Double Date with Kenny and Bill

When Kenny Rogers announced this promo, I was excited to try it out since I love Kenny Rogers' (probably) healthy selections. My mom and I decided to have an afternoon date at the Matalino St. branch. My concern with this is that the food that you could buy one get one free are the types of food that are not Kenny's specialties and probably won't be that good. Nobody (that I know) goes to Kenny for their pastas or sandwiches. *Spoiler alert: I was right* 

Meatball Spaghetti

We ordered the Meatball Spaghetti because I love meatball spaghetti and I've been craving some recently. You could actually choose a different snack variant as your freebie as long as it is of equal or lesser value. Mom chose the same because she wants pasta and the Meatball Spaghetti seemed to be the lightest option. Overall it was so-so. It wasn't offensive but it's not something I'd crave. The sauce was okay with the right amount of sourness I want in my spaghetti sauce. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The problem was the meatballs. The meatballs were supposed to be the star but it failed miserably. It was tough which I find weird for a meatball. This meatball would make Chef Ramsay weep, methinks.

Ranch Pork Quesadilla

We ordered the Ranch Pork Quesadilla because we wee curious about it and it looks good. At first bite, it was a punch of flavor and the salsa goes well with it. After a few more bites the garlic became so overpoering that I couldn't finish it all. This is not something I can eat all on my own and must be shared with others. Would I eat this again? Only if I didn't have better options.

Sea Salt Caramel Javakula

Since SBC is just beside Kenny, I decided to get my drinks there. I ordered the Sea Salt Caramel Javakula because Salt and Caramel are keywords that prompt the order immediately reflex in my brain. I usually think SBC drinks are too sweet but this one was just right. I didn't get to try the version of Starbucks so I can't compare but it was good and the balance of salty and sweet was done just right. All flaws this drink might have were forgiven and forgotten because of the adorable candy starfish on it.

I decided to keep him and name him Bill.

Overall, the food we had was so-so. I don't see myself craving any of the food we ordered. I sorta expected that it wouldn't be that good because the items on promo aren't specialties of Kenny Rogers. Couldn't say I didn't hope either. It was a good experience still because of the savings we had. 4 dishes all in all plus one Javakula were all under 500 pesos. And Bill made everything better so it's all good :)
