Kasama Cafe — Restaurant in Northern Territory

Grabing masarap ng pagkain dito! I've recently moved to Darwin not knowing much, and to my surprise there is a lot of Filipino influence here. Kasama Café is an incredible cafe serving cafe classics but more importantly, Filipino classics.

For this breakfast visit I had their hotsilog (traditional Filo breakfast with red hotdog, rice, and egg) accompanied with banana ketchup and a few pieces of pickled veggies. This was a nostalgic trip; it was like I was back home. Even the plate mimics a banana leaf, which was a really nice touch.

We also tried their ham and cheese sourdough toastie with added grilled tomato. It was grilled well and tasty. Being a toastie, it was less like bread used for a bruschetta, however it was great nonetheless.

I had to try their Ube Latte and it is what you'd expect and more. Super velvety foam, smooth textured milk, and an absolute delight from the ube flavor. I highly recommend trying this if you've never had ube anything. We also tried an iced Milo and again, nostalgia.

Staff are super friendly and the interior is welcoming; it feels like eating with family at home.

I recommend trying any Filipino classics here as it is the star of the show. I'm definitely going back to try more, especially...

Tina, the cafe owner and chef, offers a reasonably priced menu with plenty of choices. I especially enjoyed the simple fried eggs and bowl of steamy rice – a quick, easy, healthy, and affordable option that I'll definitely order again. Masarap, masarap! (Delicious!)

What made my visit even more special was the opportunity to chat with three regular customers who shared stories about the Philippines and their home provinces. I even picked up a little more Tagalog! I'm eager to visit Kasama Cafe...

I went to this place for lunch on Boxing Day. I understood that it was a busy day and might take longer than normal for preparing the meal. However, if they had told me before I ordered that it would take at least 1 hour for the preparation of grilled pork belly and fried noodles, I may not choose to sit there without knowing what they were doing during that one-hour waiting time. I even noticed that a family with four people that came after me were served before me. Absolutely disappointed with how I was treated on that day, which should be a...
