The Experience

Last February (sorry for the really late post), Kirsten and I decided to spend valentines in the newly-opened TGI Friday's branch at Eastwood. It was time well spent (and money less spent)!
Like any Friday's branch, the staff were very accommodating. The feel was very homy with a more modern feel compared to their older branches. To start off, we claimed a "solo" serving of Ball Park Nachos which I got free from coupons that came with my The Bistro Club (TBC) Gold Card. 
The serving size isn't really solo. It's actually good for two hungry souls. Our server was also kind enough to give us extra cheese and salsa for free. 

Free nachos and free extras... what more could you ask for? Well there's actually more!
We got two Friday's favorites for our main course: Cajun Chicken Fingers and Jack Daniel's Pork Chop. Their Chicken Fingers is one of my favorite allergens! It comes great with fries, honey mustard sauce, and a dose of anti allergy medication.

The JD Pork was just okay. We like their regular pork chop better (with a slice of pineapple on top). It was a different experience though as the meat was treated with Jack Daniel's liquor, thus the unique 'hit'.


As our bill was over PhP 500, we were entitled to a 20% discount with my TBC Gold Card. But wait, there's more! We also got a PhP 250 gift card because it's valentines! Now beat that!
Plus, one of their staff was kind enough to take a picture of us with their giant heart balloon decor. Indeed, this is a Valentine's Day to remember.
