This was our first time to try this place/cuisine. Attractive interiors, with Asian artifacts displayed all around. The manager was very friendly, in fact he came to chat with us 3x. Our waitress was very nice too. This is what we had:Ayam Rendang(chicken cooked in coconut curry gravy) which was very good and flavorful, yummy eaten with rice. Mango Shrimp(shrimp pieces with mango strips in sweet chili sauce on mango shells), my husband liked it but was nothing spectacular for me. Pandan Chicken(deep fried chicken wings, tied up with pandan leaves), typical fried chicken, it lacked pandan flavor to me. Maybe because pandan is not readily available here, and they come frozen, hence lose their flavor. Coconut fried rice(typical fried rice, lacks coconut flavor) and Fried Ice cream for dessert. Will come back to try the other dishes, their food appeals to the Filipino palate, I would say. Will order the Ayam again. Also the viands come with choices of flavored rice(coco, chicken)or plain brown/white rice.
