Highly recommended resto, but where art thou? For the condemnation…don’t care if you cease ops.

Recommendation & Condemnation:
(RECOMMENDATION)For “Pinoys” out there in the Metro: give “PONCIANA’s” a try. A Filipino line up where they serve good tasting-just like “luto ni lola” array of recipes. In fact this is the ONLY resto I feel satisfied with after every visit. Me and wifey always order the” inihaw na tiyan ng bangus” plus a plate of veggie concoction. End it up with “guinatan”. Oh my, gratifyingly “bundat na naman ako”.
They used to have a branch at Timog, QC but now it’s a bank. Tried the one at the fastfood area back of Greenhills theater but also gone. Where art thou? I go more for your kind of recipes than those proliferating BLAND, ALL EXPERIMENT HIGH SOUNDING EK-EK.(CONDEMNATION)For PWEH resto: Don’t ever go a site down at Rockwell where they serve Filipino lines as well. This used to be a well known by-word habitue of food lovers circa 70′s-90′s. But now, HOLY SMOKES!!! the vaunted tapa was cooked in rancid oil, tough and no taste at all but that of rancidity; the “chicken inasal” (yata as they call it) was skewered-boiled meat of chix, gas flame heated and basted with…with…OH LUPIT NG TIPAKLONG…I dont know what was that. All types of food my whole family ordered that day WERE ALL LOSERS!

To be fair to them, it could had been such only for that day and better through all other days. OR, they could ask, who are you to judge my food? Are you a cook? A chef? My immediate response to this is: I am a food critic & an ingredients man.

Clue: HAY NAKU…”Ang kumare kong si Biya”.

…another high sounding prep. But then it’s so simple.

“Sugar showered deep fried SaSa”
…which is just, plainly, TURON. (SaSa means Saging na Saba)
For variation, instead of just SaSa & langka strips, I added mashed sweet potato (Kamote). Check this section for its recipe.
Try it.

U$D4.00 badly spent

Picture

Seems I finished it. NOPE.
“YUK Longaniza” originally were 3 pieces, “Daeng na Sapsap” 2 pieces,  a teaspoon consumed of this onion & tomatoes stuffed “karambola egg” and rice was about 3 tablespoons.
I consumed the rice which I doused abundantly with spiced vinegar. Just pinched a bit the “Sapsap” but that’s all-nothing more. With eyes closed and nose fully covered, ate the remaining 1/2 of the longaniza that I cut into 2 “para hindi naman halata masyado na NADISMAYA ako sa food nila”.
Scrambled egg had no salt. Bland. “Daeng na Sapsap was too salty as if 2 tons of sea salt was used to age the fish. Longaniza was full of starch and flour. The ONLY taste present was that of Anisado Wine.
For curiosity and analyses, I tasted the following a bit:
1. Chicken – don’t know what recipe was that. Like it was fried then poured with a lot of “lumpia sauce” WOW! What a concoction.
2. Sauted corned beef. This is really disaster. No beef taste at all. Full of TVP. The few beef strands were swimming in sauce.
3. Pork tocino. HELL!!! Not cured. Just boiled with color & sugar. Just like eating “MINATAMIS NA BABOY”.
4. Lumpia Shanghai. 98% fried lumpia wrapper.
5. Pancit na I don’t know what kind. Nobody among the total patrons occupying 3 tables got or even tried…same with “sopas” where few shell-type ronis were swimming in a pool.
At least the water is served cold and with few cubes. Haaayyyyy buhay.
Don’t waste your money in this damned shit.
Really surprised on what happened. They have good patronage lunchtime & dinner + “lasingan hours”.
CLUE?
What do you call the red “base” sauce of Italian pasta and TSAPAGETTI?
