Mely's Kainan is cash only with a single table set up if you choose to dine in. This is mostly a carry out style business. I drove out here from Independence for my lunch today. I wanted to get my usual mainstay of adobo and unfortunately they did not have it. I advise to peruse the online menu and try to order ahead. I went with the special for the day which was the bistec. It was a tender serving of beef and onion served atop a bed of white rice. A few Filipina women came in while I was there and all ordered the same. I also had the shanghai rolls and BBQ pork skewers. Everything was delicious.
What really won my heart over was the star of the show; Mely. We had a great conversation about life and our experiences as human beings. She is extremely busy because of the business and often caters to local hospitals. Her birthday is coming up in August and I am definitely stopping up to eat and celebrate. I hope that she does not retire any time soon because I want to eat some more of the wonderful food she cooks. I highly recommend Mely's Kainan for some great Filipino food.
