I always see Meat Depot whenever I pass-by Banawe and judging from its name and from the look of it outside, I always thought that Meat Depot is just a store where you can get your meats, but I was wrong. It's like a dampa but instead of seafood, you'll shop for Meat! . I got the chance to dine at Meat Depot because a website friend invited us to their blogger's event.

Meat Depot has been one of the places I was always curious about whenever we pass by Banawe, luckily we've been invited to see what's inside and let me share the details with you. First off, Meat Depot was established in June 2014 with the purpose of bringing quality meats closer to consumers for food institutions and household, and cooked meats for hungry diners. Meat Depot is a butcher shop and a kitchen on the other.In Meat Depot you get to choose in their wide variety of meat, fresh, chilled and frozen. You can also customize the cut you want in their butcher station. The also have imported meats like Wagyu, Ribeye and the like. Plus if you crave for Sarangani Bay products they have it here as well. Samgyupsal at home is possible with Meat Depot, they have a while freezer dedicated for these meats and these are a lot!ANGUS RIB EYE (BLACK MOUNTAIN)I personally tasted the Medium Rare one and I love how tender the meat is plus the gravy and mashed potato is spot on! I will definitely order this one again!LIEMPOOMG their Liempo is a must try!!! I'm telling you this one is different from all the Liempo you've tasted before. The meat is grilled to perfection and the marinate is SPOT ON. Perfect to pair with their spicy vinegar.PORK CHOPAnother heavenly meat to try, this one is soaked in their signature marinate and grilled tenderly!For the paluto you can choose either rice or mashed potato and mushroom gravy or spicy pepper.SMOKED BANGUSPerfectly smoked and salted milkfish from Sarangani Bay, yet soft and juicy in texture. It's smoked specially and carefully, cooked twice for maximum flavor impact.MARINATED BANGUSPremium boneless milkfish from Sarangani Bay marinated to perfection in the classic blend of fresh black pepper, garlic, salt and vinegar.For the paluto the 100 peso charge is inclusive of rice, egg and vinegar.Overall:FOOD - So far from what we have tasted everything tasted so good, the marination was spot on.PRICE - reasonably fair because it still is quality meat and some are also imported. For dining the 100 pesos paluto charge is alright.SERVING - Servings are big and hindi ka lugiAMBIANCE - It has that industrial interiors, the palce is also well ventilatedPARKING - They only have a few spaces in front and they are sharing it with other tenants as well, but you can easily commute to this area.

Good value for money and you know what you're paying forStep 1: Choose your meat from the refrigerator. It's clearly packaged indicating type of meat (porterhouse, ribeye, etc), the number of grams, and the equivalent price. Check the meat for either more or less fat, depending on your preferebceStep 2: at the counter, get the piece of paper and indicate your name, the type of meat, how you want it cooked (eg medium rare), the sauce (spicy pepper or mushroom and gravy) and the sides (I like their mashed potatoes!)Step 3: Pay at the counterStep 4: EATING TIME! Water and other sauces are at the self-service stationPersonally, I actually really like their porkchop and liempo (even more than their steaks)! They're marinated well, juicy and so much cheaper haha! Having said that, if you're hankering for steak, I'd recommend the following with the given cooking method:- Porterhouse, cooked medium. Sauce: Spicy pepper- Angus ribeye, cooked medium rare. Sauce: Mushroom and gravy
