"An excellent place to sample Filipino cooking, with food from Pampanga province a speciality here. There's an extensive vegetarian menu and a few challenges for adventurous eaters, such as dinuguan (meat stewed in pig blood)."

"Knockout Knuckle – aka Crispy Pata Bawang, a whole leg of pork is deep fried and then sprinkles with garlic and chillies. Its meat is tender and together with its crunchy skin, this is sinful and yet simply delicious."
