Discovering Si.Pud Bar & Grill: A Mixed Bag of Flavors and Fun
The Adventure Begins [ Si.Pud Bar & Grill ]
As someone who loves exploring Bacolod City’s culinary scene, my friends and I—fellow USLS co-teachers- often search for new dining experiences. One evening, without any particular destination in mind, we decided to give Si.Pud Bar & Grill a try. Located at the corner of Tindalo Ave and Hilado Streets, it was a spot we’d heard about but never visited.
First Impressions: Ambiance and Atmosphere of Si.Pud Bar & Grill
Upon arriving, we noticed that Si.Pud wasn’t overly crowded, which was a relief. The ambiance was inviting, with spacious seating and a clean, well-maintained environment, including the restrooms—a detail we appreciated. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, even going the extra mile to take playful photos of us, capturing the joy of our dining experience. At the same time, we dined, which added a fun touch to our evening.
Si.Pud Bar & Grill Menu: Variety and Pricing
As we settled in and browsed the menu, we found various seafood options, along with some crowd favorites like crispy pata and buttered chicken. The pricing struck us as above average but not outrageously so. We decided to go for the Platter, which included calamari, buttered chicken, crispy pata, and rice—all for a promo price of ₱1,499. Considering the crispy pata alone, it seemed like a decent deal.
The Taste Test: Hits and Misses [ Si.Pud Bar & Grill ]
However, the calamari and buttered chicken left much to be desired. Both were bland, and the calamari tasted almost identical to the calamari, making us suspect they were cooked in the same pan, using the same oil. This lack of distinct flavors was a letdown, especially considering the promising reviews from vlogs we’d seen online, which praised the restaurant’s unique flavors and variety of dishes.
Final Thoughts: A Work in Progress
As we wrapped up our meal, the four of us couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. While the service and ambiance were on point, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. We’re not culinary experts, but we know good food when we taste it, and unfortunately, Si. Pud Bar & Grill fell short in that department. This might be a place to approach with caution.
We sincerely hope that management will take our feedback to heart. With a few kitchen adjustments, this place has the potential to be a standout in Bacolod’s dining scene. It remains a spot that we’ve ticked off our list, but one that we may not rush back to until the flavors catch up with the atmosphere. We remain hopeful for its future.
