I'm utterly shocked.
I came to Arkansas to join my girlfriend on her business trip and for the most part, I was left in a hotel, so there wasn't a part of me that actually looked forward to it.
So I was browsing DoorDash on my first day alone staying in, and I across Its Sa Wrap.
... wait a minute.
It's... Sarap? That's Filipino!
So being Fil-Am, I had to order it.
I ordered the sisig, halo halo, and turon all for $35, including travel fees because this place was a pretty significant distance from my hotel. In fact, I was surprised to see that it's at a mall.
I was both surprised and laughing at the portion they provided for the sisig. It has plenty of rice and meat. Arguably too much, and I can eat. I was like... "heh, this better be good."
It was delicious.
The rice was fine, but the sisig was delicious. They got all crispy and flavorful scrapings from the pan in there, and the addition of red Filipino chilis added a nice heat to it overall.
The turon was a little more dense than I thought it would be, but that's a good thing. The halo halo was also a typical halo halo -- also a good thing in this part of town.
The flavor, amount of food, and overall value here would cost someone way more than $35 in the Bay Area. This is a win. If I find myself in Arkansas again, I'll definitely seek out this place.
