Hai Chix and Steaks: Gratinated Fish Fillet (P225)
At first, we thought we were served some mashed potato! That’s how soft the Dory looked. Upon biting into it, I suddenly noticed how this wasn’t just some plain old fish with cream. It was creamy and cheesy, and hid a layer of vegetables beneath it. Combining all 4 ingredients made this dish scrumptious! The cream and cheese perfectly complimented the fish while the vegetables beneath added both flavor and texture to the dish.

Hai Chix and Steaks: Hainanese Chicken Rice (P245)
Some people think Hainanese Chicken is boring, they think they’re nothing special about it, well, some people have been going to the wrong places. At Hai Chiz and Steaks, there’s absolutely nothing boring about their chicken. In fact, fellow writer Mae Ilagan got so into it that she forgot anyone was around as she moaned her way into finishing that chicken. What also makes their Hainanese Chicken is the fact that its BONELESS! Yep, they’ve removed all the bones to make our chicken even more flavorful. So far, they’re the only one I’m aware of who does this. The chicken itself was already addictive, but mix it up with some sauce and you’ve just created some real food porn. And of course, this dish wouldn’t be complete without the Hainanese Rice.

Hai Chix and Steaks Ribeye 650g (P1,950)
Finally my favorite part – the steak! To say their steaks were good is an understatement, because Hai Chix and Steaks serves one of the best I’ve ever had! It was love at first bite. The steak was big and tender with the perfect thickness. Chef Joma shares how he always makes sure his steaks are 2 inches thick, no more no less. I never gave much thought to this until today, 2 inches of beef in every bite was just right! But it doesn’t end there. To make this dish even more flavorful, the fat from the beef was sliced off and made crispy to serve as the toppings. Instead of the commonly used rock salt for flavor, Hai Chix and Steaks uses the juicy fat instead. More over, a special sauce that tasted like butter and lemon is poured over the steak for a the perfect blend of flavors. Put all these three together and you’ve got a foodgasm ready to happen in your mouth.
Hai Chix and Steaks: Ribeye Steak

Hai Chix and Steaks: Ribeye Steak
I was so happy with the Ribeye that I had to go back a week after to try their Porterhouse Steak – 950g(P2,450). If you loved Hai Chix and Steaks Ribeye, you’ll surely want to marry their Porterhouse. It was cooked and served similar to the Ribeye, only it was bigger and more tender. It was definitely heaven in every bite – juicy and succulent, cooked to perfection.
The Porterhouse Steak also comes with a cup of Japanese Steak Rice. Imagine your favorite white rice cooked with a little oil from the steak and topped with some garlic. Mmm… I can already taste it.
Hai Chix and Steaks: Dessert
For dessert, we got to try their Banana Nutella ice cream (P120), Red Velvet ice cream (P120) and Guava Basil sorbet (120). All 3 were good, each with its own unique flavor to bring to the table. The Guava Basil sorbet was a palette cleanser. Something you need to try to refresh your taste buds. The Red Velvet ice cream on the other hand had chunks of red velvet cake which made it all the more flavorsome. Last but not least was the Banana Nutella ice cream – our pick for the night. What more can I say but BANANA NUTELLA. There are no words to describe it. Simply a MUST TRY to cap off your meal.
