    Yum, yum, yum! I have been wanting to try this place for YEARS after learning it served Philippine food. Years later and, it did-not-disappoint! Everything was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The only problem: I couldn't stop eating it.

    Everything was absolutely delicious. The crispiness of the lechon paired so well with the rice. Get their garlic rice. It's worth the up-charge. My only gripe with them is that the pork is fatty so all the oil goes on the rice which I don't exactly like but besides that, I want to come back and order other items I haven't tried yet.

    We came for the crispy lechon belly but accidentally ordered the lechon Kawali bowl instead. A very happy mistake because the pork belly was braised to the perfect melt in your mouth bites. It was crispy and tender at the same time. Paired with the garlic rice and egg and you have the most satisfying rice bowl out there! They also sell Gwenies desserts! Gotta grab a slice of the ube cheesecake or some pandan cake! Next time we are definitely getting that Lechon Belly combo! Already looking forward to my next visit

    I've been hearing lots of good things about this place and then finally got to try it. The place is unexpectedly a lot smaller than I thought it would be. My friends and I had to cram together on a small table, but they gave us so much food for the cost. It was definitely worth it, and I enjoyed the food a lot. It was a bit salty but satisfying regardless. I particularly enjoyed this ube dessert because it was such fun texture and wasn't too strong in taste or sweetness.
