I was tempted to order the Ramen because the five-minute egg and the ramen sounded delicious, but the waiter recommended the Embutido, which was the special of the day. It’s a Filipino meatloaf served over rice and topped with Foie Gras, Spam, a golden raisin coulis, and beer stout jam. It was absolutely delicious! My wife ordered a dish featuring small pieces of fried chicken thigh, cilantro, red pepper, rice, and onion. Wow, that dish had such a variety of textures and flavors that it’s hard to describe. The restaurant has a lovely interior, although it's a bit small, but go there for the food, not for the space! We finished our meal with a sweet treat of fried dough sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, topped with a custard-like sauce (Bicho Bicho).
