  Had the Kamayan experience today at Kulinarya. I have been wanting to try this place for quite a while but haven’t had the time. Today was the day and it was a feast! In case people don’t know what Kamayan means kamay = hands, which means eat with your hands no utensils! The food was excellent our choices were lechon kawali, pusit (squid), chicken adobo, ginataang kalabasa (curry squash), there were lots of extras that come with the big pile, fried sweet potato, plantain, lumpia, sweet sausage! Onto the food review. Everything was excellent especially the flavours but…there’s a but…kalderetta beef could have been softer, the squid I think was under seasoned and overcooked – too chewy for me. Overall great would do it again and try the other dish options. The food was fresh and was getting prepared while we arrived and waited only for a few minutes. So it’s worth it! Winner for the table was the Lechon Kawali! I highly recommend trying go with adventurous friends.

  We had been wanting to try some of the local Filipino food for a good while. After receiving several encouragements about Kulinarya, it was picked as the venue for lunch recently. We arrived almost in sync with their weekday opening time of 10 am, so I guess our meal could be called a late-breakfast, or early-brunch. Kulinarya is a very small, and rather cool & cute-looking restaurant. Table seating is limited to a few small, two-chair tables along a side wall, with the other, and larger tables, occupying the rest of the interior space – these tables can be moved about, and arranged to fit four diners, to much larger-sized groups. For us, the wall colours, decorations, and such, provided a lot of visual fun. Service was warm, friendly, and cordial throughout our stay – with help when ordering, and nice-attention during our meal. What was ordered and shared: Note – I have used the names & descrtogether iptions as listed in menu.- Pampagana (Appetizer): Lumpiang Shanghi – pork and vegetable spring rolls.- Baka (Beef): Kare-Kare – beef and vegetables, in peanut sauce.- Manok (Chicken): Adobo – chicken braised in vinegar, soy sauce & garlic.- Kanin (Rice): Steamed Rice – small bowl, provided by host.The dishes arrived from kitchen to table piping hot, together, and looking good. All preparations were deliciously rich tasting. The ingredients very nicely, and distinctly seasoned, and flavoured, though quite mildly, and not overdone with meats and chicken tender and juicy, spring roll coverings thin and crispy, vegetables tender, without being overcooked, and the sauces providing major taste treats. For us, this first dining experience of Filipino food was a winner. We sure liked the place (small, and rather cool ambiance), appreciated the warm and friendly reception and service provided, and the food ordered (thanks for the suggestions Veronica!!), offered some wonderful first-time experience taste treats.
