Skin crunches loudly in my mouth. Fat rendered into liquid form gushes over skin as I bite down. Tender fried pork bursting flavor throughout my mouth. Flavors and the various textures delight my senses. I grew up with Chinese style roasted pork but lechon kawali is an amazing example of how frying makes things taste better.
Pancit had a smooth, slick texture and a delicious mix of flavors from the chicken, cabbage, and seasonings.
Bbq pork was tender and had a sweet lightly char’d flavor.
Pork belly had a sour flavor. I was hoping for a savory bacon flavor. I wouldn’t get this again.
This is one of my fav places to get food like they have in Manilla. It’s not fancy here but I’ve found the food to be fresh + full of delicious flavor. Staff have been nice and provide speedy service. Back in high school I use to bike by this little mall alot as a friend lived on this block. Wish this place was here back then. Wouldn’t have had to eat at Jack In the Box or McDonald’s.
Kirk of mmm-yoso has visited too. As has Faye of Faye’s Fork.

Hey Soo – I was just over at Manila Fast Food yesterday. They’ve got a nice spacing system in place.
Kirk that’s great you visited too. They are doing a good job of keeping us safe and well fed.
