No idea where to go for dinner as we are starting to miss Filipino food during this holiday…read more We hopped on the underground and after a bus ride we arrived. The staff is super friendly and we chatted after we had placed our order. For starters we had the pork spring rolls with a different twist using pineapple in the sweet and sour sauce. It works well. We ordered ginger tea which was made with real ginger (if you like ginger beer then this is the drink for you). Crispy pata is a must and it was good. It was leaner which was also different in a good way. Aubergine bistec was very delicious and my wife commented that she has never tasted anything like it before (she enjoyed it very much). As a treat we met with Chef Rommel and his wife Claudine. They are both very personable. We were given an opportunity to taste chef's latest creation "Sapin Sapin" a three layer Filipino dessert; ube, langka (Jackfruit), and coconut. Five stars all the way... So when in London make sure to go here if you're in the mood for some Filipino food.

The stew is flavourless or lacking of flavour. For the price of the fish should be deboned already. Trying to removed a lot of fish bone and it's a turn off that I'm a bit afraid to choke with the fish bones. Ambiance of the restaurant: wine glass and white table cloths on the table that they trying to make an upperclass restaurant. But the end of the day. The food quality is more important. Should consider the quality of food before everything else

Hubby and I visited this restaurant after visiting the British Museum nearby. We even got to see…read morethe FSU London campus on the walk over from the museum :). Tucked away on Charlotte, this family restaurant offers authentic Filipino food to central London since 1996. Coming from Atlanta where there is no Filipino restaurants (fusion and food court stalls do not count!), we always take the opportunity to eat filipino food if it is available in the city we are visiting. Any restaurant is better than none at all! We visited at a weird time so it was relatively quiet. Therefore I got to sit at the table by the window and service felt very special/ private. It was like we had rented the whole restaurant to ourselves. The waiter (son of the restaurant) spent the whole time catering to us -salamat po! He was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He provided much care and attention from the beginning to the end of our visit here. He provided us the local asian newspaper and even when we left offered to help us with instructions to get to places to we wanted to visit. I believe mother was cooking in the kitchen (I saw her once at the beginning) and dad was cleaning the pictures/looking for something to do. Next time I am going to ask him to join us to eat and chat! lol. As I was mentioning before that whenever we get a chance to eat filipino food, that means ordering ever possible dish we can fit into our two bellies lol. Here is what we ordered: *Keep in mind I know that this place cannot compare to food from the Philippines but its freaking good to someone who lives where there is not 1 Filipino restaurant! 1. Red horse - My husbands necessity- no happy horse ^-^ 2. Lechon- Fresh, hot, and crispy. So good! We had leftovers and I packed them up as a snack for my husband later during the day. So many people later on asked me what delicious food I had hidden in my bag and I told them Lechon from here :). Huge portion. 3. Chicken Adobo- Rich sauce and refreshing soft chicken. Just what we needed to gain some energy back as a tourists who were walking.....A LOT! 4. Pork Sisig - I was surprised to find this bar/street food here, but I am glad they have it! OMG TO DIE FOR! Deep, bold flavor and texture. Spicy and savory. 5. Halo Halo - A must... period... end of discussion! Get it! Everything was delicious. And yes, we ate all of it in one sitting except for some of the Lechon. Not bad between 2 people :). I highly recommend!

For the more leisurely visit, start with sea bream ceviche or go the vegan route Vegetable Lumpia (has nuts). As it was lunch for me, I began with an Ube Latte to drink which was tasty, but you could go for weeks trying various teas: Lemon Verbena, Turmeric Chai, Paradise Punch. And that's only a launching point to the World Beers and Handcrafted Cocktails portion of the menu. The more adventurous will try Batangas Bad Boy (10 year Talisker) or Boracay Dreams (rum, Malibu, coconut cream). But I needed to have a productive second-half of the day, so next time for those. On to the main course. I normally would be all over the "all-time favorite" Pork Hock, but as it was later in the travel week I opted for sea bass. It was a solid choice. The pandan leaf wrap locked in the moisture and flavor, and the soy lime dressing was definitely not for the faint of spicy-heart without adding rice. The noodles looked excellent at the table nearby, picking between chicken, shrimp, vegan, even sardines. Since I needed to be awake for some meetings, dessert wasn't an option this time, but the Banana Turon fritters would fit the bill nicely. Service was friendly and prompt, while still allowing time to dwell and savor. I'll schedule a return on a Friday to enjoy tapas "journey of Filipino flavours".

My friends ordered the Crispy Pata, Sea Bass, and Spring Chicken Adobo. Now, being the herbivore of the group I ordered the roasted butternut squash relleno - a healthy vegan masterpiece. As far as libations, , I sipped on the tropical delight of the pina colada mocktail, Clei strutted his stuff with the exquisite Ube Martini, Jorge went for a classic beer, and Jerry enjoyed a glass of wine. To wrap up our flavor-filled escapade, we shared the calamarsi lime tart, and Maja Blanca. I didn't care for the Maja Blanca, but the calamansi tart was delish. Service was good, and the vibe was fabulous. Overall, I give it 5 stars.

The focus on ingredients is mainly Filipino, with a selection of both freshly made sweet and savoury street style dishes to take home.

Our bus stop was walking distance to Little Manila in Earl's Court, so off we went. A couple in our party of six had promising reviews of this resto which led to our consensus for dinner. We were sat in the upper area and I immediately noticed the Philippines inspired art adorning the walls. I just got the steaming Arroz Caldo (chicken & rice porridge) as it felt right for that night's chilly weather. The group ordered comfort food like Inihaw na Liempo (grilled pork belly), Inihaw na Manok (barbecue chicken), Sinigang Na Sugpo (prawn in sour broth), Lechon Kawali (deep-fried pork belly) and Sizzling Sisig (tasted and smelled like the ones in Manila during the 80's). Food amazingly exceeded my expectations. Service was to be expected of Filipinos, funny & exceptional. No wonder this tiny eatery has been existing since the it's inception in the 90's.
