our tango in SANGO!

Shangri-La mal is just really one of our favorite places to go to. After a loooooooooooong time, Jhing and I were finally able to visit the place again and stroll a bit while we wait for our movie to start.

SO...I think it was an hour or an hour and a half of time to kill and we really weren't there to shop. :)

Since my boss suggested (or spruced up) Sango Burger and said it's a must-try, Thank God he was into the same thing that i was at that moment and we hopped to Sango Burger at the 5th Floor of Shang to see if it'll live up to our expectation.

So we ordered our drinks...

Honey Dew Melon for Jhing and Milk Tea for me. The milk tea was so-so and their honey dew melon soda tastes like the DYNAMITE candy (melon flavor).

In all fairness, they have free wifi!! because unlike Ayala or SM, Shangri-La does not give you a mall-wide free wifi.

Since it's made to order, they give you magazines or you can surf the net while you wait for your food. Makes you forget how hungry you are...
The wifi was free but we didn't use it because we preferred talking and we tried to imagine how the food will turn out plus we people-watched a bit).


 FINALLY! Our food arrived. Lo and behold the awesome burger and meat-sauce and the yummy fries that you order separately (but is served as a "combo).

Jhing's BLT Burger. You can see the tiny patty vs. the GIANT TOMATO SLICE. 




Well, the FRIES were delicious. It was a cross between NYFD and Mcdo. The salt content was just right and was perfect with the ketchup. Although their fries are fat, it wasn't as oily as i expected it to be plus I couldn't stop munching on them until i realized that the pack is almost empty.

The burger, on the other hand, didn't do well on my scale because it lacked the OOMPH and MMM factor I usually look for. The meat sauce was a bit bland and tastes like normal saucy meat and not as salty as I'd want it but the serving size is definitely a plus for a P145 burger since i sprained my jaw trying to bite the whole thing.

We wanted to spice it up a bit but their "chili powder" wasn't spicy enough or was maybe stale because we almost poured the whole bottle on our food and we didn't even break a single sweat. A few slices of Jalapeno peppers did the trick and gave a bit of kick for a price of (just) P15. I thought maybe i should've went for the Master Chili Burger or brought my own chili powder (c/o Pepper Lunch) to get the hot satisfaction i wanted.

Jhing and I vowed to give it a second chance because we love the drinks and the fries. It could be just the case of ordering the wrong food.

Next time, hopefully, we tango to Sango and dance our way out with much full bellies and 100% sated cravings. :)
