  I had never tried Filipino before and after discovering this place on Yelp with so many wonderful reviews I was very excited to try it. Tucked away in a warehouse district in Perrine area, this restaurant is located in the back of Asian market that I also recommend to fellow Asians. I came with two friends and since the menu items were so affordable we decided to order a host of things to share. We noticed during our short wait for our large order that everyone coming in was ordering food to go and knew the woman managing the store on a first name basis! Such a pleasure to see so many friendly regulars which completely makes sense because this family run business is ran by the nicest people!We ordered off their normal menu which we were told they’ve slowed down on their cooking a little bit during the week since they’ve been doing this for 20 long years, the owners recommending we visit during the weekend for their cafeteria styled buffet of Filipino Classics.We ordered the:- Pancit Palabok $6: vermicelli rice noodles with shrimp sauce, diced pork, chicharron, boiled eggs, fried garlic and scallions- Sizzling Sigsig $12: minced pork belly, red onion, calamansi, and bird peppers- Dinguan $6: pork shoulder with banana peppers stewed in vinegar and pork blood- Lumpia Shanghai $6: beef and vegetables fried egg rollsMy favorite has to be the sizzling sigsig which was just insanely good and my go to recommendation though everything tasted unique and flavorful. The portions were amazing and we still had leftovers among three very hungry people. Can’t wait to try their weekend options and recommend to those willing to try a new cuisine, you won’t be disappointed!IG: KFitzEats
