Certified Top Hits on the Hard Rock Cafe Play List

Loyal fans of Hard Rock Cafe have their own list of go-to dishes each time they visit. What's yours? 


After sampling the local entries for the Hard Rock Cafe World Burger Tour (more on my post here at The Hard Rock Cafe World Burger Tour Rocks Makati and Manila's Burger Scene from earlier this month), it was good time to revisit old faves and new dishes. Here's a countdown of certified top hits at Hard Rock Cafe to add to your own playlist...


Start with the refreshing duo of libations to get the rockin' beat going with the Electric Blues (P 475) with its blend of Smirnoff Vodka, Bacardi Superior Rum, Beefeater Gin, Blue Curaçao and housemade sour mix topped with Sprite and the Bahama Mama (P 495) with Bacardi Superior Rum, Malibu Coconut Rum, Créme de Banana, fresh oranges and pineapple finished and a splash of Grenadine. 


The Blackberry Sparkling Sangria (P 495) with red wine, fresh blackberries, cranberry juice and a fresh squeeze of orange topped with Prosecco is another refreshing option at Hard Rock Cafe with its vibrant fruity and berry notes. 


And keep the drinks coming. The Hibiscus Blackberry Spritz (P 475) with vodka, blackberry Monin flavored syrup, hibiscus Monin, hibiscus tea and lemon lime soda is just what you need to beat the lingering summer heat. Light, fresh and flavorful, each sip soothes the palate and body for that much needed pause from the hectic urban pace. 


Classic cocktails like the Blood Orange Bourbon Sour (P 475) teases the palate with its sweet and sour play from the mix of Jim Beam and blood orange Monin flavored syrup...


...while the Rosemary Smoked Negroni (P 455) with Campari, gin, Martini Rosso and a sprig of rosemary opens up the palate with its traditional notes enhanced by the smoke from the torched herb. Hard Rock Cafe offers a full roster of cocktails and beverages to fit your mood or craving from the bar, simply ask the server for the extensive selection. 


After a few rounds, time for some hearty and tasty bites in the rockin' style of Hard Rock Cafe with the sumptuous and shareable Jumbo Combo (P 1,595) loaded with an assortment of popular starters like Chicken Wings, Tupelo Chicken Tenders, fresh Asian Spring Rolls, crisp Fries and Bruschetta


From the Bar Bites Menu, the crisp fried Asian Spring Rolls (P 495) in Chicken or Fish served with a tart vinegar dip becomes the perfect pairing with another round of refreshing libations at Hard Rock Cafe with its delectable play on textural contrasts and fresh, clean flavors. 


Thin and crisp, the Flatbread offerings at Hard Rock Cafe are mainstays in any list of savory tasty options. The Pepperoni Flatbread (P 695) layered with Mozzarella, Bleu Cheese, jalapeños and dried oregano packs a flavorful punch...


...while the Four-Cheese Flatbread (P 695) with its rich blend of Pecorino, Mozzarella, Bleu Cheese and Parmesan is the perfect cheese fix for any cheesy craving. 


Why not pair your Flatbread selection with the hearty and equally tempting pasta dishes at Hard Rock Cafe? The deep earthy and nutty flavors of the Truffle Mushroom Pasta (P595) just hits all the right notes with shiitake mushrooms, tartufata, garlic, onions, cream, truffle oil and Parmesan...


...leaving rich lingering flavors on the palate. The truffle oil brings that added layer of indulgence bringing all the distinct notes of the different ingredients together with each tasty bite. 


Change up your pasta game with the playfully inventive Asian-inspired Oriental Shrimp Pasta (P 645) with succulent shrimps, shiitake mushrooms, roasted peanuts, bokchoy, garlic, spring onions and cilantro on spaghetti tossed in a mildly sweet and nutty oriental sauce. It's a unique spin on the usual pasta dish, made more flavorful with its tasty cast of ingredients like plump shrimps with its fresh, clean briny notes, roasted peanuts and thick oriental sauce. 


New on the menu, cap your sumptuous feast at Hard Rock Cafe with a bangin' drum roll with the wittingly named Mix-Mix (P 395). A playful take on the local iced dessert classic, the Mix-Mix is the indulgent finale to another rockin' performance at Hard Rock Cafe
