your normal food joint elevated to look neat and a bit historical.
we were walking around intramuros when lunch time struch. had to find a place nearby and a guard recommended this to us. we went inside the place and it was rather hot because they don’t have any ac installed. good thing they have a fan ready so it helped cool us down.
the food was not that amazing but it wasn’t bad either. for some reason i actually enjoyed thekare-karewe ordered. for about 300php, it was good to be shared amongst 4 or 5 people. there was a lot of meat in the pot! the pinakbet we got was also good though kinda lacking in salt. a solution we had was to use the extra fish paste from thekare-kareand use it for the pinakbet. yum!
as for service, the staff was nowhere to be found. i guess they were busy eating somewhere. we had to stand-up all the time to get water. i think a little bit of initiative wonmt hurt.
