So, a new branch of Razon's opened in J.Y. square a couple of days ago.
Tonight, i went there to taste what they're all about (claims to be the pride of Pampanga)...
I had the halo halo with special langka, burger and fries.
THE GOOD: Razon's Halo halo is delicious. their strength lies in the powdery consistency of their finely ground ice which eliminates the chances of one chewing on large chunks of ice (which i hate when eating halo halo) and the creaminess of their milk (abundantly supplied with the halo halo) and topped with the delicious and aromatic candied langka (jackfruit; again, abundantly supplied). On this delicious mix you'll also get leche flan (creme caramel), shredded young coconuts, candied plantain (ripe saba bananas cooked in light syrup) and white sugar.
THE BAD: Razon's cheeseburger sucks. The patty is very thin and very small (only about half of the circumference of the bun). It vaguely tastes of something that might remind one of a burger, sort of. The cheese are 2 very thin and very small slices of some ordinary grocery variety cheese that when you take a bite the taste of the bun with sesame seeds overpower the combined taste of the patty and cheese. With that, you get one thin slice of cucumber and a little bit of mayonnaise. The french fried potatoes tastes like something a 10-year old would make in their own kitchen. At P72/order (without drinks), the whole thing is NOT worth it. Angel's Burger's buy-1-take-1 burger is a whole lot tastier than Razon's cheeseburger. I advise my readers and imaginary friends to avoid it like the plague.
THE UGLY: They do not serve tomato ketchup which means you are forced to use the cheap-tasting banana ketchup. What they served seemed like the water-diluted version of UFC banana ketchup which, for me, didn't help the mediocre taste of their fries and burger. Also, i was the only one there at that time and the crew was just sitting around a table and talking BUT i had to follow up my request for water 3 times at 15 minutes interval. They keep on talking and laughing while forgetting the water that i requested.
I didn't see the need to leave a tip.
