Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A high-energy, candlelit Filipino bistro where the flavours are as loud as the acoustics and fish sauce caramel is the star.

Ordering Strategy

Go for the seafood small plates over the red meats; definitely save room for the profiterole dessert.

What to order

Safe first

Tempura Cod Pandesal

Described as an elevated 'Filet-O-Fish' that won the lottery, this 'sensational' dish offers a 'goody bag of textures' with a sweet bun, crispy cod, and popping salmon roe.

Hungry

Seafood Caldereta

A 'soothing' and 'hearty medley' of squid, clams, mussels, and cod in a paprika-spiked sauce. Critics recommend dipping chips into the remaining stock to finish it off.

Wildcard

Frozen Custard Profiterole

This 'bonkers-brilliant' viral dessert features a fish sauce caramel that provides a 'salty-sweet glory' critics say shouldn't work but definitely does.

Wildcard

Cured Scallops ‘Bicol Express’

A 'taste trendsetter' that reimagines a classic pork stew as a seafood starter, with fat scallops bathed in creamy coconut milk and annatto oil.

What to skip

Skip
Wagyu SteakCritics found the execution lacking, with one reviewer noting the meat was so tough it 'could have resoled my Weejuns.'

It gets very loud inside; walk-ins can sit at the counter stools.
