Halfway through our 6hr drive to Pangasinan, I asked my company if they're up for a lunch stop…read more (We were due, been on the road too long!) But I asked if it's possible to go somewhere that's not franchised. You know: a place locals go to. This place was suggested. I remember coming through here but that must have been decades ago - if at all. But the turo-turo style looked very familiar. And boy, there was plenty I wanted to try! FRESH LUMPIA: Good, but I've had better. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't made-the-same day fresh given the wrap's appearance. (It looked like it was in the warmer for far too long.) But it is delicious, most especially with the sauce. I'd most likely skip it next time. LECHON KAWALI: Really liked this! Skin was crispy and meat was moist. No hints of dryness at all. The homemade liver sauce made it even better. Recommending! DINUGUAN: Flavor was subtle and not gamey at all. Perfect salt level. Didn't have more than a small bite, but what I had was good. GINILING: I'm not a fan of peas, but I understand it's standard with this dish. No biggie - I have no issues separating them. All good from there on! Really good balance of sweet and savory flavors. Meat was cooked well. The rest of the sidekicks blended well. PANCIT PALABOK: This looked AMAZING! And then it wasn't. The whole plate was COLD. Noodles: cold, Sauce: COLDER. I hope this is NOT how they normally serve it. They may have not been aware the warmers for noods and sauce was off.... DAING NA BANGUS: Nothing to call home about, but it is what one would expect. Pretty decent size. FOOD: 4. Even with the cold palabok. SERVICE: 3. Very little interaction. VALUE: 4. 6 dishes plus rice plus drinks for three people for the bargain price of $15? Score. PARKING: Street only. I didn't notice a parking lot. OVERALL: 3.75. They're a very popular stop for travelers trekking between the north and south regions of Luzon. Not once was the place empty the whole time we were there. Keeping them in mind for the next trek should I head this way again if only to try their other dishes. Homemade stuff is far better than fast food franchise eats, hands down.

I thought long and hard: "Why do I feel like I've been here before?"…read more I haven't. It was the pizza joint next door I've been to... ... ANYWAY! Quick grub stop on our way to Pangasinan and Big Bro and I agreed the driver should choose where to eat, "so long as it's indoors and there's AC." This was his choice, and that's how we ended up here. We put in our orders, paid, got our number and sat down. I looked around as we patiently waited and then realized their AC isn't functioning well. It was a tad bit too warm in here! It's better than being outside, but not as good as we much preferred. *** SIGH!!! *** CHINESE STYLE FRIED CHICKEN (W/ A SIDE OF WONTON SOUP): Fried chicken had a great crunch but seasoning was bland. Nothing a little salt/soy sauce couldn't fix. It also tasted like it has been sitting under a warmer for awhile. The soup wasn't that much better and it didn't help that it only came with three barely-stuffed wontons. Again, soy sauce to the rescue, so it was kinda fixable. The chips were in the beginning phases of staleness. The rice was the only perfect thing on the plate. FOOD: 2. Under par, for sure. The plate and side I got needs work. VALUE: 3. You get what you pay for. SERVICE: 4. I upped it one star because I feel the staff is overworked. They seemed a little overwhelmed when a rush of peeps came through. It makes me wonder if they've all been working longer hours than scheduled. (This place is open 24/7, after all...) PARKING: Private lot, but not a lot of spots. Street parking is also available. OVERALL: 3. Not impressed. Still debating if it deserves to make it to my one-and-done list, but I think I'll leave it in limbo for awhile... I'll let the next visit decide its final fate.

First order of the business: lunch at Kusina Luntian…read more Filled ourselves with the popular Pako Salad, a combination of fresh ferns tossed in local vinaigrette, tomatoes, and salted egg. The other dishes were also garnished with Pako stems. We got liempo and tapa matched with their original Calamansi Juice on the side. The service is fast and payment is settled upon order. Utensils are not provided so enjoy the meals served in coconut shells and banana leaf with bare hands. This restaurant recently launched a branch in Quezon City.
