Good value Filipino food in NorthPoint, Dumaguete.
Family was feeling hungry and so we tried Dagsa-an in North Point, Dumaguete.
Menu wasn't very extensive, and we chose the Pinoy platter P1199, Native Halang-halang P280 and Chop suey P230. Which is a bargain meal for 4 people.

I realized this is a family restaurant and the food is good for sharing. It's just 2 of us so we got pancit canton and the grilled pork chops rice meal. The pancit canton was salty for our taste. The grilled porkchops was good. They were sold out of any fruit shakes and that was disappointing as I was excited to have mango shake.
Our server was friendly and the security guy was also nice and was very concerned we will get wet when it rained and he immediately offered for us to move to a...
