Lampara - Niles

Had a memorable eCQ week of subscription meals from Lampara last week. Best dishes were Japanese Curry Beef, Satay Lilit, Arroz ala Cubana, Fish Sisig, Chicken Teriyaki, Pastel Chicken and Pepper Beef. Each dish were unique and tasty. Served with rice; 2 dishes per day. Good for one person each meal.

Their veal is to die for. Also, the chocolate dessert is amazing attentive staff who explains all dishes and really good cocktails too. There was a minor inconvenience they promptly fixed! I'm definitely gonna go back

Everything was so good! DIY degustation : it's very affordable compared to others

Booked a dinner with them for two they're pretty responsive to text messaging which is great for me. On the day we scheduled to eat there, we stepped in and the table was already ready for us which was great. Started the night off with their signature cocktails which both were pretty good! Service from the time cocktails were served to the time the first dish was served took a little too long though. Easy favorites from the things we tried would be the duck leg and the sticky rice. The tofu I could pass up on, I was hoping it would be a little more firm. Billing out took a while, but understandable considering the volume of people inside the restaurant the time we dined. Would still have it on the list as a place I could go back to for a nice meal in Poblacion.

We decided to give this new place a try and we were really happy that we did. When we got here it was pretty full. The place isn't too big so I guess it would be best to have a reservation beforehand. But the vibe of the place is really great. It's a nice place for hanging out. The dinuckduckan was highly recommended by the staff and it was really good!! The dish is big. If you guys aren't heavy eaters this is good for 2-3 people. This was good too. The duck was so tender and juicy. Plus the fried egg part was also a nice touch to it. The pork belly was soooo good. This is definitely one of the best porky belly dishes I've ever had. It's so sinfully delicious. The tsokolate and yema dessert was also good! The star of the night for me though was the Melon Milk dessert. It was so so so good. If you've been to Toyo and had their desserts (their desserts are the bomb) I would say that this would be at par with the desserts there. It's so good. You cannot leave Lampara without ordering the melon milk dessert. Overall this place was really great. Despite the place being full our servers were all very nice and attentive.
