Hello amazing followers... if I even have any left. Well
folks it's been a very long time. Time I've spent stuffing my face and not
sharing with you guys. However don't worry, be happy, the time has arrived for
another food post. Got plenty to talk about (I think). I'll start you off with TORO’s
Manchester. TORO’s claimed and has
proved to those who have eaten there that they provide tasty steaks that you’ll
never forget. The question is, how they will face against the mighty manly man.
Lbh I'm too easy on people.
So post Eid me and me pals ended up sitting at TORO’s for a
nice meal. They got us seated quickly and we managed to get our order in pretty
quickly too. (When I say quickly I actually mean 15 mins, as it took me this
long to decide between the T-Bone and the sirloin). I did rub my finger across
the table and chairs (proper critic like) and found some dust, but ey up, what
you don’t know can’t hurt you. And not long after we ordered, the food turned
up. Around 15 mins I say they took, even though it was busy. Now that is something
to be proud of. Can’t keep a man waiting.
So out came my steak sizzling on chips and pasta accompanied
by a mocktail. Visually appealing and very posh I have to say. So I dug in, the
meat was well cooked just as I asked and had good texture and taste. The
mushroom sauce was nice too (maybe not as nice as a few others I've had). But I think the pasta was too bland for my
liking as you have to scrounge for every little bit of the mushroom sauce to
get some flavour once you’re steak is finished. However overall the combination
of the drinks, steak and visual appearance of the food works well and is very
appealing (apart from the price). I actually want to go back!!!
So time to get to the technical stuffs… First of all, I have
no complaints about customer service, we were seated quickly and everything ran
smoothly. So they've already achieved 10/10 for that. In terms of cleanliness, I did realise the
food on the floor from the previous customers and don’t forget the dust too.
Overall the place looked clean and tidy, but these little things matter and
need to cleaned. It’s all part of the experience, therefore they only get a
7/10 for hygiene. The price score is important for many people; even though it
cost us around £17 per person, the price was fair for what you get. I've been
to other places which have charged a lot more for just a steak and standard
drink, never mind the mocktails we ordered. So this place racks a 8/10 (why not
10? Because I like bargains, this wasn't!). The appearance gets 10/10 (you’ll
see in the pictures) and taste gets 8/10 as they need to improve the size and taste
of the steak sauce that came with the stuff.
Finally the main question! The question that hasn't let you
folks sleep all week, the fireworks of the party. Did I dribble enough to wet
my clothes? Did I lick my fingers 3 times after id finished? WAS THE FOOD MANLY
ENOUGH? The answer to most the questions is no. I was still hungry after I finished,
and like the fat sod I am, I popped into Deli sweet centre for some freshly
cooked Jalebis. So just 7/10 for that.
Keep following the blog and share it with your friends... lots more to come soon.
Thanks
A Manly Man
