Sticky Bones and Ribs at Morganfield's

Malaysia, Singapore, China, and now it's our turn...

Morganfield's opens its very first branch in the metro at Bonifacio Global City, allowing local diners to experience its signature Sticky Ribs and more...

Located at the second floor of the new Uptown Place Mall in Bonifacio Global City, Morganfield's takes us back to the old-fashioned goodness of southern style pork ribs, slow-cooked and smoked in fragrant hickory wood basted in homemade tomato-based barbecue sauce. Classic flavors from a bygone era, recreated at Morganfield's. 

Morganfield's take on the classic wet-rub ribs, with its thick, sweet, tart, smoky and savory glaze, the "Sticky Bones," pairs perfectly with the mild and delicate sweet notes of tender, juicy pork, bringing a slice of vintage Americana to the metro. Start with Morganfield's soothing Berry Easy, Agua Fresca, and Begonia for some good vibes...  

...before taking a big bite from their popular starters like the Seasame Shrimp Salad (P 395), a tasty mixed salad with peeled oranges, apples, tomatoes, sesame seeds, spring onions, red chilies, and blanched plump and juicy shrimps with homemade oriental sesame dressing. The play on contrasting flavors of sweet and tart notes, soft and crisp textures, combine to make this salad the perfect starter before the next round of dishes.

Morganfield's Bacon Wrapped Meat Balls (P 295), deep-fried pork meatballs wrapped with bacon, served with fresh and crisp lettuce leaves and mustard, proves yet again that anything is made even better with bacon. The mild flavors of the richly seasoned pork meatballs are punctuated by the smoky sharp notes of the bacon for complex yet balanced flavors. Try wrapping the meatballs with fresh lettuce with a dab of mustard for even more flavor.

The Pork Sausage Platter (P 465), a quartet of Morganfield's homemade juicy pork sausages is one of those absolutely must-try dishes, with the Spicy Devil, the Smoky Bandit, Herby Dog, and Cheesy Cheese sausages served with coleslaw and homemade garlic aioli. The clever and amusing names give you an idea of what to expect from the sausages. The flavors and textures of each sausage are unique and distinct, offering a variety of flavorful notes in one platter. This one's a personal favorite, and great with an ice-cold beer. And these are just the starters...

And now, for the mains. Morganfield's offers a wide selection of mains, from burgers to chicken and seafood, and many other savory dishes like the Pork Ham Chops (P 585), tender and juicy, thick-cut succulent pork loin ham chops perfectly grilled for that comforting smoky note draped in Morganfield's house gravy and cranberry sauce. The sauces add that flavorful punch to the ham chops, with the red skin mashed potatoes and fresh garden vegetables completing the dish.

Classic blues, a cold beer, good vibes and cool company, and you're just about ready for Morganfield's signature Sticky Bones, like the Jack Daniels Glazed Iberico Baby Back. Made from the classic Iberian acorn-fed pigs, these ribs are definitely a cut above the usual rubs, with its near melt-in-your-mouth texture capped by the distinct nutty notes of the acorn-fed juicy pork and the smoky JD glaze, this one's another winner. Fork-tender and fall-off-the-bone, the ribs just peel off the bone with ease. I've always preferred dry rub ribs, but one bite of the Jack Daniels Glazed Iberico Baby Back is all I need to give wet rubs, the Sticky Bone, a spot in my list of favorites. Crunchy onion rings and coleslaw complete the dish.

The Smoked Black Peppercorn Spare Ribs, infused with the soothing heat from the black peppercorn is perfectly tempered by the sweet and smoky sticky glaze for another flavorful option at Morganfield's. At Morganfield's, size matters, and the racks are huge and great for sharing.

But if you need a meal for the gang, try Morganfield's loaded Sharing Platters like The Carnivore (P 2,995), with a full slab of Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs (or choose from the Smoked Peppercorn Spare Ribs, the Garlicky BBQ Spare Ribs, or the Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs), one half Tequila Spiked Chicken (or you can go for the Herb Roasted Chicken), grilled Spicy Devil and Herby Dog sausages, a side of garden salad, grilled corn on the cob, corn bread and French fries. That's a real party on a platter.

The Carnivore (featured with the Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs) has something for everyone, and the soft homemade corn bread and corn-on-the-cob add a rustic and comforting American touch. Other Sharing Platters include Ocean Madness (P 2,795) with BBQ Spare Rib, fish fillet, beer-battered prawns, sausages, corn-on-the-cob, corn bread, salad and fries; and the Ribs Sampler (P 3,225) with three full slabs of your choice from Morganfield's four BBQ Rib variants and a footlong Farmer's Bratwurst sausage. Each of the signature BBQ Ribs have their respective flavor profiles, and getting the Ribs Sampler is a good option to discover the full range of flavors of Morganfield's signature BBQ ribs. At Morganfields, you can also find pasta, soups, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, steaks, and chops.  

For dessert, indulge your chocolate craving with the Volcanic Chocolate Lava Cake (P245), a moist and rich chocolate cake filled with chocolate cream topped with vanilla ice cream, a cherry, and drizzled with caramel sauce. It's the perfect ending to cap your feast at Morganfield's. So, if you have a craving for Sticky Bones, head on over to Morganfield's...
