| - I enjoy Filipino food and have not had much of it recently, but I have never been disappointed as they are typically homemade from small restaurants (never been to a "fine dining" Filipino restaurant though).
That being said, Mami's was a bit disappointing in my eyes. Mami's is a small little food stand located in the food court of the Oriental Centre at Brimley and Shepphard. The place itself doubles as a tiny little grocery selling some filipino items to go along with the menu. The menu itself offers plates like Adobo Chicken, pork knuckles, and meat skewers.
I ordered the Adobo Chicken and pork skewers. It comes with a side of rice and a drink for around $5, which is great. The adobo chicken was served in a cup which was a mistake. There is a lot of grease and fat that came with their adobo chicken, so much of it compiles at the bottom. The taste was fine, but the oily meat was disappointing.
The skewer, on the other hand, was very flavorful and cooked wonderfully. I wish I got more than one. The meat was tender and the slightly charred exterior was awesome. Definitely better than the adobo chicken.
Prices are great, but the food was a bit lackluster. The food didn't look too fresh, but maybe you just have to come at a much earlier time than lunch time. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, but the place is just ok for me.
