Where can you get great gumbo in Metro Manila? The answer is at Rob’s in Newport Mall at Pasay.
Conceptualized by chef Robby Goco of CYMA and Souv!, the beautifully appointed restaurant, with interiors done in teal, leather, different shades of wood and generous touches of gold, serves Southern American dishes and cocktails.
Their specialties are what the acronym Rob’s stands for: ribs, oysters, and bourbon. While this trifecta does get served in the restaurant in delicious ways that will be further described below, one can’t discount the other dishes in its menu like the aforementioned gumbo, seafood pan roast, or the Awwww Shucks, among other things. “Every time there’s an event or a party, what they ask for is this kind of food. This is the kind of food that I serve to my friends and family.
Whether you’re a family wanting to enjoy some surf and turf or an individual coming in from a long flight, Rob’s offers various dishes and cocktails designed to give hearty comfort. It’s the most straightforward of salads with fresh crab, shrimp, and lettuce, dressed with Louise dressing, which is like a tangier thousand island dressing with some heat. This platter was a gorgeous plate of raw seafood.
8. Rob’s Hot BBQ Sour and Strawberry Tea Smash. We were served five bourbon-based cocktails during the launch, but this author’s favorite was these two. The former being a fun take on the bourbon sour — tangy and spicy. The latter is the fruity cocktail you drink after a long day to refresh your palate and your mood. It’s strawberry, Campari, bourbon and Sagada tea—think fruit tea but with bourbon. And the good news is that both drinks go well with everything on this list.
