| - It was my first time trying Filipino food outside of my boyfriend's cooking and it was such a great experience! Located at Market 707, it's a small Filipino street food vendor that offers a lot of popular dishes like lumpia, palabok, halo halo, lechon kawali, sisig fries etc. My boyfriend and I ordered the lechon kawali (roast pork), bangus (milkfish), kalamansi iced tea, and lumpia. I loved the lumpia and the milkfish. The milkfish was so flavorful and hit my salt tooth good. I was debating on getting halo halo or ube ice cream but I was already so full from the other dishes. I thought the lechon kawali was pretty solid, it was nice and crispy/crunchy and the iced tea is homemade (how I know this is because the lady used an old juice plastic container to store the tea) so that was tasty and refreshing. They all came with garlic rice but I barely touched it because the food was crazy filling.
Definitely a must try because I feel like Filipino cuisine doesn't get much credit or exposure like other types of food from other countries. If you think about it, Filipino food is not mainstream yet, but Kanto, which means "corner", really put it on the map for me. Highly recommend.
