When my friend and I decided to finally (FINALLY!) go through with our (much belated, frequently cancelled) dinner plans, we decided to just wing it. That is, see where our hunger would take us. Not very far, apparently, because we wound up a stone’s throw away from my office.
Lord of the Wings is a recently-opened restaurant owned by Chef Diego Castro along Maginhawa. Surprisingly, there was no reference whatsoever to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings but the interiors had old-school microphones and radio sets and my favoite, old comic strips on the tables!
It boasts of having six different types of sauces for their chicken wings. But because we didn’t know this, it wasn’t something we ordered. Which you know, is weird of us to do—not order any chicken at a chicken store.
Instead, we chose to carbo-load and ordered two types of pasta and potato wedges. Because there isn’t much anyone can say about potato wedges, we’ll go to the pastas.

| Lord of the Wings' Sweet Angel Carbonara and Crispy Adobo Pasta were disppoing but then again, the restaurant isn't called Lord of the Noodles. |
The Crispy Adobo Pasta was a disappointment mostly because it was far too oily while the adobo not too crispy. They weren’t so much of adobo flakes as they were adobo crumbs. It was a challenge to eat.
The Sweet Angel Carbonara wasn’t that special or any different from the usual carbonaras but it was more tolerable than the Adobo Pasta.
As much as the different types of sauces for the chicken make me curious, I don’t think I’ll be coming back any time soon.
