I am very satisfied with their service. The dining area was really clean and tables were spaced comfortably. Food presentation was much better than our initial expectation. We were notified that portions were quite big and with no other knowledge, we just randomly ordered off the menu.
We started off with some baked mussels "Baked Tahong" - as stated on the menu: "baked greenshell mussels with tomatoes, red onions, scallions, and garlic". The dish was not bad, just nothing special. It is a taste we can achieve at home. (Cost: $8.25)
Next, we orderd a "Bicol Express"- as stated on the menu: "for hot and spicy lovers, this is bicol region's main dish, three kinds of peppers sauteed with pork, shrimp, scallions then finished with coconut milk". We asked to have it extra spicy. This dish was spicy but we have had spicier dishes before, our disappointment is it was way too salty. Extreme sodium overdose. This will be a dish we will not order anymore. (Cost: $9.95)
Our final dish was "GBangus Belly" (name copied from the receipt) - it was some grilled milkfish. Every other table ordered some fish so we decided to do so too. Milkfish sounded interesting but the taste was lost through this method of cooking. We believe it is some frozen fish. We also think it would have made no difference if Salmon was used. (Cost: 12.95)
Rice is quite expensive here when compared to ordering from Chinese restaurants. It was $3.50 for 2 bowls, we had no problem finishing it because overall, the food is quite salty.
Lunch for three came to just over $40 with tips. We will come back again, but not for the same dishes we tried today.
