Hai Chix and Steaks

Been wanting to try Hai Chix and Steaks for a while. I read about it in Oh My Buhay and Desserts Come First. The name actually made me curious, so I read more reviews. They were pretty good so I planned on celebrating my birthday here. Unfortunately it didn't push through as I ended up celebrating somewhere else.

Yesterday after watching the Ateneo-La Salle Filoil (on TV), Nic and I got hungry and decided to eat out. He suggested that we finally try Hai Chix and Steaks.

Located at the Metro Home Depot along Julia Vargas in Pasig. 

The place was pretty small. It can maybe seat 30-40 diners. I saw that they also offer Pinkerton ice cream.
Autographed chopping boards. I only understood Benjie Paras' handwriting. Weird. Haha.

Nic and I shared a solo plate of Hainanese Chicken and 330 grams of ribeye steak. Good thing we shared because at the end of our meal, I was soooo dizzy from the steak. Not that I'm complaining. 

Happy chef

Hainanese Chicken. Comes with chicken rice and the usual sauces

The chicken was good! It was so tender and flavorful. I like it way better than Wee Nam Kee (Philippines). Not bad for 250 bucks! My husband already branded it as the best chicken rice ever. For me though, Tao Yuan serves the best, and both Chef Stevie and THIS come second.

Ribeye Steak. Comes with steak rice and drippings

The steak was also good! I was expecting it would still be priced at 800 bucks like what the reviews said, but this was 1100. But who cares. It was still good and made me so full after. Next time we're trying the porterhouse with some friends.

Dizzy from the oil, we were both looking for dessert so we shared 2 scoops of red velvet ice cream from Pinkerton. It was okay...


Red Velvet ice cream

Trying the Guava Basil sorbet next time.



All in all, we enjoyed our meal in Hai Chix and Steaks. I think we will be coming back and eating here often.
