    Palabok fiesta and Pearl Cooler (lunch deal : $28)
     
    The palabok sauce was slightly too thick, and had only a weak flavour, but the lemon juice helped. It could also improve with more peanuts (and of course more shrimps / egg would be nice)! Perhaps it was because it was left in a takeaway box for too long, the noodles became really soft, and together with the thick sauce, it all became quite mushy.. Nevertheless, it was an interesting try.
     
    The pearl cooler was ube flavour, and did taste like it, but was slightly too sweet for me. I still liked it though, and the pearls inside were quite chewy too.

    It was surprising how the lady taking my order at the counter did not appear comfortable with speaking English… and seemed to have no idea that a lunch deal existed, even though there were promotion leaflets flying all over the shop.

    A really good place for Philippino food, I was surprised, there were not many reviews during that burger madness period.

    During this visit, I tried the Palabok, Savory Beef rice, Wonton noodles and the Pearl coolers.

    Palabok:
    My favourite, glass noodles with thick shrimp sauce.
    Although the flavour was not strong or salty enough, it was good with lemon juice.
    The sauce was a bit thick.

    Wonton:
    A bit bizzarre seeing wonton noodles in a Philipino hamburger shop, so ordered it,
    very strong taste in garlic, with glass noodles.
    Also the wontons were wrapped different to the chinese one, u can see the prawn.
    The portion was very small.

    Savory beef rice:
    Yummy minced beef in tomato sauce and rice. (forgot to take pic)

    Pearl Coolers:
    Very strong in coconut taste, and very sweet!
