I loved the shiny silverware and the plates and after we ordered and they get us some peanuts, banana chips, kropek. Which are so delicous and also when we got our food, the grilled chicken and Caldereta are good. Grilled Chicken is so good and also the Caldereta is little bit spicy and I ordered Leche Flan and Halo Halo and it is creamy sweet. I recommended going here. REALLY.
