Pinoy taste

Since this Filipino restaurant moved to its current location at Jalan Chan Chin Ann, it was our first visit to its restaurant. 


We went to the restaurant after picked up hubby's niece from her hostel. It was after 1pm when we reached the shop.  The place wasn't packed and we able to sit in front of the shop.


Beside Pinoy dishes that handled by the kitchen at the back, they also had 2 stalls in the shop; one selling Sarawak laksa while another one is doing claypot dishes such as ginger chicken, kacangma etc. But we were more interested in the Pinoy cuisine, so we placed our order with the waitress once we were seated.


We ordered its crispy pata (small portion), which I remembered it was nice when I had it in its old place in Padungan. However I felt this round, the pork was tougher and less flavourful.  Everyone didn't mind the crispy skin but I thought the meat was bland and dry. 



Pininyahang manok (pineapple chicken) on the other hand, was pretty appetizing and robust with flavour. White cream with chunks of pineapples and chilli slices gave this dish a delightful sweetness.  


We had this stir fried mani cai with egg, which was good although slightly salty. 

We ordered their set meal without drink (which was few cents less than RM10 each) to enjoy as well. 




That was our hearty Malaysia's Day lunch.

I had their crispy pata at their old location when it first opened but it was mostly fat, not much meat so I did not enjoy it. Now I have a Facebook friend here - can't wait to drop by and try!
