Minindal Cuisine — Restaurant in Cagayan de Oro

We wondered why they had a lot of customers during lunchtime, so we decided to try this restaurant out. The other reviews are correct, they serve "lutong-bahay" dishes as well as other dishes. It's like a karinderya but upscaled haha, where they display what dishes they have available and you choose which one you'll order. The food was delicious and more affordable compared to the other restaurants nearby it. Service was a bit slow but considerable because the place was packed during lunchtime, and it was the holiday season, so there were a lot of mall-goers. The interior was nice, homey, and calming, with the wooden decor and plants. They have a big space with enough tables to cater to a lot of customers. No AC though so it could get a little hot.

My family likes Filipino food and especially my Lola just likes simple, homey food, so it's sometimes difficult to find a resto that's affordable and that doesn't sell mostly meat dishes. I think this is a great option if you're looking for an affordable resto with "safe" menu items to bring your parents and...

I did tried their original restaurant located within the vicinity of Gaston park and there seems to be a stark contrast on how this one in Centrio differ from their main. First, the main restaurant was like a typical restaurant serving short orders or catering events. This one in Centrio was set up much like a canteen with ready- cooked meals on hot plate and these are served with rice and side dishes when ordered. Second, the Centrio branch has many desserts and pastries to choose from such as cheese cakes and buko brownies. When it comes to food, it is ok and was a fusion of Filipino and Hispanics origin something older folks from the 1960 and prior are quite familiar and would definitely appreciate. Their food is also quite affordable, about on par with popular fast food budget meals. Despite their novelty, the restaurant does not have many patrons dining (many younger folks seem unfamiliar and unable to appreciate the beauty of home cooked meals this restaurant served), and empty tables...

I wanted to eat at a restaurant that is not in Cebu, it was 10:30am. I approached the servers in the display area that I wanted to order. She mumbled something to the guy mopping the floor. She wanted the guy to take our order. So I waited with my mother. They seemed to be busy preparing the food for display to sell. Minutes passed they still did not take our order even if I was standing in front of them with my mother, waiting and hoping they will finally take our order. There was no other cuatomer but me and my mother. They kept displaying food, setting things up. I wondered if they want to sell food or just display them. After some time I decided they are not interested in getting my order. So we walked away and went to Tokyo Tokyo instead. The purpose of opening the shop is to sell, but the people there seemed to...
