This actually hails from Malaysia, a country you don't automatically associate with ribs and sausages. But, don't knock it til you've tried it. I have enjoyed their Uptown Mall and MOA branches before, but this time we were at the newly opened Ayala Malls the 30th branch for a double celebration. There were 22 of us sitting in the middle of the restaurant. 4 of us came in late and the rest of the group were already enjoying the sesame shrimp salad and the spicy chicken wings. I honestly didn't like either appetizer, so our mini group decided to order chili cheese fries. Big groups are made for Morganfields because of their shareable platters. This comes with a mixture of ribs, sausages and sides, depending on your preference. Being meat lovers, we ordered the Ribs Sampler and each element included in the platter was enjoyable. Being a big group, we also ordered their garlic sticky bones which was just delicious! Their Iberico Baby Back Ribs were likewise a hit-- we tried both Jim Bean and Jack Daniels version (as a base for the sauce) and I do prefer the Jack Daniels version. But I don't think you can go wrong with either. Everybody had their own drink and I enjoyed my mojito and then a beer. I love how varied their drink selection is... Problem was the chili cheese fries appetizer we ordered came right after all the ribs were served, which was very very annoying. After multiple follow-ups, no less. They could have at least warned us that it takes like an hour to cook fries or something. Mind you, it wasn't that good either. Skip the above mentioned appetizers and go for their potato skins or crab & spinach dip instead. Those are pretty delicious.... Note that their really expensive kids meal is pretty sad looking. The toddler didn't eat much of it actually, leaving more than half of the hotdog untouched. That's sad for P195, because the cheaper happy meal beats it anyday. We ended the very heavy meal with their Volcanic chocolate lava cake. Desserts are not their strong suit, to be honest. I would give the ribs a solid four... No question about it! I also appreciate the very varied menu offerings. But the problem was the service, the late appetizer and the constant follow ups. The relative "newness" of the establishment might have something to do with that, so hopefully it improves with time. What's not so easy to change and yet very bothersome was how hot the place was. Everyone was sweating, as evidenced by our group picture. The toddler we were with had to be changed because his clothes were drenched with sweat. No too comfortable inside the restaurant especially in this weather. We didn't have this problem at their other branches...
