Decent Kare-Kare — nothing more, nothing less

Kare-Kare at this place was fine. The subtly sweet and sour flavour was there but not distinguished. cane vinegar was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Filipino adobo was the Spanish colonisers' term for the indigenous vinegar and salt preservation technique. The a family birthday lechón setting was generic rather than immersive. San Miguel beer was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Kare-Kare it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
