We were lucky enough to be invited to the soft opening of this brand new restaurant. I've not been impressed with any Filipino place in Calgary...until now.
Chefs John and Sonny have created a boutique restaurant with classic Filipino flavours stepped up to new heights.
Their house recipe mami noodles are my new favourite...chunky and delicious. I had the oohpapi with beef, chicken and dumpling in a beef broth that has hints of pho but is heartier.
The pork belly with tofu appetizer is amazing. I want more of that!
Also try the quikiam for something different. Pork cheeks with shrimp and onion fried into a sausage like appetizer.
I really hope that everyone will try it out when they open next week (hoping for Tuesday, Dec 15 is what I'm told).
