| - We came here specifically for their lechon. When we got there, we were warmly greeted by the staff. As we survey the food station (All of the food is warmed in a steam table) the roasted pig was almost non-existent. We asked when will they have another one available, they said not until 6pm. We got there around 4pm. So, instead of having scraps of lechon and not wanting to wait for a fresh one, we decided to order combo 4 which is: 1/2 roasted chicken, with lumpia, steamed rice and pop. We also ordered sisig. We were eating for 2, so we ordered an extra bowl of steam rice. I asked if they had garlic fried rice, but they didn't. Would've been nice if they had that option. The pork belly caught our attention, as that would've been a great alternative, but they admitted that it was made yesterday and for $2 cheaper (From $12 to $10). I respect them for their honesty, but no way am I eating pork belly that was made yesterday. As we're seated, waiting for our food, there's Christian music playing from the TV. It was a little loud for our liking, especially since their dining area is right by the TV. As we dig into our food, we're disappointed because everything was barely warm. The sisig was rubbery, because it was laying in a steam table for who knows how long. Sisig should be fresh, made to order, or else it won't be the same. The chicken was barely tolerable. I drenched everything in Man Tomas sauce and spicy vinegar to make it better. Overall, a disappointment. I'd only come back if we're lucky enough to make it there when they have fresh lechon and pork belly that wasn't made the day before. Sampaguita Village literally across the street is better for Filipino food.
