Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be

I have fond memories of Rufo’s Tapsilog from oh, 20 years ago, when gimmick nights would end early in the morning with a pre-homecoming feed. Rufo’s used to be across the street from I.S. in Makati and I remembered it as the most delicious Tapsilog in town.

So I went to their branch in Pasig last night.

Apparently, memories embalmed in an alcoholic haze aren’t worth diddly squat.
