A casual and clean cafe serving authentic cuisine of the Philippines, Turo Turo is tucked away in the quiet Changi Business Park area, and mostly frequented by office workers during lunch. Boasting home cooked Filipino food that is tasty and affordable, Turo Turo The Pinoy Kitchen is a true hidden gem.Ambience at Turo Turo is comfortable and casual, with distinct touches of decor from the Philippines.

Ambience at Turo Turo is comfortable and casual, with distinct touches of decor from the Philippines. Model toys and other knick knacks that represent Filipino culture are spread throughout the interior, and the brightly lit signboard displaying the menu is a huge eye-catcher. Lighting within is moderate, though I felt the furniture was functional but not so comfortable.
Service at Turo Turo is very good. The usual Filipino courtesy and hospitality is evident, staff are friendly and welcoming, food is prepared and served quickly. Though Turo Turo looks like a self-service place, staff actually serve you tableside. Communication is acceptable, staff can converse well in English.Food at Turo Turo is simple, authentic, rustic Filipino fare. Dishes have a good portion size, and prices are lower than normal for a cafe, costing an average of less than SGD $10 per person. Presentation of food is lacking, looking somewhat simple, but is tasty and hearty.
The Beer San Miguel is among the cheapest in Singapore, with a bottle costing an amazing low price of SGD $4.50!
Tapsilog (SGD $7) is a traditional Filipino dish that consists of cured beef (Tapa) grilled to perfection, garlic fried rice (Sinangag), and a fried egg (Itlog). The Tapsilog here is literal in its interpretation, those are the only items you're served. But the beef is still moist and very tasty, with good grill flavour and smokiness. The garlic fried rice is fragrant and each grain has a nice coating of flavour, although it looks plain.
The Tocino With Tomato And Salted Egg (SGD $8) features a cured pork bacon (Tocino) that has a sweet and tart flavour, and is less salty than regular bacon. Balanced by the freshness of the tomato and the saltiness of the salted egg, the Tocino With Tomato And Salted Egg is a comfort meal.
