Point Pay Eat. Go on the weekend and go early when everything is nice and fresh. The style of serving here is called Turo-Turo (point-point). You point to the dish you like, it gets spooned onto your plate, you pay, you eat. Nothing fancy here. Preparing Filipino food takes a long time with all the slicing, many ingredients and messy frying. So, let Josephine and her cooks do it for you instead.
My favourites are the chicken bbq (always sells out early), lumpia shanghai (fried rolls), lechon paksiw (pork braised in vinegar, garlic and ginger) and the kare-kare (peanut stew). It is hard to come here if you are on a diet. If you are not sure what a dish is, the ladies will patiently explain.
There is a combo available for $8.95 which includes rice, 2 selected items and fish based soup. For an extra dollar you can get a lumpia or an empanada (fried turnover with meat and veggies).
Top off with turon (deep fried plantain banana with brown sugar in a spring roll wrapper) or the halo-halo (shaved ice with evaporated milk and boiled sweets). They even serve Mighty Leaf tea!
Clean surroundings. Plenty of tables.
You can buy frozen lumpia also to take home.
They only take cash and bank card (with transaction fee).
