Just a few hours ago, I had an extremely fulfilling meal — and I was just taking bites in between schmoozing with the bloggers and resto management.

Texas Roadhouse Grill, with the participation of Pepsi held a sumptuous event at the TRG El pueblo branch last night and offered a wide array of dishes. From soups to salads from surf to turf, and of course, the evening was capped off with a delicious bit of dessert.

The meal commenced with a Tortilla Soup: a hearty starter packed with bits of chicken, corn and ham topped with slivers of crisp and crunchy tortillas. The soup in itself is quite filling, with all of the ingredients packed into a small bowl. Those that are into the Tex-Mex taste, this is a definite must-try.

Of course, what are starters without appetizers? To satisfy the growing hunger, the bloggers were also served the Jesse James Sampler — a platter of buffalo wings and cheese fritters just to whet the appetites.

Then came the main dishes, and my personal faves. I am a big surf and turf fan. And although the dish wasn’t technically a seafood and meat serving, we got both. The Great Ribeye is a best seller at 10 ounces of mouth-watering certified US steak smothered in herbs and spices, served with a side of mashed potatoes in gravy and a hefty serving of mixed veggies.

After the extremely delicious, perfectly grilled steak came another delectable dish — The Shrimp and Salmon Skewers: a hearty dish of three skewers grilled to perfection, with the seafood retaining its juiciness without compromising the taste, on top of a bed of the restaurant’s signature Texas rice. And on the side is a healthy serving of mixed vegetables and lemon butter.

To top the night off, we were served a slice of sin in the guise of the Mighty Oreo Mud Pie: layers of chocolate and coffee ice cream with bits of snickers embedded in it… all on a bed of crunchy oreo crust. And if that isn’t enough, the dessert is drizzled with chocolate sauce. Pure heaven!

If these dishes made your mouth water, you can check out Texas Roadhouse Grill in El Pueblo, Ortigas or Boni High Street.
