5 /5 Christopher Luongo: As a white dude married to a Filipina who eats mostly Filipino food and has been to the Philippines, this spot feels like the islands. I love being in Cebu and the feel to this place is exactly that. The staff are always super friendly. It’s fun when you’re a white dude and can speak their language. It makes you stand out and makes the experience more authentic. I’ve brought my wife with me here and we both agree that while the food is good, it does have a Filipino hint it also seems like the flavors have been toned down for the American palate. Y’all can’t handle real Filipino food. When I tell people what I eat in the Philippines they can never believe me. So I think this place has the taste without being over the top. I normally get the dinaguan or lechon. The dinaguan is good but I don’t think they use organ meat in it. I think it’s just pork belly and the broth isn’t that thick blood broth you get in the ph. But it’s still good and I think they made it easier for the locals here to eat it. The lechon is always good, nice and crispy! I’m very picky with lumpia my mother in law makes the best and I use her as the standard. While these lumpia’s are good they aren’t moms and that’s ok it’s still good. My in laws are great cooks so I’ve been spoiled. I wish they had some Filipino street foods as the Philippines is known for that. But all in all I love going here, I love getting to try and speak to them in their language (they speak English just fine it’s just fun to throw people off) I go here every weekend when I work on south fort hood.
If yall see this add lechon bulaklak and balut to the menu please.
