| - Wow, just wow...and I don't mean this in a good way. I've been badgering my hubby to try this place and when he finally gave in I was excited to see if this spot was really all it seemed to promise to provide as far as Filipino food , good Filipino food. Sadly, no, it did not meet the grade.
Ordered: Shanghai lumpia, crispy lechon kawali, and sizzling pork sisig.
The Shanghai lumpia was cute in the way they visually prepared it, but the flavor had way too much patis, whether it was mixed in too much with the meat or if they sprinkled it on the wrapper, it was just really overwhelming. Next to arrive was the sizzling pork sisig. The sizzling platter is a great touch, but let's discuss the ingredients. It's a pile of cut up pieces of oily pork, onions and bell peppers topped with a raw egg and a thick drizzle of mayo. I may be wrong, but I've never seen sisig prepared this way, ever..and it just didn't work well with my tastebuds. Last, came the crispy lechon kawali. Again, on a sizzling plate, so nice touch and served with a large scoop of Java rice and a side of corn on the cobb. The pieces were nicely prepared, well fried, but very limited in quantity. I would expect about 50% more than what they actually serve, but what do I know...
Overall, having 2 of the 3 dishes fail completely and then having the 3rd dish not be enough in quantity, doesn't make me want to come back. Still searching....
