More Life Dishes at Chili's

I have been eyeing Chilis whenever I dropped by Megamall, I like the place it has a cool young vibe to it, i love the red tiled tables. The whole interiors, actually.  I never had time to dine until last year of December. Some friends from work decided for Chilis, and the rest was history. My favorite from among their appetizers is the Triple Dipper, it is a satisfying combination of 3 delicious  appetizers of buffalo wings, chicken crispers, over buffalo and southwestern eggrolls with sauces for dipping. The trio compliments each other with the best dip sauces and carrot sticks. The buffalo wings is the juiciest out there.

Triple Dipper (php510)

 I was just thrilled when Chilis introduces their new dishes last July 9, 2014,  For the new drink, I ordered for the Sparkling Soda its a mix of strawberry puree and soda. I liked it best with more ice,  the strawberry overpowers the soda which is a good thing for me. I want my drink to be fruity.

Fried Quesadilla Bites (php375)

Fried Quesadilla Bites, golden flour tortilla nibblers stuffed with Southwest chicken and cheese, sprinkled with chopped cilantro and served with chipotle sour cream. If you are craving for some chili goodness, you should order this,  the dip sauce is hot and spicy to go with your main entree. I love the soft, chewy, texture of  quesadilla that goes better with the dip.

Chili’s Bacon and Cheddar Steak (php875)

Those craving for steak should order their Bacon and Cheddar Steak, it is an all-meat succulent steak  topped with bacon and melted cheddar cheese, with a generous amount of mashed potato and veggies (brocolli and carrots) on the side. The steak is medium well, if you want it to be well done, tell your waiter prior to ordering.

Parmesan Chicken or Tilapia

These two are the best dishes I had for the day. First was the  Parmesan Tilapia, the tilapia is locally sourced, the fillet is crunchy outside with Parmesan and Monterey Jack cheese sealing the meat. It is drizzled with chili butter and a tad bit of spring onions. It is best with cilantro rice. The Parmesan Chicken tastes great just the same, I ordered one extra cilantro rice for the chicken.

All three dishes come with a choice of two sides, so you can have “Chili’s your way.” Pick the perfect match to your meal from homestyle fries, corn-on-the-cob, Chili’s cilantro rice and fresh veggies to the staple steamed white rice, mashed potatoes and broccoli spears.

Banana Bread Pudding (php295)

 The best part of the day comes with this dessert!  The new Banana Bread Pudding, topped with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, chopped walnuts and caramel drizzle is divine. It was sweet and addicting, let the vanilla seep in the pudding then bite. It is perfect to cap off with a meal.

Margarita

Well, there’s no place that perfectly encapsulates this experience whatever day of the week than Chili’s, the restaurant that celebrates genuine bonding over good comfort food and real stories throughout its more than 1,400 locations all over the world, including seven branches in the Philippines!

More Life Happens Here!

For guests who have been coming to the American casual dining restaurant since it first opened in the country in 1996, dining here has become much more than the bold Southwestern flavors it offers. It’s a place where young professionals hang out after office hours, where friends meet up and talk about sports, and where families host celebrations and parties to mark significant milestones and occasions.

And because there’s nothing like good food to connect people and bring them closer, Chili’s aptly launches its new tagline, More Life Happens Here (MLHH) with new dishes meant to be savored and shared with family and friends.

These four simple words embody the memorable dining experiences in every Chili’s visit. More Life signifies everyone’s need to connect and belong -- whether it’s about a particular food that brings back feel-good memories of home, a drink that reminds of a happy occasion, or a celebration that draws loved ones together.

“It gives us joy to be witnesses to every bonding and every celebration that happens from table to table—defining the true Chili’s experience.  This is the essence of our new tagline, More Life Happens Here,” says Chili’s Philippines marketing manager Laine de Jesus-Vallar.


Chili’s Your Way

Part of the signature Chili’s experience is the way guests feel special as soon as they are welcomed by the server and seated behind the familiar tables, with interiors that evoke modern Americana against hints of Southwestern influences.
