"Tucked in the lower level of a pre-war building in Mt. Pleasant, this Filipino restaurant has the homey feel of a familiar mom-and-pop shop and plenty of inspired brunch dishes on the menu. You’ll find a harmonious balance of sweet and savory by ordering the ube pancakes, served with macapuno syrup and lechon kawali. Our other essential brunch choices include the eggplant adobo bowl, pork belly breakfast sandwich, and tofu hash. If the weather’s nice, take it all outdoors—the large shaded streetery in front is great for prime people watching and a leisurely brunch." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
