MC Sling Bar & Grill

If you are looking for a place that serves good food, great wine selections and good mixed drinks, then I suggest that you visit MC Sling Bar & Grill, located in Ortigas Home Depot.

Started their operations in December 2009, MC Sling has been a chill out place for yuppies. Owned by Maria Corazon Eclipse, she designed the recipes of the bar being a food fan herself. And since Maricor is also in the wine business, wine is also served by them. This adds up a touch of sophistication to the place, as my friend Honey said. Anyway let’s start digging! :D



Beef Salpicao – Php170
Concocted with a secret base sauce, the taste is somehow comparable to bistek but this is sautéed in lots of garlic! Perfect as pulutan or viand matched with a cup of rice.

Chicken Wings – Php180
When we got to the place, we asked the waiters on what food would they recommend. And in unison, they said the Chicken Wings. Cooked like buffalo wings, 10pcs of sweet and spicy chicken is served per order. It comes with mayonnaise dripped with their special chicken sauce.

Double Pork Chop – Php170
Two roasted pork chops drizzled with a very nice herbed gravy. The meat is tender and very tasty. You can taste the rosemary and sage on the gravy which makes it stands out from the other gravies that I’ve tried. You should try eating the meat together with the tomatoes. It’s fantastic!


Shrimp Pasta – Php180
A generous serving that can be shared by two. It taste like puttanesca but without the capers. The bell pepper goes well the fresh tomatoes and shrimps. Served with generous amount of parmesan cheese and slices of wheat bread. For its price, it’s very reasonable.


Jalapeño Cheese Sticks – 170
If you’ll visit MC Sling, you should definitely try this. I was actually hesitant to try this at first because this might be too hot for my taste buds. But on the contrary, this is the bomb! Breaded jalapeño chili peppers stuffed with melted cheese, drizzled with mayo and fried to that delightful crispiness! Craving? :)

  
Red wine was served after our delightful meals. A Viña Albali 2003 from Spain. Honestly, I don’t have much knowledge about wines and I’m happy that the owner was giving us some facts last night. The darker the wine, the more bitter it is. And that white wine is older than red because red wines become white or clear in color once it reached a certain age. Amazing.

And of course, MC Sling will not be called MC Sling without the Slings.

For those of you alcoholics out there like me. You should try their Florida Sling which costs Php110 a glass or get a pitcher for Php350. A mixture of gin, pineapple juice and cherry brandy. Sweet, but you’ll feel the alcohol kicking in afterwards! And for those of you beer drinkers, like me (again), you can get a bucket of 6 for Php190 with free peanuts or prawn crackers. Now go there and start drinking! 

Thanks MC Sling for having us! That was one fun fun night! :)
