Quaint little place near francesco's resto. Filipino food with a twist. Initially was ready to be unimpressed but the food is actually good. Pricey but i think you can argue that the taste and quality (and portions) would be reasonable. Had the tapa. Really good. Their coffee is okay.
We had brunch here on a Sunday with no issues with the parking. I previously tried the Singaporean Ube Toast and avocado sansrival cake. This time we tried the Filipino breakfast, I'd recommend danggit, churisong hubad and ube macapauno pancake (for sharing). I was kinda disappointed with the tocino, the chicken was tender but the taste was not as tasty as I was expecting.
The tapa was delicious, but I wasn't a fan of how the egg was cooked. The portions were generous, and I was very satisfied with my meal. I’m looking forward to returning to try more of their dishes. The restaurant was a bit small and cold. I requested to be seated at the back in the al fresco area, which was much better for our large group. However, the downside was that the service was slower out there.
Great place for “closest to home cooked” breakfast. Place is small and tight so come in early. Ample parking with security. Food selection is wide. Coffee is “barako” which is good thing to support our local coffee growers.
