The Rib Flakes Plate (P 345), with tender shreds of Racks' signature pork ribs just brings back fond memories of childhood summers when my mom used to shred left-over chicken and pork adobo and deep-fried to crispy perfection. The distinct smoky notes of the signature ribs linger long after the first bite, capped by the intense flavors of the Racks Original Hot Sauce. Paired with soft Java Rice and creamy Potato Salad, it's a complete meal guaranteed to make any weekday so much better.

Always a favorite, the Classic Pork Rib Plate (P 375), with a tender, flame-grilled, fall-off-the-bone slab of juicy pork rib paired with Java Rice and Coleslaw is my way of getting past the weekday blues, and it just works for me all the time. A fork is all you need for the ribs, delicately falling-off-the-bone with each gentle slice. The familiar and comforting smoky hints and the savory richness of the pork ribs just melts away any trace of the weekday blues, replaced by vibrant flavors.  

And if you want to indulge in even more pork love, go ahead and just give in with the Racks Classic Pork Ribs (P 395-Quarter Rack/P 615-Half Rack/P 1,095-Full Rack) with your choice of sides.There's just nothing like the good old-fashioned flame-grilled and dry-rubbed pork ribs, and Racks still serves some of the best in the metro.

End your classic meal with another favorite at Racks. The Classic Apple Pie A La Mode (P 155), a rustic pie stuffed with sweet apples and topped with velvety smooth vanilla ice cream ends your weekday feast on a sweet note.
