Food Post: Red Engine Diner

12.17.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

This little diner is located at The Columns in Ayala Avenue.  The first thing you will notice from the outside is this poster of a big burger, which was very effective in making us feel suddenly hungry.

The diner has a loft which serves as the eating area, and the chairs are dressed up in red-and-white leather for that diner’s look.   I am totally digging this look – very 60’s!

The Red Engine Diner offers a mix of appetizers, salads, rice plates, burgers, chicken baskets, steak and ribs and combo meals that are made up of a bit of everything in the menu.    Price ranges from P200 to P500 for each meal.

I chose to try their biggest combo meal, priced at only P249.00 and is already made up of the following:  Classic Fried Chicken, Red Spaghetti, Salad, Garlic Bread and Iced Tea.

Not bad for its price, but the spaghetti was too sweet for my taste.  The fried chicken and salad were good, tough.

AJ went for a rice plate and ordered Pork Belly with BBQ sauce (also priced at P249.00).   It has a sweet, smoky taste and is coated with a generous amount of barbeque sauce which, sad to say, tasted very ordinary.

Overall, there’s nothing extraordinarily appealing in the food we ordered at Red Engine Diner.  The food servings are generous, and I think that’s what we mainly paid for (in short, nakakabusog sa dami but parang hindi rin because you cannot find its distinct taste).

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito

It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋

It's so spacious and so safe in there. I wore double masks (KN95 and fabric mask from @quins.ph) and my favorite scrub cap from @unisol.ph_ with buttons on both sides for the mask ear loops. It kept my ears from hurting and kept my hair intact too. Never mind if I look more like a nurse than a patient here 😁 Safety first over porma 😜
