What a difference a year makes…read more I was here a year ago and was happy to learn they've stayed consistent with their service as well as their food offerings. They've been like this since I began coming through 5 or so years ago which is why I keep coming back. Consistency is always key! So when I returned one year later, I expected the same. However, I was met with a bit of disappointment. Party of 8, we were seated immediately. I was surprised it isn't more crowded especially when it's supposed to be a lunch rush hour. Big Bro and I kinda had an idea what we wanted but we skimmed through the menu anyway - just in case. We were bummed they no longer have the tuyonesca, but we understand menus change a lot. But we were happy to learn they still have the ATM pizza! Added my usual squid ink pasta. Curious about the pesto marinara pasta as well as the fish and chips. (I know that sounds like a lot for two people, but we shared this with the rest of our party. And I just really wanted a taste.) The squid ink pasta was still on point! Check! PASTA BOLOGNESE: This is actually Hubbers' plate. No disappointment here. Has a slight kick which added to the dish's character. I liked it. FISH AND CHIPS: This would have been great if they didn't use old oil. That aroma was unmistakable and that kinda took away the dish's main essence. Batter was thin and crispy and the fish was soft and flaky. The seasoning was on point as well. If it didn't have that old oil smell, this would have been perfect. PESTO MARINARA PASTA: Okay, so Big Bro and I ordered this because how would they mix pesto AND marinara sauce at the same time? Welp... that's exactly what happened here. The marinara sauce was more a base, topped with pesto pasta. I liked it more than I thought I would. The pasta was cooked al dente and the bread was a good pairing. ATM PIZZA: The pièce de resistance, the one thing Big Bro and I were looking forward to. (Before I move on, I asked our server if we have the option of getting this thin crust - she said they don't offer it that way. No worries.) Anyway. Big Bro and I each got a slice and I immediately knew it was off before I even took a bite. First, the crust was so thick, it barely cooked through, so the toppings under all that cheese also barely cooked through. Second, the mushroom and tomato flavors and aroma were abundant. I gave it a few more little bites looking for the anchovy part of this pizza, and guess what: it's missing. It was disappointing enough to ask the server if she could ask the chef about it. She came back saying the anchovy has been mixed in the sauce. That was a challenge to believe as well because neither one of us got even the tiniest hint that there was anchovy in this pizza. VERDICT: I had to plow through my slice. Big Bro barely finished his. It really was a let down. FOOD: 3.5. Saving grace here is the squid ink pasta. SERVICE: 4.5. Out server was patient with us. Service with a smile is always a plus! VALUE: 3. Barely worth it, PARKING: Private lot. Street parking also available. OVERALL: 3.5. A slight demotion. I had recently bought anchovy flakes, so an idea came to mind: bring home the pizza, top it with anchovy flakes, warm it up using the air fryer and cross fingers. It ended up tasting much like the way we had it at Mrs. Bakers on our first run. At least the rest of the leftover pizza didn't go to waste. But I'm not counting them out just yet. So long as they're around, I'll keep coming back. I just hope the disappointment ends here...

It's a hidden gem - and I mean that literally. If you drive too fast, you will absolutely miss it. It's in a very unassuming location, but I'll say it's a great find! Late lunch, we were seated immediately. I was pleasantly surprised at how big this place is! (Seriously, its outside appearance made me assume it's small - can accommodate up to ten, maybe. But nope - they might be able to fit three times as much.) QR code menus - a first for me in the Philippines - so I thought that was cool. Our hunger helped with decision making. WINTERMELON MILK TEA: Excellent! It's the exact taste I'm used to! (Back story: I ordered this at Chow King onto far from here - it was horrible!) So we're off to a good start! KARE KARENG GULAY: This was to satisfy my curiosity: vegetarian-ish Kare Kare? Yes, please! Veggies were fresh, but it's all about the peanut sauce which was perfect! Side of a sautéed shrimp paste made it even bette. I'd be happy with just this and a bowl of rice. YUM! BUNDLE C: Comes with rice, blanched vegetables and your choice of three main dishes. We went for the liempo, daing na bangus and Buffalo chicken. My eyes popped when it was delivered: holy [bleep!!!], that's a lot of food. I know it says it's for 4-5 people, but this is more for up to 6-8, if portioned right. Liempo was grilled to order (perfect char and seasoning), fish was fried to order (generous with three pieces) as with the wings (perfect amount of sauce - it didn't take away the main essence of the fried chicken.) They timed it all so perfect that when that tray of goodness came out, everything was hot. All of them were YUM!!! We all walked out happy, and on the drive home, that's when I realized they forgot to serve us the balanced veggies. But honestly, we enjoyed what we had that we didn't even miss it. FOOD: 5. Loved everything. SERVICE: 4.75. Would have been perfect if not for the missing balanced vegetables with the bundle, otherwise, staff were friendly and available when needed. The call button on the tables were pretty handy! VALUE: 5. Quantity + quality + bargain pricing = excellent eats! PARKING: a couple of really small spots up front but you're better off parking on the street. Be mindful of blocking local residents' driveways, though. OVERALL: 4.75. Feel like eating just like the locals (with your hands)? They provide gloves. FUN FACT: Their TGIF stands for "Taste Goodness In Food." Clever! There will be a repeat visit on my next visit! I'm gonna bet they'll earn that 5th star then.

This has now been taken over by a new owner with a new name. What I found interesting is that the food we had this time around was pretty much similar to the ones we had last time. Parking was never an issue. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, although, I can't imagine eating outside with the heat and humidity. The selections are widespread: to name some, there was steamed clams, fried fish, seafood soup, pansit, fresh lumpia, fried chicken, the various ways pork and beef were prepped (beef steak, kare-kare, dinuguan, etc.) There was absolutely no way one would leave hungry. Food coma was going to be inevitable. Did I mention they had a pretty good selection of desserts! Halo halo, bibingka, etc...(Not a fan, but just putting it out there for those who are!) Funny enough, Big Bro pointed out they didn't have shabu-shabu. The servers were a tad bit slow to bring drinks and clear used plates, but since the place is fairly new, I can let that slide. 3.5 stars. So yeah... it's only fair to say I liked it. For less than the equivalent of $6, it's a steal. Check it out should you find yourself nearby.
