| - I visited Eskenita for lunch on a Friday. It's a small restaurant located in a fairly large outdoor mall, which made it a little difficult to find. However, it seems to be quite popular because half the tables were full when I arrived. The interior was interesting. It looked a lot like a corner bodega with a kitchen attached and they sell apparel as well (shoes, sunglasses, hats, etc.).
They serve all-day breakfast, so I decided to try the TapSiLog, which is marinated beef, and a fried egg over rice. The beef was delicious. You can tell that it has been marinated for a long time. It reminded me so much of home and the skewered meats you can find in Southeast Asia. I didn't particularly like the rice. I thought it was too crunchy and dry. The sauce that came with dish helped a bit with the dryness. The egg looked promising because the yolk looked runny on top. However, when I cut into it, I realized that it was overcooked. I might come back for the skewers, but probably not the breakfast.
I also tried the halo halo. It was definitely tasty and sweet. I enjoyed the ice cream, the condensed milk, and the toppings. However, there were several large pieces of ice that had formed, making it a little difficult to eat at times.
