Meat Plus : Carnivores' Best Friend

My visit in Subic would not be complete without going to this very unassuming restaurant, Meat Plus located inside SBMA. Not only can you get steaks at such affordable prices, it is also conveniently located near the duty free shops :D

plenty of tables available on a weekday afternoon

You have the option to pick among the frozen steaks on display and have it cooked by the staff for a fee. Each pack shows the weight and price of the streak.

Or order a steak meal complete with rice and vegetables. 

They do offer combo meals as well.

Desserts and salad options too. 

Since it has been a long time since my last visit, I figured I'd indulge by getting an Angus Steak from the fridge and having it cooked. Mine was about 350 grams which cost P425. With cooking fee, the total cost was P525 which ain't that bad considering how much they charge for a steak in Manila. 

Angus Steak P425 + cooking charge

Rice, vegetables and gravy is free when you order the steak. I asked mine to be cooked medium-well but sadly, it turned out only medium. Since I was hungry, I didn't return this anymore to be recooked. I was kind of disappointed because they didn't even seasoned the steak and it tasted blah. No amount of gravy (which was also blah, btw), salt, A1 steaksauce could make it more appetizing. Maybe it has something to do with being frozen then grilled immediately that changes the taste/texture of the meat. 

Tenderloin Steak Meal - P280

My friend Ana had the Tenderloin Steak Meal which was about 200 grams. When I had a piece, I found it to be really juicy, tender and tasty. The cashier told us they use native meat for this. Had a twinge of regret for paying so much for my own meal.

Bomb - P70

The Bomb is this cup of thinly sliced potatoes with garlic, cheese and milk. A messy potato gratin, if you will. In theory, this sounds really good but execution was a bit off since there was too much milk that the whole thing became watery and too little cheese. 

Burger Meal - P225

The bun is bigger than the burger patty ;p but the fries were great. Didn't taste this one but my co-worker said it was okay. 

Turtle Pie - P120 (not sure about the price)

Just by looking at it my thought was that it wasn't a Turtle Pie since it must have lots of nuts and caramel somewhere between the crust and frozen filling. Nevertheless, it was very good. A cross between chocolate mousse that has been very very chilled and soft ice cream. Yumm!

decorated plates

Right across Freeport Exchange Duty Shop

Final Verdict?

Definitely have a visit to this restaurant whenever you're in Subic. There are still plenty of good things to eat but you might just re-think in ordering steaks from the freezer. The combo meals are good and best of all, affordable. Have some dessert, too! Expect to shell out P250-P300 each.
