| - After searching far and wide (a few swipes here and there) for a good Filipino place near my neighborhood, I came across this restaurant on yelp.
I was actually surprised that on my first visit here, the restaurant was so dead. We were the only ones there, so of course we got the servers undivided attention. Although we were the only ones for a good hour, our server was great with timing and chatting. He didn't smother us with attention, which I really appreciate in service.
While looking at the reviews on yelp, I read that their lechon is some of the best. Unfortunately, we did not give it a try today. We did however, try the:
1. Cafe de Cebu fried rice, which had a very good amount of lechon chunks in it as stated in the description of the menu.
2. Kare-Kare, in my opinion it was made decently. A little too much oil for my liking, but my mother seemed to enjoy it. The meat was cooked just to perfection and eating it, really made me feel at home.
3. Fried Boneless Bangus, this dish was by far my favorite here. The fish was crunchy, moist, and cooked to absolute perfection.
Lastly, we shared a bowl of halo-halo. We laughed at the fact that they substituted the usual crunchy stuff for cereal, but it actually complimented the dessert well. It wasn't too sweet and it was made just right. Considering I never really enjoyed halo-halo, I really liked the one I had today.
