first time to try Filipino food. came on Monday 6pm. The bbq meat portion is big. Some of the meat part is difficult to chew (maybe is my personal issue). Avocado milk.shake is nicely done with the ratio. The bill comes with 16% tax. The environment is clean with music.
The food is quite good, but the portion could be given more. Wish it was more. No Filipino alcohol. The people could be more friendlier. Looks like people there does not have desire to work.
My first time having Filipino food & I have to admit, the taste is rather refreshing & interesting. Here’s what we ordered: Beef Tapa: Basically like beef jerky so it’s rather dry & hard & dipping into the sauce provided is not helping either. Ginataang Sitaw Kalabasa: Assorted vege cooked in some sort of cream? I don’t really fancy this one either, maybe due to the cream. It’s a bit heavy so it tastes weird. Sinigang na Hippon: Sour soup with prawns. Probably out of everything, this is my favourite. Mainly because I love sour & savoury soup. This tastes a bit like Tom yam, minus the spiciness. It’s just sour, with clear broth and lots of prawns! Very appetising & it was enough for 2 pax. Sizzling Pork Sisig: As a lean meat lover, this probably doesn’t go with my vibe at all. It’s actually very fragrant, but due to the meat used (kinda like pork belly meat), so I’m not a fan of this dish either. Overall, the food is okay, it just depends on which dish might go well with your appetite. The atmosphere of the restaurant is okay too (very quiet during weekdays) & they do have a corner where they sell Filipino stuff (dry goods). Also, ample of parking inside the building. Will give it a try again next time.
Found this by chance and came here for dinner... the dishes are authentic and there's more variety to be had here as well than we've tried. Prefer the garlic rice as it blends well with the dishes. What's it like? It's fairly reminiscent of Mary Grace for their pastries and Abe for their Filipino cuisine. That may be overstating it but they combines both a restaurant that serves pastry and other menu items for brunch which is quite impressive.
We were disappointed that we cannot try the boodle fight or any other grilled item because the griller was not working. We tried the other dishes and they were ok. The best is probably the pork in cream coconut sauce.
The food here is amazing. The sizzling pork sisig is a must try and I personally liked the skewered chicken intestine and this is coming from someone who doesn't usually fancy innards. For dessert, I had the cassava which was delicious and the gulaman was refreshing as well.
Place was very homey, and staff was very friendly and attentive to customers needs. The dish I ordered took a bit long to serve for which the staff informed me and apologized for the delay. All in all it was a good experience. I will definitely go back here.
I went to the Philippines today. Doesn't require passport and flights. Super awesome. My husband and I found this place by accident when we were running some errands around the area. It has only about eight small tables and the server or lady boss were very friendly in introducing the food because we don't understand a thing on the menu as it was written in Filipino. We ordered Chop Suey ( stir fried mixed veg), some eggplant omelet, fried butterflied catfish marinated with curry, and garlic rice. It comes with a bowl of clear soup which tasted like a combination of braised salted vege and rasam. Very interesting! (In a good way) The Chop Suey was delicious too! It was stir fried with some chicken and beef. Very flavourful. I didn't try the catfish though because I wanted to eat less meat. But my husband seems to enjoy every bit of it because he ate the fish head too, like my cats. Omelet was smoky and creamy because of the eggplant. I totally love it. They have a lot of Filipino customers! I'm talking about 70% of their customers are Filipino. Must be some authentic food they serve here. Food is cheap too, only RM20 for two person! And they serve water instead of mineral water! Yay! Cheap, delicious, friendly, authentic Filipino food. What's not to like? Definitely come back here again.
