| - The spouse is a Filipina, and she tends to be quite critical of Filipino restaurants serving stale or old food. I have to admit, I have come around to her view on this matter. Many Filipino restaurants have the food pre-cooked and out for the diner to see and select. Thelma's food is fresh. It's served hot and delicious.
So far, we've ate breakfast and dinner at this restaurant. The breakfast was a large serving of fried rice with spam, bacon, and sausage mixed in. It also had an egg, cooked to order. The cost of the breakfast was about $5.00. They also made fresh Kona coffee for $1.50, with delicious creamers and sweetners.
For dinner, we had Sinigang Pamapo and Thelma's Special. Thelma's Special was crispy pata with onions and tomatos over the top. It was delicious. The chunks of pork were crunchy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The Sinigang Pampano is a sort of sour tasting soup with vegies and a good sized Pampano cut in three pieces. I left the sour soup to the wife, and focused on the Pampano...quite fresh and delicious. The meal came with lots of steamed rice. I don't think either dish cost more than $9.00. The banana lumpia was okay, but not exactly my thing when it comes to desert.
The service is attentive. The value is there. The place is clean. You also get to view The Philippino Channel on a Plasma TV. Make the drive to Henderson, everything here is much better than Goldilocks.
