Menu prices at TGI Friday’s in The Terraces in Ayala Center Cebu are a bit expensive but the establishment makes up for this in its hefty food servings.
My friend and I had trouble finishing our order of pork chops, which came with TGI’s original Jack Daniel sauce and served with either mashed potatoes or rice pilaf, and fish and chips.
The fish and chips surprised us because the “market fresh fish” that was battered and fried to golden brown did not come with chips but with fries.
We called one of the waiters over and asked why it was called fish and chips and he pointed to the fries as the chips part of the order.
The pork chops were good, though, and the serving was more enough than for the two of us. I love the corn cobs that came with the chops but I did not relish eating them not using my hands.
It was my first time at TGI’s. I had long wanted to try it out but the astronaut at the entrance had repelled me, in an illogical sort of way. But I see now that TGI Friday’s promote American culture in its choice of the white and red stripes and display of American icons.
When we had lunch there Thursday, they were playing music videos of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. We asked the restaurant staff to turn it down a little, though, because we were simply not hearing each other in the din. We wanted our lunch to be relaxing, but it probably served us right for doing it at 3 p.m.
My first TGI Friday’s experience did not disappoint but it was not exceptional, either. I don’t think I’ll go back unless it’s not me who’s picking the tab.
