I went here with my friends/ classmates on Saturday after Cantonese class. One of my friends had heard from a helper that this was the best place to go for Filipino food, which doesn't surprise me, as it's like one of only two places in town that does it, though the owner here I've heard is Indonesian. While it may be busy weekdays at lunch or at night, the place is absolutely empty on Saturday at lunch. Here's what we got: Green beans: pretty standardSpicy fried fish: we had a pescatarian in th

Green beans: pretty standard
Spicy fried fish: we had a pescatarian in the group so we tried to get some fishy things. It was kind of in a sweet sauce and wasn't very spicy. I didn't have a lot, but it seemed to be fine.We also got a seafood appetizer platter (not pictured, I forgot). All the seafood was fried. It had whole mussels in the shell, shrimp, squid, and fish. The fish was the favorite at the table, so if you want to order just one seafood appetizer, I'd go with that. The platter also came with a potato salad, but that was freezer-burned and had clearly just come out of the freezer, so big thumbs down on that one.
The green curry was serviceable. I mean, green curry is always good, and this was a great thing for a big group, but going on your own, you should stick to the specialties of the restaurant.
Everybody loves Singapore noodles. These were OK. Personally I prefer a stronger curry taste, and thought these were a little on the bland side. Additionally, I prefer the version with lots of shrimp and char siu and vegetables and this was mostly just noodles.
My favorite dish was the pork adobo. It's certainly not what I'd experienced under the label 'adobo' before (Mexican chipotles in adobo). Instead, it's pork cooked in a thin sauce of vinegar and soy sauce. It's really flavorful, and I would come back to this restaurant for this dish.
I thought the crispy pata was going to be mind blowing, but it was just alright. There's not a lot of meat, mostly just bones, skin, and fat. I like those things, but I like it more when there's meat on the bones. Still, it was good.I certainly thought the food here was fine. The menu is extensive and not everything they make is the best rendition of that dish. I'd recommend sticking to the things that are hard to find elsewhere, especially the adobo, and the pata if that's your thing.
