I've never had Filipino food before so I was very curious to try out some dishes. My boyfriend took me to Bistro Manila and I let him do the ordering. We got pork adobo, bangus sisig and deep fried pork belly.
He was worried that I wouldn't like the dishes. However, the flavours of the dishes weren't far from Chinese food. The pork adobo was pork belly cooked in a concoction of soy sauce and vinegar. I really enjoyed this dish. The deep fried pork belly dish was my least favourite dish because I don't really like fried things. However, the sauce that it came with was delicious (tasted like a version of a plum sauce). Lastly, the bangus sisig was something that I've never had before. It's a fish dish but I swear it tasted like pork. I was so convinced that I was eating pork, my boyfriend had to Google image of bangus sisig dishes for me. This was my favourite dish and I would definitely order it again the next time I visit this restaurant. Be careful of the green peppers thought! They're super spicy!
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and I can't wait to come back to try their other dishes.
