🇨🇦 Mind-Blowing Filipino Feast: A Portion & Price Revelation! 🤯
Let me just say—WOW. What you see in this photo (a massive 2-person Kamayan feast plus two grilled chicken skewers) cost us only $56 including tip! 😱💰 That’s right, an absolute mountain of food for an unbelievably reasonable price. Now, let’s be real—the flavors were decent but nothing extraordinary (fairly mild seasoning overall). However, the sheer value and authenticity make this spot a must-try for the experience alone! 🍽️ The Kamayan Spread – $25/person This traditional Filipino bare-handed feast (yes, no utensils!) comes piled high on banana leaves with: 🐟 Milkfish – Flaky and tender 🦑 Grilled Squid – Chewy with a nice char 🦪 Mussels – Fresh but simple 🍖 Pork Skewers – Juicy and slightly sweet 🍆 Eggplant & Okra – Roasted to smoky perfection 🥓 Grilled Pork Belly – Crispy edges, melt-in-your-mouth fat 🦐 Jumbo Shrimp – Plump and succulent 🥭 Mango Salad – Refreshingly tangy 🍊 Orange Slices – A bright, citrusy finish ...all served atop garlic fried rice loaded with crispy shallots—INSANELY fragrant and addictive! 🤤🍚 And here’s the kicker: Unlimited rice refills! (Though good luck finishing even the first round—this feast is massive.) 🍗 Extra Chicken Skewers – $6 We added two chicken skewers (because why not?), and they were a highlight! Tender, smoky, and paired with a tangy-sweet dipping sauce that elevated every bite. 🍢🔥 🏠 About the Spot – Tinuno This no-frills eatery (part of a small chain) is packed at mealtimes—and for good reason!
