MUNCHSTER BITES: Bar-b-King

We were at SM Megamall yesterday when we decided to try Bar-b-King. It was quite disappointing the we chose Bar-b-King over Hainanese Delights for dinner (early dinner! 3pm haha). Lesson learned: Never trust pictures! 
OLD MENU grabbed from http://ph.openrice.com/info/restaurant-menus/filipino-cuisine/bar-b-king.html
Why I felt cheated after eating here... 
1. Some of the prices increased by P10-P20.00 ($0.24-$0.48 USD). 
2. They do not serve java rice, instead they'll give you one cup of garlic rice and plain rice for the unlimited refills. 
3. The soup was too salty, we didn't ask for another refill. 
4. The acclaimed Liempo King is sliced too thin and definitely not worth P135.00 ($3.27 USD).
5. Bee chose spicy liempo- it wasn't spicy at all. He only tasted a bit of spice when he munched on the bone. 

What saved them...

1. Nice staff, a bit slow on the refills but attentive whenever you have a request. 
2. The pork bbq was yummy and soft, you can easily cut through using a spoon. Although I couldn't tell the difference between spicy and sweet because it tasted the same. 
3. The pork liempo was tender as well. 

Will I eat here again? Most likely not but if I do I'd be ordering their Ala Pobre Meal which costs P50.00 only ($1.21 USD). 

Will post the photos soon, the actual food served to us and you be the judge. 

Bite Cost: P50-P200/person ($1.21-$4.84 USD)
Munch Worthy: Not really 
Walker repeat: No. 

I don't intend to destroy the restaurant's reputation, this is just my own opinion based on our experience dining here.
