| - This restaurant has always been my goto place whenever I'm in the hood, either for a quick bite or simply to satisfy my guilty pleasures.
Thus far, there are 3 items that always make it out the door with me--Lumpia Shanghai, Chicharong Bituka and Turon.
Lumpia Shanghai is mini deep fried spring rolls, filled with mainly pork and shredded carrots. 5 for $1.85, its compliments really well with their sweet and sour sauce. The best thing about it you can have over 10 pieces and don't feel oily/stuffed.
Chicharong Bituka, something that might scare a lot of people away. Traditional deep fried pork intestine ($6/100grams), it is THE SNACK to go with a nice cold glass of beer. It's got somewhat an acquired burnt taste but delicious in my opinion.
Last but not least Turon, a deep fried (yes, that's a lot of fried food!) plantain spring roll. Its got a small piece of Jackfruit stuffed in it as well. Crispy skin, semi firm plantain and then a light, sweet coating of caramelized sugar, YUMMY! These go for $1.50/piece.
Overall, a very clean cafeteria style restaurant, with lots of great food, just the way a Filipino mom would make it--very homey! They are also known best for their catering.
