    This Filipino restaurant is lacking of flavour. From the normal Filipino food In Philippines…read more I ordered Milk fish (Bangus) £10+ that's is soak with vinegar and garlic for few hours before you fried them and black pudding stew common to Filipino as Dinuguan £10+. 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!

    Only a few blocks away from the hordes teeming from Olympia exists your Philippine oasis. You'll…read moreneed the exercise given the overwhelming choices and generous portions to try. 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".

    Hello my foodie followers! Today's food destination is Romulo Cafe in London. This place was…read morerecommended by one of our flight attendants, so we had to try it. 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.
