaks, ribs, cajun sea bass, blackened fish which instantly piqued our interest. They also have pasta, burgers, and sandwiches. And of course, they have a wild array of cocktails and beers. Finally, we decided to load on meat and sample their bestsellers.

Bourbon Barbeque Ribs (Solo PhP295)

Hickory barbeque glazed tender pork ribs with choice of dirty mashed potato or jambalaya rice. 

The sauce was great and flavorful but the meat itself was quite dry and tough. Hope they can improve this to a fall-of-the-bone version.

The mashed potato deserves a close up photo. This was very chunky which I liked which didn't need a lot of gravy.

Rue's Roasted Angus Beef (PhP420)

A special Angus Beef belly cooked to perfection served with hash brown and buttered veggies.

At this point, we came to realized that the ribs and roast beef shared the same sweet demi glazed sauce. The hickory sauce certainly blended well with this than the pork ribs. The beef had a strip of fat and tender ligaments that I enjoyed to my preference.

To accompany our meats, I ordered this hard ass...

Caramel Big Ass Beer

This bad boy received a lot of mixed reviews online, but for me a liter of this caramel flavored beer made me soo happy that night. I love how the slight bitterness of the beer was tamed by the sweetness of the caramel. Girls would definitely love this! I will drag the peeps at work just for this golden fluid and to try some some of their wild exploding fireworks cocktails and gunpowder drinks. Hmm got you interested, right? :)

How Big Was Thee Beer?
