Winging it at Bistro M: A Review of Miramar Hotel's Unlimited Wings, Fries and Rice

 

The art deco hotel built in 1932: Miramar Hotel in Roxas Boulevard

Craving a wing night out that won’t break the bank? Look no further than Bistro M at Miramar Hotel! For only P499 per person, you can indulge in an unlimited serving of their wings, fries and rice. But is it worth the price? Let’s find out!

The Unlimited Wings:

Bistro M offers a variety of wing flavors to choose from, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a fan of classic buffalo or something more adventurous, their menu has you covered. The key question is, how do the wings themselves hold up?  Here is an honest review based on my own preference.



While others rave about the wide selection of flavors, the portion size for me tends to be a bit smaller than what I was expecting. With regards to the taste, Buffalo is at the top of my list. It had that classic wing sauce, offering a sweet buttery spicy kick that grows with you. But it’s perfectly tolerable even for those who are not exactly fond of spicy foods.



Salted Egg flavor has a creamy and rich flavor with a touch of salinity. Take note, it’s not salty unlike other chicken with the same flavor.  The salted egg powder isn’t too overpowering. So you can still taste chicken with every bite despite the salty egg taste.



Garlic Parmesan has that cheesy and garlicky combination that’s sure to please even the most discriminating palate. Borrowing that phrase from another famous fast food, it’s finger-lickin good. Worry not, Bistro M has plastic gloves should you want to eat your wings and fries with your hands rather than use your cutlery.



Soy Sesame is our least favorite flavor. It’s a sweet and savory option with a hint of nuttiness. I would’ve preferred my soy sesame with some sweet soy honey glazed instead since the sauce tends to make the chicken ‘swim’ on its soy-based marinade or sauce. Maybe I’m not just fond of the saucy type of wings. But it’s still worth trying. Kids will surely love this.

To complement your wings, Bistro M also throws in three delectable dips:




  • ·         Garlic Aioli: A creamy garlic sauce for a flavorful punch.
  • ·         Thousand Island: A classic dressing with a tangy sweetness
  • ·         Honey Mustard: A sweet and tangy dip that pairs well with both the wings and fries.

The Sides:

The fries are another point of contention. The fries are crispy and satisfying. It had none of that “transfats taste” and it's not greasy. The rice is a safe bet, a good neutral base to balance the potentially strong flavors of the wings. 


My verdict:

Overall, the unlimited wings, fries and rice at Bistro M offer a good value for money especially for those with a hearty appetite. The variety of wing flavors is a definite plus, and the fries and rice are decent accompaniments. However, be prepared for potentially inconsistent wing sizes and potentially limp fries (but if you’re lucky like I was, I’ve had crunchy fries during my visit).

Pros: Affordable, wide variety of wing flavors, good portion sizes.

Cons: Wings can be on the small side, and fries can possibly be limp.

If you’re looking for a fun and affordable wing night out with family and friends, Bistro M’s unlimited wings promo at P499 nett per person is definitely worth trying. Just make sure to manage your expectations and come with a big appetite. Oh, and while you’re there, take advantage of ordering their coffee and signature iced teas (they really taste good but it’s not part of the unlimited promo though, you need to order them separately.)
