The Best Grilled Tanigue In Town

I can't recall having devoted one blog entry just to a single dish, so this must really be great!

While everyone can expect everything to be good at The Frazzled Cook in Tomas Morato, I must say that I was still caught by surprise upon taking my first bite into their tender and tasty Grilled Tanigue Steak. Priced at 370 pesos, one has the right to think that it's just one of their overpriced offerings. Mahal naman kasi talaga at kung walang okasyon o hindi ko trip na biglang mag-aya sa pamilya, malamang 'di rin ako kakain dito.

But it was good that I forgot about the price tag for a while. Hehe! On the menu, it is described as "marinated and grilled tanigue topped with our version of herbed butter." It was unassuming, not even marked as one of their bestsellers. But because I wanted something new after having tried their much-acclaimed Truffle Pasta and recommended Wagyu Salpicao, ito na ang inorder ko sa reunion ng barkada. Ayan na siya!

Grilled Tanigue Steak at The Frazzled Cook
(78 Scout Gandia Street, Laging Handa, Tomas Morato, QC)

I could praise it in a lot of ways like: Bawat kagat, nanunuot ang sarap! Hindi siya 'yung dry na madidismaya ka lang dahil nag-crave ka sa isang seafood resto tapos tuyot naman pala. Hindi rin 'yung maalat na timpla matapos mo akalaing healthy porke isda siya. Hehe. With feelings talaga ang paglalarawan ko. Kasi naman, hindi siya nakakaumay kaya excited ako at pumipikit pa para malasap tuwing susubo. Pero siyempre, nag-share rin ako sa mga kaibigan bilang iba-iba ang order namin para maraming matikman.

Umorder sila ng Chicken Marsala (Php 325), Tenderloin Steak (Php 345), Truffle Pasta (Php 515 ang family size), Spicy Gambas al Ajillo (Php 285), at Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa (Php 325). Pero sa puso ko, Tanigue Steak pa rin ang bida.

For dessert, we had Frozen Brazo de Mercedes (Php 225), Moist Chocolate Cake (Php 195), and Crepe Cake (Php 225). The first is the best! ' Yung crepe cake nga lang, 'di namin gaanong nalasahan. I would rather recommend going to Paper Moon.

After I adored their Tanigue dish, I hope The Frazzled Cook won't have a price increase. Hehe! For our barkada dinner at least, there was another pleasant surprise. Nilibre kami ng balikbayan friends. :D
