On the same day after we went for the salmon sashimi spree at Hokkaido Ichiba, we were quite full and didn't feel hungry again until around 8 pm, so we decided to have something to share in T.G.I. Friday's. There was a queue when we got to the restaurant in The Gardens, but we didn't have to wait very long until we got a seat. This is in contrast to the insane no reservation policy at Chili's which has a waiting time of up to one hour sometimes.
We ordered the Sizzling Chicken Fajita to share. Previously, we had fajitas from Las Carretas and wrote about it here before.
Our food was served rather fast, and there is definitely no false advertizing on the sizzling part. The sliced cajun chicken on top of grilled peppers and onions was served on a hot plate. The picture does no justice to the presentation as taking a whiff of the fragrant cajun-laced aroma coming from the steam is simply mouth-watering.
The sizzling chicken came with the bunch of sides - shredded mozzarella cheese, guacamole dip, pico salsa, and sour cream. Yum... The colorful combination just makes me drool.
The dish also came with four pieces of warm tortilla. Mexicans like to mix all their food when they eat. The general idea would be to stuff as much as you can into the tortilla before you dig in. So, we placed a few pieces of chicken slices on a piece of warm tortilla, add the whole bunch of good stuff into it and wrap them all up. For some, such a diverse mixture would appear to be gross. I don't know how, but the Mexicans seem to get it just right.
The meal was not too filling, just sufficient for the 2 of us who wanted to have a light dinner. The restaurant was quite dark, but the staff were extremely casual and friendly. It is a good place to have a birthday celebration with a bunch of crazy friends (their staff will help in singing), but not so conducive if you are looking for a quiet and romantic dining place.
Verdict
The sides in TGIF is a little bit better compared with Las Carretas but the grilled cajun chicken from Las Carretas is simply better. All in all, it is not easy to separate them and will depend on the person eating and probably the chef's mood on that day.
