Its me again LondonHM

In Kusinang Munti you'll find Philippine, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Halal food here, either as a main meal, or you have the option of making use of their all-you-can-eat buffet

[LondonHM]

Keep the recommendations coming Eyes!!
I am completely sold on "all-you-can-eat." So much for the new year diet

[Emmeline]

Hi there LondonHM and Emmeline! There's a couple of restaurants in Hammersmith, London called Port of Manila and Ihaw Ihaw, I preferred the first one myself

Thank you! Will give it a try one of these days! I cook filipino food at home every now and then, but hard to cook for one person. I also found an Asian grocery store in Chinatown that sells mama sita mix lol. Yes i cheat when I cook filipino dishes.

[LondonHM]

Wonderful. You are more than welcome to cook for me as my Filipino cooking skills are awful

[Emmeline]

Here is a list of filipino resturants, there seems to be a few in London and two in Earls Court.

[Terpe]

Yes, I tried one.
The sauce I had was quite nice, but naturally there was no real meat. Just seemed a bit chewy.
Didn't actually feel any need to have another.

[grahamw48]

Vische, when you come here you must try some of our 'Tripe' (boiled cow's stomach lining).

[LondonHM]

I have had chicken feet - sceptical about the heads
I do like a bit of Balut. I still remember the first time I tried it. Manila 2009 - street vendor standing by the river near Ocean Park. Great times!

[Terpe]

hehehe i have tried, that my father lets me eat all sorts of exotic foods without telling me what it is hahahaha

[LondonHM]

Eyes O'D,

I went to this restaurant with friends. Food was good..but the staff were not so friendly. Perhaps it was just a one off.

Any more recommendations anyone? I have told you how bad my cooking is these days!
