| - Okay. Glad there are other reviews posted for White Rabbit Fusion Cafe already. I been holding off on posting a review for it since it, well it did not exactly wow the F out of me. And 3 stars is the best they can get out of me with their soft opening effort.
But first let me just explain what White Rabbit Fusion Cafe is to those not familiar with this food truck from California turned brick and mortar LV restaurant. It is Filipino comfort/street food proteins (Chicken Adobo, Pork Sisig, Pork Longanisa, etcetera.) packaged in traditional Mexican food delivery vessels (i.e., your tacos, burritos, quesadilla).
The portion is just underwhelming for me, but I can pack a lot of food away, so I am biased. But they have Tofu on the menu for vegetarians. The concept of someone ordering something vegetarian at a Filipino Fusion place is just so foreign to me. But it is available.
Pricing seems high to me for what you get. The fact that it is in or near one of the busier plazas in the "Chinatown District" makes their pricing strategy suspect. If it was something served from a food truck at FoodieFest,I can see the reasoning behind the carnival-like pricing, but not such a great incentive from a brick and mortar operation. I know, it does not make sense, but I stand by my opinion.
The cashier, even though this was her first job ever, was nice. The order was prepared quickly and correctly, which is expected but still nice. My Pork Sisig Burrito had a good ratio of pork sisig to rice ratio, but was on the dried side. Portion seems to be designed for a growing 5 year old or someone on a weight loss plan.
Still just a 3 star-ish experience overall for me. But I will chalk it up to their Pork Sisig not being as good as I had expect it to be, and give them another chance trying something else from their menu on a future visit.
