Meat Plus

In 1992, during the height of duty free shopping in Subic,  Meat Plus was selling only frozen steaks.    In 1994, they added toys to their line up.  Then in 1996, Tita Apples had the idea of grilling the steaks for the customers.  She started off with just a home griller and a rice cooker.  They charged $ 1.00 as a cooking charge.  In the year 2000, they opened TENDER BOBS in Manila which is also a steak place but a bit more upscale.  They now have 3 locations.  In 2008, they are still in Subic and doing very well!  They must be doing something right.  

We always pass by Meat plus but never get to eat there because it is always full.  I guess it is full because it is good food at a very reasonable price.  Value for money.  But this trip, we decided to use our connections and make a reservation with one of the owners, Tita Apples.  And Thanks to Tito Paquito and Tita Pinky ( owners also ) who were there that day for watching over us and for making sure we had their yummy dessert. We enjoyed our lunch!  

Notice how full the place is.  Even the take out counter has long lines! Tito Paquito said that during weekends it is always full but they are noticing now that even weekdays, it is also getting full.  Steaks are really the “in” thing now but at MEAT PLUS, it started many years ago.

You can buy your steak and have it cooked.

This was the rib eye. Very good!!

We asked the waiter for a recommendation and he said that the MEAT PLUS Burger was the bestseller.  So almost everyone ordered this.  It was a very simple looking burger but it was really good.  And for the price of P 110.00  ONLY!  It is a double burger with cheese in the middle! YUMMY!!!  You can just line up and take this out if you prefer to take it home.   It also has a meal which comes with drinks and french fries for P 160.00.   The desserts were really good!!!!!!!! Make sure to order it ala mode. The ice cream was so good, I forgot to ask what it was.  The Mango caramel!!!! Yum! and the Apple pie ala mode!
