Floyd's Famous BBQ now gives Ilonggos more pleasure in enjoying it's mouthwatering pork and chicken barbecue as it opens it's newest branch at the Ayala Techno Hub. The first restaurant to open in the complex, it now positions itself as the place to be in this part of the night life centrale of Iloilo City. It's just a few strides from the Boardwalk Complex and a mere 5 minute walk from Smallville, in no time, Floyd's will surely be a melting pot of good food and good chill out spot.
With sleek and modern fixtures for the the exterior, which is good for the smoking and happy drinkers crowd, I find cool to "rise above the crowd" with those specially designed tables and stools that gives a "bar" like feel. It's also a good way to street your legs after a tiresome day doubled with the good food and drinks.
Going inside, one still finds the same set of furnishing but has a more subdued ambiance just right for those who will enjoy a cozy lunch or dinner. There are two, almost identical counters, serving as order and serving counters that if customers aren't paying attention, they might go to the wrong counter to get their order - which I personally witnessed yesterday. Good thing the order counter has the menu board, as it should be.
And speaking of the menu, I noticed some additions at the same time "minuses" to their items compared with their Atrium Mall branch. But what caught my attention more was the "fine print" under each Famous BBQ Meals ala carte menu which says [can you read it?] - Unlimited Java Rice. Now that's new and they also have unlimited drinks to go with it.
So what else to order at Floyd's Famous BBQ but their, yes, famous barbecue to 2 pieces always comes as a default order for me. Still the same delicious taste but I noticed a small difference on how the barbecue looked. But it didn't matter since I gorged it all down with two servings of java rice and a very spicy dipped I personally concocted from kutitot, calamansi, vinegar and a little soy sauce.
The barbecue chicken looked alike that of Mang Inasal, but without the barbecue stick and with the Java rice, you know, won't eat it "kinamot style". Instead enjoy it at your own way and your own pace. I find this particular chicken a lot better than Mang Inasal though - more flavour,s a lot juicier and smells good too. Despite not being my order, I think I ate a big chunk of this chicken barbecue - lol.
With a new branch in a new location, Floyd's Famosu BBQ is set to conquer our taste buds with delectable offerings in a more ambient way - cozy dining with a bit of hip and style. And there's a lot to choose from their menu and all you need to do is to check this new branch at the Ayala Techno Hub and share your own foodie experience about this famous barbecue.
