We came in a huge party (20 people), but because one of us called ahead, they were able to put tables together and get us seated relatively quickly, which we definitely appreciated. The restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived at around 2:30pm on a Sunday, so we definifely had quite a wait to get our food and drinks. Given the circumstances and the size of our party, I can't count it against them!
I'll try to keep my notes brief!
Calamansi juice: refreshing, sweet, a little tart and bitter due to the calamansi (Phillipine lime). The bitterness lingers a little, but I still enjoyed it!
Chicharron Bulaklak (crispy ruffle fat): crispy, flavorful, but super greasy! The vinegary dip definitely helps to cut the greasiness, but be prepared!
Classic Pork Sisig: flavorful and tasty, but there were bits of cartilage throughout. While it wasn't my favorite sisig due to the seasoning and texture, it still did the trick.
Sinigang na baboy: my favorite today! It was hot, a little sour, savory, and tasty. The pork inside was nicely tender. This was perfect after a night of drinking! No photo because I was across the table and couldn't take a photo before we all got into it lol
Sizzling Tofu: it was definitely sizzling! This wasn't quite my style, but if you like mayo, and a little sweet/savory, it might work for you. It made me think of an apple mayo salad but with tofu instead of apple and hot instead of cold...
Max's Fried Chicken: thin, crispy skin with soft meat. It was lightly seasoned, and while I say the meat was soft, it wasn't juicy - it was a little dry, but the menu recommends eating it with banana ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, which might help with that. While it wasn't my favorite chicken, it was worth trying!
Garlic fried rice: solid, as you'd expect!
Overall, I appreciated their service, enjoyed the food, and would definitely be happy to order the sinigang again!
