I wanted to eat some Philippines food and my Filipino friend thought that this would be a great place to bring me. The fish is not really my favorite. I still prefer my Bangus fried instead of stuffed. My favorite of the lot is actually the crispy pork. I cleaned up the entire plate. But of course, I have had nicer ones in Manila. Haven't really figured out the names of those dishes though.This little restaurant is tucked in a corner but I find the music a little too loud. Could be because I went on the wrong date and there was an event inside. The price is a little on the steep side too.

Visiting this filipino restuarant named after the official number of islands philippines has is a relatively luxurious experience. The ambience is nice - warm light yet not too dimmed. There is supposed to be life band from Thur to Sun. However, since we went on Monday, we have to give it a miss. Thanks to my equally warm friends, I have a great experience getting to know the food - from the taste, to the way they are cooked (from their elaborate description), to understanding more about their culture. I like the sour soup best (Sinigang Fish Double) - for those who can't take too sour stuff, this may be a challenge. But when taken in between the heavy dishes, it creates an appetite for more. Sizzling Sisig (minced pork on hot plate) goes very well with rice and beer. Rellenong Bangus (stuffed milk fish) is also delicious, yummy! Finally, there is the crispy pata (very fatty crispy pork strips) and chicken pork Adobo. Most of the dishes are not easy to cook. Let's take a simple example - Chicken Pork Adobo: In this case, the combination of pork and chicken is slowly cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, bay leaf, and black peppercorns, and browned in the oven or pan-fried afterward to get the desirable crisped edges. Hence two rounds, and this is considered relatively simpler. Most of the patrons are filipinos , and my friends enjoy the music very much (even though it was just piped-in music for that evening). Okay, filipinos out there, here's the place for you. For those who have not been to philppines, and want the real thing, this is the place too !Basically, it's as good as it can be.
