Food Post: Php99 Meals at Gilligan’s

11.27.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I had our dinner earlier at Gilligan’s (Robinson’s Galleria branch).  We were actually curious with their P99.00 meals that comes with unlimited rice, and since I haven’t tried it yet (I usually prefer Dencio’s for Pinoy food), we decided to give it a try.

We didn’t set our expectations high with our orders, thinking that they would probably scrimp on the servings because of the P99 meal price.

But Gilligan’s proved us wrong!   The servings were plenty, and our food choices were all good.  Here are what we just had:

Pork Sisig.   I’d say this one is better than Dencio’s.    The chicaron was very crunchy!

Sweet and Spicy Squid.   Very flavorful and surprisingly good!  A definite must-try!

Side order:  Pinakbet.    This one is okey, but Dencio’s version is much, much better.

We pretty much enjoyed at meals at Gilligan’s and we’ll definitely come back to try their other staples.    Nothing beats Pinoy food, talaga!

Aside from good food, we also enjoyed the ambiance of the place which is very clean and nicely decorated.  Side comment lang, I don’t think their purely Filipino cuisine jibes well with the nautical decors:

By the way, I am really happy with my photos here, and the secret to these good shots is no less than a camera tripod stand!   AJ thought of buying this when he saw one at Saizen for only P85.00!

The mini-tripod stand is also adjustable in height, how cool!

I strongly advise those with digital cameras to get a mini-tripod stand for clearer and professional-looking shots.  I am absolutely happy with mine and I realized now that I really have to learn how to hold a camera properly before I even think of upgrading.  But right now, the tripod is a big help in stabilizing my shots.

    Wow! What a nice coincidence! You should also try the one at Buddy’s. Yun ang the best pa rin for us.

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
