First time at Gingerroot and we ordered the fried spring rolls, beef caldereta, and dinuguan. All the dishes came out in family style portions which was nice because we were starving.
The spring rolls came out nice and hot, just the way I like them. The dipping sauce was delicious as it had a nice balance between salty, sweet, and spicy.
The beef caldereta reminded me of plain beef stew and the beef chunks were a lil on the tough side. This dish was just ok.
Now the dinuguan disappointed me because it turned out to be a pork dish made with blood. The description on the menu said it was pork in brown gravy. I'm not Filipino so I was expecting what the menu described. Well to me there is a big difference between brown gravy and blood. I'm not fan of dishes made with blood so I finished what I put on my plate and couldn't eat anymore. The menu was misleading on this entree. I think I'm gonna try the chicken adobo next time.
