$5 combination plates. Wow what a deal! I'm not sure if this is truly a foodie's haven but they do give you large portions for a fair price.
This tiny little hole in the wall offers a small selection of Filipino favorites. Most of the food will be preprepared in trays and you pick out what up want. When we came here there were about 6 items available in the serving trays. Dishes seem to rotate on a daily basis so each time you are here there will be a different menu. When we went we had 4 out of the 6 available: dinuguan, pancit, lumpia, and sinigang. The food looked like it had been sitting in the trays all day so I tried to steer clear of anything that might not keep well over time.
Each plate comes with a mound of rice and the portions were very generous. The lumpia was very crispy but there wasn't much filling in it so all I could taste were the crispy outer layers. The sinigang had a hearty savory/sour taste to it with slow cooked pork and vegetables. It was good for the first few sips but I got a little tired of the taste after a while. The pancit was great. The rice noodles were well cooked and it came with shrimp and vegetables with a slice of hard boiled egg on top. I also enjoyed the dinuguan, an earthy rich pork stew that had a hint of spicy kick to it.
Drinks are by the bottle or can and are in a small fridge off to the side.
Overall it was a decent experience. I do prefer the ambiance of At My Place Cafe though, which is in the same shopping plaza and also offers Filipino food. I've only tried At My Place Cafe's breakfast though, so TBD which Filipino main dishes in this plaza reign supreme!
