Red Engine Diner

Nel Tibo

We had the angus beef burger and an assortment of sides (onion rings, chicken strips and fries). The serving is big and the burger could pass for sharing with the sides if not too hungry. I didn't like the cook of the burger though - not well done so the patty tasted and smelled raw for me.

I was extremely disappointed about my first (and only) visit to Red Engine Diner at Sky Ranch in Tagaytay.  Standing outside the restaurant, they had beautiful photos of the food they served inside, so based on this alone we decided to dine there.  I went for a chicken teriyaki meal and mozzarella sticks.  Imagine my surprise when such a simple dish as chicken teriyaki could taste so bad!  The chicken was so incredibly salty I could barely eat it.  It seems like they over-marinate their meats.  It also contained chunks of fat and pieces of tough chicken.  I would rather eat chicken from a fast food restaurant like KFC than this place.  On to the mozzarella sticks, absolutely the most bland tasting thing ever (even with the salsa, which was bland as well).  They bread their mozzarella sticks so thickly that it overpowers any taste you can get from the cheese.  I have attached two pictures of the meal that I had there.  If anybody wants to try these meals and confirm with me how disappointing they are, at least I'll have someone to back me up.  While we were there, the restaurant was completely empty inside, whereas all the restaurants beside this place were full of people.  Seems like people know the food isn't very good here.  By the way, I gave this a 1.5 rating because at least the fresh mango juice was to die for!  Very, very delicious and I'd go back just for it.  Also the restaurant had a beautiful outdoor view of Sky Ranch.
