Customer Reviews
Definitely a great place to have Halo-Halo and other ice cream desserts, in addition to a full menu of Filipino dishes. The restaurant is located in the second floor of a building housing several restaurants. There are two dining areas that are clean and comfortable. Service was professional; however our server took a long time before he came to take the order. Our order was delivered quickly and the quality excellent. We had the Milky Way Halo Halo, The Ginumis Halo Halo and ice cream. Everyone was happy with their order. In addition, the restaurant sells packaged and jarred items to bring home or give as gifts.
We had merienda here. Coffee and Chamomile Tea. Then decided to get pancit luglug aka palabok and it was really good. Same goes to the dinuguan with puto. Very OG cooking. Like how my Grandmother does it. Then for dessert their other version of panutsa halo-halo. It has all the texture and yummy goodness. Great traditional food overall.
For me this place is over rated. The food is good but too pricey. 700 pesos for a small bowl of lechon paksiw, its too much, not worth of my money. Even the halo halo, its good buy not for the price of almost 300 pesos. All in all, I will not try it again unless a friend would treat me. My consolation is a meet up with my college friends happened in this place. The impact of being too pricey was lessened.
This was in their Arnaiz (formerly Pasay Road) branch. Food was ok, servings too small for the price we paid for. Their guinumis and halo halo is our favorite. Writing my review here because this main branch is not listed in Tripadvisor.
