Why eat at a GTA Filipino restaurant when you have aunts that are awesome cooks! Well, this place was both totally worth the drive out to North York and my calorie count for the evening (week really - yay cheat meals!).
We didn't order much because we were about to head to a Yelp event with food but the three dishes ended up being plenty as an entire meal for 5ppl! We got the lichon kawali, which was deliciously crispy. We would have liked more of the skin but should have asked because the table next door got tons. Newbie fail. The garlic rice was nice and firm and not at all sticky like we had found in other places. The favorite of the night was definitely the kare-kare; an oxtail stew with veggies in a peanut based sauce. It's one of those things that I wonder if non-Filipinos would enjoy but my NF friends loved it too.
I'm coming back with my parents!
