The Experience
After craving for steak for quite some time, Kirsten and I decided to try Kangaroo Jack. This Aussie-themed resto did not let us down.


Kirsten ordered their steak, pasta, and soup combo. It even had fries with it! It was indeed a steal at PhP 165.

The mushroom soup got in first. Kirsten did not like it much but for me it was great! It had this creamy chowder-like texture that I love.

Kirsten loved the red pasta as it was more on the sour side (similar to that of Bigoli). The steak that came with it was a common denominator for us. It was tender and tasty! The serving portions were also great for the price.

Finally, we had hickory ribs in honey bourbon sauce. I never knew honey works well with grilled meat. The corn and mashed potato that came with it were so-so but this sweet treat made my day!
