This is our first taste of Filipino cuisine, not sure what to expect, but from what we see at nearby shops, it looks like the usual economical veg and rice stall but the dishes are not as colorful.
The restaurant was packed when we went there for lunch on a Friday. We order the set lunch which comes with soup, main, dessert and drink. I think we paid around $12 per set.
Soup
Clear soup with some prawns and vegetables, super sour :(
Main Course
Stir-fry Tang Hoon, taste just like normal cze char
Chicken curry set. This taste more like the Thai Green Curry style, very thick gravy and strong coconut taste.
Stewed chicken with soy sauce, very salty
Pan-fried Mackerel in garlic soy sauce. The garlic is actually quite fragrant but it is way to salty.
Drink
Calamansi - normal syrup drink
Dessert
This yam ice-cream is more like coconut ice-cream as the yam taste is not very strong. But I think it's yummy! I guess it's because I always have a soft-spot for coconut ice-cream.
Verdict
Good try, new experiences for the taste-bud but too strong for my taste. The lady boss advised that we should ask for less sodium. Considering the dishes are similar to the usual economical rice, will probably not try it again in the near future.
