Philadelphia Filipino Kamayan Feast | Perla πβ¨
A true hands-on dining experience in South Philly β food served directly on banana leaves! Fixed menu, $50 per person. Portions are generous β two of us got a whole grilled fish, half a roast chicken, plenty of lechon (roast pork), 8 spring rolls, rice, and curry β still had leftovers to take home. We were drawn by the kamayan (hand-eating) style β after hiking, we craved something wild and hearty. Loved not having to order β so effortless! The pre-meal bread was incredibly soft and tasty π. Then the server lays down rice, pours curry over it, and arranges spring rolls, roast chicken, fish, and lechon on top. Time to dig in with your hands! I loved the curry β flavorful sauce with tender, well-cooked veggies. Mixed with rice, it was addictive. Eating with hands was fun but a bit messy β definitely missed my spoon and chopsticks at times π₯’. The lechon skin was super crispy! My partnerβs favorite was the roast chicken β rated it as good as Costcoβs famous rotisserie chicken ππ. Dessert was a chocolate mousse β sweet, smooth, and a nice finish to the meal. Overall, a successful and satisfying experience β food quality and quantity were worth the price. Would love if they offered the curry rice as a standalone dish next time! #Philadelphia #PhillyFood #Kamayan #HandEatingFeast #FilipinoFood #PerlaPhilly πβ
