Pretty steep in prices for certain foods was looking for a quick bite in a Friday and the Filipino BBQ pork skewers usually do their justice well marinated street food style. Cheapest I've found at $2.25 then got this vegetables mostly green with shrimp in stew not so fond of that it was $8 for a small but otherwise inside is colorful and staff are easy going.
The Filipino chain has four locations: three distributed throughout Mississauga and one in Brampton, bordering Mississauga and Toronto Pearson.
Ever since my failed attempt at attempting their version of the crushed ice dessert at the smaller shop on Rathburn, it was only fitting to visit their Heartland location to verify their making 3rd place on the list. Pulling up just shortly after 1 PM on a quiet, but blindingly bright Sunday afternoon allowed me to grasp a better understanding of their popularity in the area.
Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than getting up too early on a Sunday morning to do breakfast with your extended family. We visited really early on the Family Day weekend (have I mentioned how early we visited?) and had a good time.
It was early enough that it was only my family at the restaurant but it filled up pretty quickly so if you have a big group you should call ahead.
For breakfast they do Tapsilog - which is a mash up word to mean Meat, Garlic Fried Rice and Egg.
My staple order for breakfast? Anything with Tocino - sweet filipino bacon. It's sweet and sticky and bacon-y - How could you go wrong? It's definitely my preferred breakfast meat. If bacon is not your morning choice they also have excellent fried fish, pork etc. Basically almost any meat you want!
And no one will laugh at you if you have spring rolls, lumpia, for breakfast (Deep Fried FTW!) But don't forget to leave room for dessert. They have lots of these!!
Overall we had a great time at Somethin Sweet 4 U! Can't wait to go back (mostly to have more desserts, ha!)
This is a small restaurant that serves Filipino dishes, cakes and desserts. My favourite food to eat here are Pork BBQ, Lumpiang Sariwa - wrapped mix vegetables in sweet and savoury peanut sauce with crushed peanuts and minced garlic, Kare-kare - ox tail, shanks and tripe in peanut butter sauce and Halo-Halo - mix of fruits, beans in crushed ice, evaporated milk topped with ice cream and custard. The fresh crepe-like wrap for the mix vegetables is homemade and so soft and delicious. They also serve all day breakfast and have party sizes of some dishes. The price is very reasonable. The staff are nice and friendly. For a taste of Filipino dishes at a good price this is the place to go.
Always love Somethin Sweet! I enjoy their filipino dishes but mostly go here for their desserts! From experience, their cakes are amazing! Always great to order for an event and they're really good w their timing to make sure it's ready!
Love their Philippine style congee and skewers. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. It has become one of my favorite place for lunch. Some days it does get busy, and they need more staff. Many times I had to wait a long time to pay, while my food gets cold. A dedicated cashier, would probably solve their problems.
Ordered a cake by phone. Website wasn't as useful, but the lady on the phone was very helpful in helping me place my order. Cake was right on time and pickup was easy. Thank you for the ube!
They have amazing food with good prices! The people here are very friendly which makes eating here even better. My favourite place to get Filipino food for sure!
Food's good and place is clean. Friendly staff. I just wish they had more dessert options.
