I never know what I am going to get when I walk into a Filipino restaurant. Sometimes it's good service sometimes it is not. This time it was the latter. The older tita-looking lady was nice and wanted to serve me, she actually acted like she had a stake in the business and it's customers.
The younger ate'-looking woman, looked at me when I came in, turned around, but then assisted some other customer when they walked in. I clearly stated that I was first and she just went on with the other customer. This happens in many Filipino businesses that I enter. And maybe someone should tell workers that being rude to "non-kababayans" is not a good business practice. I will never come to this restaurant again.
That being said let's talk about the food.
I ordered eggplant, mungo, and rice. It came in a combo plate. I added a balut and Sarsi on the side. The eggplant was way to undercooked and could not be cut with a fork and spoon. The mungo was overly salty and watery. It was more tubig-go than mun-go!
The best thing that I had there was the balut and the Sarsi. I would have liked to give it another chance and try their pancit and chicharon, perhaps a "si-log", but as I get older I no longer choose to spend money where I am treated as a second class citizen. First impressions are so important as my life gets shorter.
