With its lightly sweet dressing, the Paco Salad is indeed refreshing and great for a starter. It also comes with a sardine which you may mix with the salad, or eat on a stand-alone basis
The Sinugno has a very creamy gata sauce that wraps itself with the meat producing this milky-tasty goodness to the fresh tilapia.
The Bulalo may be very simple yet captures the traditional heartwarming goodness. It's generous as well with the meat, so it will not fail!
The Sisig here in Kamayan sa Palaisdaan is meaty (i.e. less of the fat content) and yet very tasty. Despite the meatiness, this is still sinfully good!
