Are you in the area of Makati along Jupiter St or along Teachers Village Q.C.? I would suggest you get to try PINO Resto Bar. It’s not your any typical restaurant that I encountered and oh the foods they serve here totally rock my palate.
Chef Edward Bugia the one had made a playful, creative comfort Filipino food you can’t find in any restaurant.
With a special function room for meetings and intimate lunch, merienda and dinners.
Starters
Mini Tacos filled with pork sisig, lettuce, tomato, salsa and cheese.
With this one I can eat it the whole day love the combination of pork sisig and salsa and cheese.
Spring rolls with stuffed bagnet, salted eggs, vermicelli noodles, chinese chorizo, fried and served with calamansi vinaigrette.
Crispy fried chicken and tossed in soy miso inaasal glaze
Main Course
Mussels made spicy and cooked in beer and lime soda.
This one got my top vote in my list of fav dishes. I love Kare-kare in any form and ways it’s cooked. They used authentic Ilokano crispy pork belly served with annatto-peanut sauce and baggong rice.
Slow roasted beef belly with coffee spice rub served with marble, bistek gravy and red wine onion marmalade.
Grouper fish steamed in lemongrass and leeks. Topped with salted eggs, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, pineapple aloli, pickle relish, scallions and garlic chips.
Winged beans cooked with spicy coconut milk and alamang and topped with crispy bagnet.
Pork stew and tender beef with crushed tomatoes, kamote, pechay, saba, and chinese chorizo.
Fried pork ribs stewed in vinegared liver sauce and chicken liver.
