We were the only customers (they opened 45 minutes early), but it took a while for our orders to arrive, coming out one at a time. The Pinakbet was the first to arrive and was quite good. Next came the Pigar-pigar, which was tender and tasty. The Sinampalokang Kambing followed, and it was delicious as well, though it had little meat and a lot of soup. The Crispy Kare-Kare arrived last, and by then we were already full, so we ended up taking it home. I inquired about their coffee menu, but unfortunately, the server informed me that their coffee machine was broken.

The reality of our meal fell short of our expectations, making it feel overpriced. I was so disappointed that I didn't even bother taking pictures of the food.
