We hadn't had a proper meal the whole day and it was already late. Luckily, we found this hole in the wall place that was opened until 2am.
There was a drunken karaoke party going on when we entered so we already knew this was a versatile place.
My friend was craving soup so we ordered the bulalo. It came with a hearty portion of meat that easily slid off the bone.
The sizzling sisig was sublime. It was a proper sinew-y sisig with finely chopped pig ears. The meals all come with rice and your choice of drink. They serve sangria, Filipino beer, and delicious Filipino dessert drinks here. They also had homemade Filipino snacks, saran-wrapped to-go.
The owner also owns 2 other restaurants in the area, from what I could understand as they mainly spoke Tagalog. It is definitely a family-oriented business and they were all very welcoming. My friend decided to sing some Taiwanese classics. (The karaoke selection is truly marvelous).

We ordered siomai, sisig, grilled squid, and pork BBQ, and every dish was incredibly delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, just like home cooking. In the evening, the place comes alive with karaoke, and it was heartwarming to see so many Filipinos gathering to enjoy good food, music, and quality time with family. Highly recommended for anyone missing the taste and spirit of the...
Read moreAs I eat filipino food literally every day at home cooked by a very competent person I am quite picky when it comes to filipino food. We ordered pancit canton, kare kare and some other dishes. My favorite PH dish is normally sisig but this one was cooked the traditional way, which I can't fault of course, but I don't understand how you can eat cartilage. The kare kare also had stomach in it which I also assume is according to the original recipe but no, not my cup of tea. The sauce was delicious though. Ordered some lechon kawali to mix the sauce of the kare kare. That mix plus rice...
