Lunch Date at RJ's Bulalohan


                                                    
We are scheduled to pay our move in fees for our new home when we decided to go for a spontaneous couple date. After we settle the fees, my husband suggested we drop by RJ's Bulalohan for lunch.

My husband is one of the regular customers for RJ's -- inspite of my stringent reminders that he needs to retrain from eating fatty foods like Bulalo.

My husband ang his colleagues usually drop by the place for lunch after burning some calories from their  basketball game. Since he is restricted to eat Bulalo, my husband tries his best to hide his food escapade at RJ's Bulalohan. 

Unfortunately he always gets caught thru FB. A “lamon” mode post at FB is posted right after some food trip at RJ's.  

The food must be really good for my husband really insisted we have a quick lunch date at  RJ's that day.

        As anticipated my husband ordered their Bulalo Special. On the other hand I had some Ampalaya Con Carne to cut down the fat intake. They have a lot more to offer but since it was just the two of us we just ordered our favorite dishes.

Their Bulalo is really meaty and tender, it was not fatty at all. I guess that is the reason why my husband seems to support RJ's Bulalo. It may not be as perfect as Tagaytay's Bulalo, but it is the next best thing -- if you do not have the time to drive all the way to Tagaytay. The serving was very generous for 279.00 pesos. We are unable to finish the entire bowl as it is good for 3-4 persons. The broth was really beefy but it is never the same with eating Bulalo in Tagaytay – the hot broth is always at its best when it is eaten in a really breezy and cool place.

  Up, Close and Yummy


                                                         

      Fish Sauce and Kalamansi 



The sinful bulalo marrow


The highlight of course is the bulalo marrow which is best eaten with fish sauce and kalamansi. I must say it something to really crave for after an intense workout. As the marrow melts with the fish sauce and sourness of the kalamansi you would want to have more rice to really enjoy the Bulalo experience. :)

RJ's Bulalohan is a must place to visit. Aside from their Bulalo the other food that they offer is really good. Their Ampalaya con carne is not bitter at all. I love it so much,  I even cooked a replica of it a day after our RJ's Bulalo experience. Like the one at RJ's the bitterness is not traceable at all and the blend of the sweetness and saltiness of the sauce is just right. TThey also added in some bell peppers for that aromatic taste and tausi for the authentic taste. But what really made the dish complete is the tender beef strips in oyster sauce.

We were really satisfied after our meal. For desert and pasalubong we just bought some Dunkin Donuts which is just located outside of RJ's.

                                                  

Who says you can't find happiness in small and simple things? :) Not us, as happiness will always be just around the corner.
