Johnny Rockets - Authentic Asian Culture




Fort Bonifacio is clearly in need of further Americanization. Just to prove it, Johnny Rockets 
finally opened its doors during the run-up to Christmas right in front of my tower block. 
Enticed by the smell of fat-drenched burgers and potato-less fries, Jule and I decided to 
check out the action. It wasn't long before she was intoxicated by the atmosphere
and strutting her funky stuff on the veranda. I was more interested in trying 
to figure out what on earth was in my veggie burger.
I still haven't worked out the answer.




Every 15 minutes or so, the waiters venture out to entice passers-by to come inside and dine. 
They do so by captivating them in their own inimitable way. John Travolta eat your heart out! 
These boys have sure got rhythm.




As an avid Steve Mcgarrett fan while growing up in the 1970s, there was only one tune I wanted to hear. Sure enough, my request didn't fall on deaf ears and soon things really started to liven up.
Book 'im Danno!




The highlight of the evening proved to be a guest who was sitting in the restaurant itself trying to eat his burger in peace without watching a load of cooks and waiters gyrate their pelvis in his face. 
Unfortunately he'd cheered up a bit by the time the staff appeared to taunt him a second time, but I still couldn't resist capturing the remains of his scowl for posterity's sake as the boogie boogie music just went on and on. Just listen to the rapturous applause at the end!




So what Filipino culinary delights can you expect to sample if you visit Manila? 
Real Pinoy fare combined with ethnic Oriental dancing at Johnny Rockets of course.
A truly Asian experience!
