Five of us dined here last Friday and overall we found the food pretty average. Some hits and misses among the dishes...
Kare kare - peanut beef stew. It looks and sounds rich but the sauce doesn't have a lot of flavour. I appreciate the fact that everything was low sodium but I expected more beef taste and peanut taste in the sauce. The shrimp paste made it much better but still wasn't great. Beef is fall off the bones tender though.
Manila chicken curry - tender chicken, good sauce, lovely vegetables - one of my favourite dishes and taste a lot like Malaysian style curry. But not a dish you can't get elsewhere...
Pinkabet - lovely vegetable dish with delightful pieces of pork inside. The pork is delcious.
Daing na Bangus - panfried milk fish. This was pretty good.
Pancit Malaboon - thick rice noodle in seafood sauce. From the photos (golden coloured) and description this looks like a wonderful dish, but really not a lot of seafood flavour in the dish or any other noticable flavour, it seems like it was seasoned maybe with fish sauce? That was all the seafood taste I got. We didn't finish this.
Perhaps if I tried other dishes I'd get a better overall experience, or perhaps my expectations is different, but I feel that I do enjoy Restauran Malay or Saigon Star a lot more for the same price.
