| - I've been looking for a great Kamayan feast and fulfilled my hunt at Casa Manila! I decided to have my birthday dinner here based on the images on Yelp and Instagram. I tried to be as easy-going as possible because I know how annoying groups can be and event planning. Boy, was I the complete opposite! I had so many changes, questions, concerns from booking two weeks in advance until the food arrived at the table. Casa Manila was SO ACCOMMODATIVE throughout the entire process! Great service from an amazing team! I honestly changed my group size, menu choices, dessert and cakes at least 10 times, I even called the day of for 5 cancellations (15 to 10 people due to the snow). Not once did the staff give me attitude or refuse my dinner party. I am very appreciative of their kindness!
Now onto the dining experience. I have no idea what the ambiance is like a whimsical, old Philippines vibe with some cultural pieces and dream catchers. They serve water cups in coconut shells and make you feel like you've arrived in a tropical paradise. I picked the regular kamayan feast and chose deep fried pork belly, coconut squash & long beans, bbq chicken skewers, and fried chicken wings. They have got to have the most crispy, flavourful fried chicken in the city!!! (Who would've thought?!) it was all served on a bed of garlic rice and plated on banana leaves. The dinner was so indulgent and delicious. My mouth is watering just writing this review hoping I can savour this meal again.
I also ordered pitchers of pineapple mojito which complemented the dinner so well. My friends and I would come back for these too.
And you even get a dessert, I chose the ice cream option so my friends were so able to chose their own flavour. So many exotic options like cheese corn, UBE, lychee, mango and green tea. Overall a very filling dinner!
I even ordered a whole UBE cake to celebrate and it was super light, fluffy and not too sweet. UBE is one of my favourite flavours so it just iced the cupcake on this place!
I urge you all to come to Casa Manila and try the Kamayan feast there's many other options of meats and you're bound to find something you like. It's also only 29.99 a person and you really get your money's worth!
