I had a great time, walked in as a newbie to Filipino cuisine and walked out a little more knowledgeable and with a very satisfied stomach. Ashley was very helpful with informing me of the taste profiles of the various dishes and I even had a quick chat with the head chef! Overall, would recommend and keen to explore more.

Food were amazing! We went for brunch and walked out content, full and happy. Very rare to find Filipino food in Melbourne and coming from same region (Borneo), it brought back all the childhood memories, especially the garlic fried rice - the staple breakfast meal when I was little kid! Definitely recommend, and hoping they open up Karaoke night one day!!
