When in Rome do as the Romans do.
This place was in walking distance to where I'm staying so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to meet a close family friend for dinner and as she's from the Filipino, I thought I would broaden my cultural experiences.
Happy Tummy serves food servery style as has been my experience in the past. It makes it easy for me to just point to stuff and say I'll have this and that (having no clue what I'm eating).
Atmosphere is very casual with many tables for two and a. Couple for 4 but no doubt they could accommodate bigger groups.
My friend ordered a couple of items before we arrived. One was a fish and the other a noodle dish. The fish was lightly salted and very mild. Delicious! The pasta was the only thing that was bordering on my spice limit.
Otherwise, we all had rice and Filipino vegetables and a meat fish. Our Filipino friend taught us how they commonly eat without a knife using a fork to break food apart and then using the spoon to scoop a mixture of meat, vegetables and rice up. Everything we tried was delicious and mild.
For dessert we had a slice of purple cake. Which was definitely my favourite part of the meal (aside from the company). They also have a limited selection of Filipino food for purchase.
Definitely a mudg
