The inside of the restaurant itself is tiny and you’re definitely seated at an intimate distance from other diners but there is a decent sized outdoor/garden area in the back.My gf and I ordered the crispy red curry rice salad, sizzling sigsig, mussels and a bowl of coconut rice. It was definitely enough to fill and satisfy both of us. Although the portion sizes were not the norm of regular American establishments, let’s be honest, that’s why we’re all fat so maybe it’s a good thing the portion sizes were “smaller” or normal outside of the US haha.Crispy Red Curry Rice Salad – I loved the flavors of the dish. The saltiness and spiciness of the red curry brittle/pieces combined with the sour/tart of the lime tied together with the taste of the coriander. It was definitely an unexpected first bite and I loved how the flavors developed and complimented each other. My only complaint about this dish would be that there was a bit too much of the red curry bits which at certain times overwhelmed and detracted from the other flavors of the dish.Mussels – I’m indifferent when it comes to seafood so my opinion might be biased. I thought it was a decent dish but nothing out of the ordinary that you can’t find at any other restaurant that serves mussels cooked in a broth. The fried mantao was a nice touch.Sizzling Sigsig – This dish was my favorite. It tasted so good and wasn’t as spicy as I thought it’d be. I was expecting to see some pig head on a platter that we pick off of but it was already “deboned” for us so all the hard work was done. Added some lime to it and it was good to go. It was seasoned well and the lime added a nice touch to it. I do recommend pairing it with a bowl of the coconut rice as the sweetness of the coconut complimented well with the saltiness of the sigsig.
