It's nothing fancy, but it's quite nicely set up - a big TV showing singing contests from the Philippines, two counters on either side of the narrow shop, a dessert counter and lots of bakery items on top, and a hot food counter at the back, where you can glimpse the cook making a massive cauldron of whatever they are making through the window in the dividing wall.

It's nothing fancy, but it's quite nicely set up - a big TV showing singing contests from the Philippines, two counters on either side of the narrow shop, a dessert counter and lots of bakery items on top, and a hot food counter at the back, where you can glimpse the cook making a massive cauldron of whatever they are making through the window in the dividing wall. The guy serving was friendly and had the patience to answer all my questions (mostly "What's this? What's that?).
We had the bamboo wrapped rice (very apt for the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival), which came in two's, and a little cling film wrapped sauce in a little pouch. Then we had the pancit which was very similar to stir fried vermicelli with vegetables in Chinese cuisine. The calamansi is an extra buck, and it comes without you asking for you, but then it's only $1, I won't call it a sly attempt to make money out of you, and it does make it taste better. And then the adobo which was pork in a slightly sour sauce, since they ran out of the chicken. Then for dessert we went for the meringue roll which had a fluffy but slightly spongy texture (as opposed to the western meringue which is more crusty), and the coconut pie (just like apple pie but with slices of coconut). We also bought some special brownies and cheesecake as takeaway.
