My wife and I went to this place called Grill 99 last September, somewhere in Bagumbayan, Angeles City. The place was similar in concept as Ventura grill in Marisol Subdivision.
The ambience was good. There were 3 areas to dine in. We took the middle area (garden) as the left wing area has lots of mosquitos and we wouldn't want to spoil the night slapping our skin while eating.
We ordered Baby Back Ribs, Grilled Liempo and Tokwa't Baboy. I was on a diet back then and told my wife "Yung tokwa't baboy sa yo yun ah". She then said "tikman mo muna, baka naman ikaw makaubos nyan eh. hehehe".
So we ate. The Ribs were a classic. Nicely plated with the mashed potato at the bottom and caramelized onion on top of the meat. It was tender and tasty. I liked the sauce that drizzled in the meat. It reminded me of meals that one of my uncles used to make when I was a kid. It was so good, I chewed through it in order to savor all the flavors. I was satisfied.

My wife took the liempo. Well, the meat was the usual. But compared it to the ribs, the preparation was pale in comparison. It was ordinary. What really annoyed me was the gravy they made for it. It tasted like lard. They may have used the oil from all the meat being grilled and added flour and flavoring to make it gravy. Well, I think that's bad practice. The first broth would have made it better than the oil. That's a tip to them. Pardon my being critic.

Finally, the curd. Hmmm.... Well, the best description I could probably use is BIG. I didn't expect this big a serving for an appetizer. Whoah! And it tasted good. The dip was tangy and spicy. The tokwa was good while hot. The pork... well, not to many of them there, but it complemented it nicely. I ended up finishing the plate as my wife gave up after claiming she took in too much. Oh well, there goes the diet....

What I really liked about the place is the people.... like parking for example. They would make sure that you smile coming in and smile when you leave.

Im a kapampangan and I ate there frequently....the food is great! period!
LOL! Di po ako may-ari ng grill 99, which by the way is now Tiger Grill.
I agree that the steaks are not the ones you would clamor for in fine dining restaurants (which is why I did not order one).
Anyway, kanya kanyang taste buds yan. Maybe talagang pang fine dining ka and di ka pwede sa ganitong lugar.
Kawawa ka naman and you have to endure something against your will. Peace!
