| - I am a Filipino, and I've gone to Pinoy Pinay many times over the years. I thought the food was okay, especially the lechon kawali. One of my friends, however, got bad diarrhea from their halo-halo. Anyway, I was there yesterday with a friend. I now have a restricted diet so I did not order except for the buko juice. My friend ordered lechon kawali and sinigang na halibut, which were fine. My complaint: the buko juice was not the real buko juice. It was mixed with milk and hardly had the buko taste to it. I knew there was something wrong at my first sip. I went to the counter and asked it there was milk in it, and was told there was. Now, how can that be buko juice!? They're trying to dilute or replace the buko juice with milk? I have never had buko juice this way! They should have called it milk buko juice! Some people are lactose intolerant or allergic to milk, and milk should be identified if it is going to be included in an item, especially buko juice that is not traditionally mixed with milk! I did not touch the item after that and left it on the table. They should warn their customers if some of their items are not traditionally made and "creatively" diluted! These days, Filipino restaurants here are all over the place, and if a simple item such as buko juice cannot be done right, it would be very easy to go to the next competitor.
