I recently had the pleasure of joining my friend from ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ for another exciting food review vlog. This time, we were invited by ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ฉ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฎ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ to explore and savor their authentic Filipino cuisine.

To kick things off, we were served Dynamite Shrimp. This dish was incredibly flavorful, with a perfect blend of sweet, salty, and spicy notes. It had an intriguing aftertaste reminiscent of a popular dish that I couldn't quite place (but it was delightful nonetheless).

Next, we sampled their drinks: Iced Tea, Sago't Gulaman, Coconut Drink Frappe, and my personal favorite, Peanut Butter Frappe. While the drinks were enjoyable, they were a bit too sweet, making them a bit cloying to finish. Nonetheless, the effort and creativity in the drinks were appreciated.

We then moved on to a platter of mixed Pinoy street foods, including Isaw, Squid Ball, Kikiam, Fish Ball, Tokneneng (quail egg), and Grilled Chicken, accompanied by three different sauces: regular sweet sauce, sweet chili sauce, and vinegar with chili. This platter truly captured the essence of Pinoy street vibes, transporting us to the bustling streets of the Philippines. The experience brought back fond memories and a sense of nostalgia.

The main courses were a highlight: Kare-Kare and Fried Daing na Bangus. Both dishes were exceptional, with the Bangus being crispy and the Kare-Kare rich and flavorful, especially when paired with alamang. Even though Iโm on a diet, resisting these dishes was impossible!

Lastly, we were treated to Halo-Halo and Maja Blanca, two beloved Filipino desserts. The Halo-Halo was good, though not particularly special, but the Maja Blanca was a standoutโcreamy and perfectly sweetened.
