Brazil Brazil was a favorite of mine back in college days. The first branch ever put up is located is Powerplant Mall and I would travel from DLSU Taft to Makati just to have lunch here. I remember bringing Padi, a visiting friend from General Santos, at this Rotisserie and he really enjoyed the experience of getting your meat served to your table freshly grilled.
Since April 25 is a significant date for my mom and she didn’t have a date, I asked her out for a date –my treat of course. I had Bubba tag along with us too. The dinner plan was initially set at Chelsea, but at 830pm, we were the fifth one on the waiting list so we decided to can it and hopped over the colorful and bright lights of the Brazil signage.
Not only are Brazilian girls well liked in the country, Filipinos have also embraced Brazil Brazil, the popular Rotisserie restaurant, with so much gusto. First, Pinoys absolutely love buffets. 2nd, it gives a totally different dining experience. The restaurant dropped its echo so now it’s known as simply Brazil.
Rotisserie is a way of cooking popularized by Brazil where a rotating device that contains a spit with prongs is used. It is a style of roasting or slow grilling where meat is skewered on a spit and revolves over open flame.
It is my first time to eat at Brazil’s Serendra branch. It basically has the same interior design as the one in Rockwell. To capture the culture of Brazil, walls are decorated with vibrant paintings of flowers and masks. A mahogany-type display case exhibits their wine collection. The orange walls actually make the dining room brighter. But the center of attention is the magnanimous column/pillar that plays as the buffet table for the pasta, salad and desserts.
I have to specially mention Roger, who is part of the wait staff, because he provided an outstanding service. Even if it was near their closing time on a busy Friday, his enthusiasm to be of service is impeccable. Quick, efficient and overall a great service was all we got from he who is named Roger. He was highly attentive and very observant. He knew exactly when to do cha-cha and he just comes and go. If there’s a plate need to be changed, he’s right there. I didn’t bring cash so I asked if they accept EPS card and instead of only giving me a flat NO, he gave me directions to where a BPI ATM machine is. I was also amazed how swift the girls who serve the meat move… I guess it takes real training to make it automatic to hold the knife down when moving from table to table.
Brazil serves different kinds of meat: porkloin, hanging tender, frankies, squid, spareribs, etc. They even have grilled banana and pineapples –which is my favorite! Grilled fruits are really delicious!
It’s such a great feeling to treat my mom to a dinner date, without the two rascals.
