I decided to get the
Spicy Coconut Chicken combination plate which comes with the soup of day -
Beef Mami noodle soup:
 |
| Beef Mami - Filipino comfort food |
Here's the main dish with egg rolls (you may choose among vegetable, pork, or shrimp egg rolls) and garlic fried rice (or you can get steamed rice). The suka (
vinegar) that came as a dip for the egg rolls was sourly superb:
 |
| Spicy Coconut Chicken - it was mildly spicy, the coconut sauce was subtle, and it paired well with the garlic fried rice. |
 |
| Boneless Bangus - A grilled deboned, lightly marinated milkfish. |
 |
| Pinakbet - Mixed vegetables (squash, okra, long beans, eggplant) with bagoong alamang (shrimp paste), shrimp, and pork. |
For dessert we shared a
halo-halo. Before you eat this dessert, you have to mix the shaved ice, ube (
purple yam) ice cream,
evaporated milk, fruits, and boiled sweet beans. These various ingredients include kidney beans, kaong (sugar palm fruit), langkâ (
jackfruit), macupuno (
coconut) strings,
nata de coco,
leche flan, etc.:

| Halo-Halo - I'd choose this over a smoothie any day, sarap! |
