| - I had been driving past this place for a few months when I finally made in today to check it out.
My parents are Filipino, and while I was born and raised in Canada, every once in a while, a girl wants a taste of "home."
The husband and wife owners were lovely - the lady (who I assume is Carolina) was cheerful and smiley and reminded me of one of my Aunts and I was quite impressed with her husband, who, despite, not being Filipino, pronounced food titles in (obviously not his first language) almost perfectly.
They knew I was a first-timer into their shop and were very attentive. I picked up a bangus (marinated milk fish), appritada (chicken) and a crispy pata, and it came in a combo with either rice or pancit (noodles). I also ordered an extra fried fish on the side and the whole thing cost me $13.00, which fed both of my parents nicely. They approved and have already studied the menu for the next time I plan on going.
They also have a decent-sized seating area, plus a small Filipino grocery aisle. Nice place. I bet it does well on the weekends, as it is right across the street from a Christian Church.
I'll certainly go back - the couple was sweet and very welcoming and hey, the food tasted like home.
