| - I've never had Filipino food, and once we walked in to the basic menu and tons of unlabeled food on display, BF confessed it had been years and he had no idea what to order. Which of course just means that we ordered nearly everything: two of their two-meat plates with rice, and a bunch of other added-on take out containers of sauces and stews, plus this and that from their appetizers and desserts section, and we were out the door with a gigantic bag of food for $25.
I have only a vague idea of what each item was, but it was ALL delicious! The pork adobo and a beef stew dish were probably my favorites, the crispy pata was too indulgent for me, the lumpia were downright sinful and had surprisingly little grease, the grilled skewers of chicken and beef were both very flavorful and not overly charred or burned, and the fried intestines were super salty for my tastes- but BF loved everything that I had the slightest hesitation about.
There was a vegetable and shrimp crispy pancake thing that was just alright to me, but BF raved about, and I felt that way about the dessert we had- a skewer of round balls that looked like donut holes, had a chewy center, and a slight maple-syrup-like aftertaste.
Not only did we pig out, but there were lots of leftovers. Knowing what we like here now will likely make future trips much cheaper- two 2-meat plates with rice for under $11 is amazing pricing for the portions given here.
