All the usual Filipino menu. A nice place to meetup friends. Ambience is the traditional Filipino home in the dining areas and some display for sale of various items. Nice and friendly staff. Open only up to 8pm.

The place is not airconditioned but the place have a cool wind blowing inside the restaurant. Al fresco set up. They have a good service. Food, I tasted the chopsuey, lechon kawali, kilawin, lumpia and gambas. A bit disappointed with how it was cooked. May it was servered so fast they forgot to keep up with the quality of the food. Lechon kawali is not crispy. The Gambas is far from the actual receipe. Gambas turned to a shrimp chopsuey. The chopsuey is spot on but lacks other ingredients. The kilawin was terrific. With right acidity and it was delicious. The lumpia left a curiousity in me. Was it cooked with a longganisa meat? Or with chicken? It left me baffled. But it was delicious. Which clinged to my taste buds. And last but not the least, the lechon kawali. Maybe it was cooked in haste which left it not crispy. Salted evenly and correctly. The taste is delicious. However, it lacks the crisp which everybody know that a lechon must be crispy and if not then what do we call them? However, the ambiance is pretty nice. Except for some customer who I think they are regulars in the area. They very much disgusting. They might find it funny. But for some customer it is disgusting. They fart!! Not just once, not twice but the whole time they were there. I guess this is a custom for them? Well, the management don't care. Well my conclusion. Its a good place to grab a bite. According to my uncle it is the only place which have a decent food in the area. Well, there is a pros and cons. But the experience I had in that journey is an average. Hot day, cool place and fairly place to eat.
