I had asked a friend of mine who married a Filipino & lived in the Philippines for a stint what he thought of the menu, here is his response:
[Start]
In my experience, a typical filipino family meal would start with soup, include something grilled, a vegetable dish of some sort (which almost always has meat "for flavor"), perhaps some noodles, and always white rice.
Looking at the menu, I'm partial to the following:
Sisig - basically chopped pork face and ears.
Lechon Kawali - deep fried pork belly
Give me these 2 dishes and a few Red Horse beers, and I'm all set
I like both beefsteak tagalog and kalderetang - we eat them often at home - probably suitable for folks who don't want to venture too far from the familiar
Kare Kare - filipino oxtail curry with peanut sauce and fermented shrimp paste. This can be really good but I've also had it where it was pretty nasty - way too fatty and overpowering shrimp paste.
Binagoongang Baboy - their picture looks different than how I've had it. I've had crispy binagoongang which is fried pork pieces cooked in the bagoong topped with diced mango and tomatoes.
Crispy pata - this is just like bavarian schweinehaxe. A crowd pleaser but I'm personally partial to the german style.
Dinuguan - I'm not much of a blood eater, but I had this homemade cooked over an open fire and it was out of this world. My wife has never let me order it out but she's used to this being made right after slaughtering a pig for lechon, so her expectations are pretty much not going to get met in a restaurant setting.
Adobong pusit - squid adobo - I really like this over a bit of white rice
Grilled stuffed squid - this is a common dish and one that's hard to mess up
Sinigang - I like it with shrimp (suck the heads). If done right, it should be bright, fresh tasting and bracingly sour.
As you can see on the menu, filipino vegetable dishes are rarely vegetarian. I love laing but I'd ask if they use fresh taro leaves. I suspect some places use dried taro leaves and its just not the same as fresh. I also like the dish with squash, green beans and coconut milk - a nice light vegetable dish
Their chef specialties appear to be from Ilo Ilo, a regional cuisine that I'm not familiar with.
Hopefully that's a good start and I wish you all a great meal.
Take care,
[End]
I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.
