Food FAIL: Red Ribbon Spinach Soup

Yesterday my dad was craving for Dinuguan, a local stew made of pork blood and meat. We immediately thought of the newly-opened Red Ribbon branch near our place, so we got there in a jif. We ordered Dinuguan for my dad, and a pan-grilled Porkchop and Spinach soup for The Shala Girl. My dad's food came in in less than 5 minutes, while I had to wait for 10 minutes for my meal. I was getting impatient because I was really hungry. Being the Shala Girl that I am, I followed up my order and sort-of demanded for the crew to serve my soup first.

And so they did. This is how my soup looked like when they placed it on our table:



GRIME GREEN AT ITS WORST. I thought they just don't do food presentations well, but the taste of it was so wrong. I took a spoonful of what I expected was good, and right then I wanted to take it out of my delicate mouth. It was Pesto sauce with additional lemon juice and water. I remember clearly that they also served Spinach soup a few years back, and I tried it in their SM branch nearby. It was flavorful, that my mom had three servings. So now I got surprised why their Spinach soup suddenly became pesto in water.

Bottomline is, it was awful. Really awful. I only took 3 spoonfuls, and that was it. My tastebuds couldn't take it anymore!

Red Ribbon please improve your recipe on this. The soup gives more premium to your menu so PLEASE improve the quality of the food that you are serving. Don't worry, I still love your heavenly mamon. I have yet to try the new chocolate cake. I'm hearing negative feedback though...
