Today Special : Filipino Food @ Laguna Mabuhay =D
Curious of what is it like? *scroll down*
For a hot sunny afternoon, one must order their coconut blend drink @ RM6!
Its a combination of coconut juice with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream
*its a bomb of a good refreshing start of the meal*
Due to our lack of knowledge on Filipino food, we opt for the advise of the restaurant owner for some recommendations instead.
He is humble and patient with us as he explained each dishes that he recommended to us.
First dish : Pork Sisig @ RM12
Description: Is a Filipino dish that originated from Pampanga, a province located at the northern part of the Philippines. Known as a popular appetiser for beer drinkers.
It came in a hot plate with a raw egg on top, in this picture below, the staff had already mixed it together with the minced pork containing both ears & jowl.
The texture taste similar to a burger patty with a hint of chilies & calamansi.
A good option to start off eating Filipino food!
Second dish : Sizzling Stuffed Squid @ RM20
The squid is cooked in a perfect timing as it turn out to be soft and tender. *freshness from the sea*
Thumbs up *I really like it*
Third dish : Pinakbet @ RM14
Description: Pinakbet is an indigenous Filipino dish from the northen regions of Philippines. It is made from mixed vegetables steamed in fish or shrimp sauce.
For those who love steam vegetables you got to order this :D
Fourth dish : Crispy Pata a.k.a Pork Knuckle @ RM 43
This is a clear winner of all the dishes that we have tried! *Crowned dish*
Crispy skin and yet tender meat, this is the two main characteristics that a pork knuckles should have.
I can clearly see the satisfaction of my friends face, in just minutes the pork knuckles got stripped off, just left its chunky bones. Is either they are all a hungry beast or its just really delicious.
It comes with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce which can be a help for those who needs more kicking flavours or moisture.
Fifth dish : Grilled Milk Fish with Tomato and Onion @ RM25
First Presentation:
Second Presentation:
Description: Milkfish is known as bangús in the Philippines, where it is considered as a national fish.
The milk fish is stuffed with onions, tomatoes and ginger accompany with a spicy dipping sauce.
However this come in a slight disappointment for me as I find that the fish was a bit on a overcooked side. However my compatriots find it alright.
Nevertheless I have to give a thumb up to the chef on his de-boning skill sets, as this fish is known for its bony skeleton, it must be carefully removed to avoid customer being choked by its thorny bone
Overall damage :
For a group of 5, total damage was RM153, each person RM30.6.
I got to say overall is a reasonable pricing as one can have a coconut blend drink and yet at the same time able to try 5 authentic Filipino dishes!
Good news : no service charge and government tax *Bonus point x 2 *
