| - Dinner in Vegas
I'm always up for discovering a new place to eat that's not on The Strip and who else can you rely on to recommend a good restaurant in Vegas (aside from Yelp reviews) but friends who are residents in Vegas. This restaurant which served Asian Fusion Filipino cuisine is located in the Southeast side of Maryland Pkwy in Vegas. Our party of 9 was accommodated from a reservation made by a resident in our party. The menu was stacked with island favorites from the silogs to dinner favorites to fancy local desserts. I was so excited to try many of the classic favorites. I ended up getting the Spicy Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs... and, no, it wasn't spicy at all :)
The restaurant is small but surprisingly it can accommodate groups! There is also a raised section (like on a stage) that can accommodate a party of 12 or so and it feels like you are under a nipa hut. Love that warm welcome Filipino hospitality by the owners and staff. Our food came pretty quickly but then again we lost track of time during the wait as our group had a lot of catching up to do. From appetizers (Full House Trio 12-pc) to our entrees including Chubby Longanisa Sausage (or longsilog), Boneless Milk Fish (bangsilog), Roasted Lechon Pork Belly, Kare Kare, Boneless Fried Chicken, and first time seeing a Lechon Burger!! whaaa?? yes, and it also came with tater tots. LoL! With fancy names such as Macapuno Tiramisu, Turon a la Mode, and Flaming Halo Halo you know we had to try their desserts! That halo halo was on fiyah! Literally! well, the piece of leche flan on top was. Hubby didn't like it that it was served on a bowl, though...
Thank you to co-owners, Alex and Jocelyn! We hope to be back again soon when they roll out the next phase of cuisine selection with more to add to their already variety of food on their menu maybe late in the year?
