good Filipino food?

[GL86]

Dinuguan?! UUUGH! Gross mang.

No one mentioned halo halo? I know its dessert but still delicious. Not gonna lie the bay area (where all the hot flip chicks are at) has the best halo halo evar.

No offence but is there such thing as good filipino food? I've been dating a filipino girl for 6 years now and every time we eat at her house the food isn't that great.

I am part flip myself and I can tell you I'd rather eat instant noodles.

apparently 7 Seas Seafood and Grill on MacLeod just north of heritage has pretty dope Filipino food. it's like a 2 minutes drive from my condo, but still haven't made it there yet ahha.

+1, most of the dishes seem like a not as good variant of some other asian dish. I don't mind them, but never crave them.

It really depends if the family has a good cooking tradition. There are different variants and ways in cooking a filipino dish and its dependent where the family was located in the Philippines or if they are really good cooks.

Does anyone know what this place is called and if it's good?

My wife is the pickiest filipino I know and she likes the food there.

Aww man, I love Jollibee! When YYC gets a direct flight to Manila, we'll see an influx of Filipino franchises appearing.

If you guys plan on going to Winnipeg, my parents run a Filipino Restaurant and I can let you guys eat there for free. My dad makes killer Sisig, Dinuguan, and Boupis and he is known in the city for that.

How is Lola's trying it tonite for 4 people any recommendations besides spaghetti.

[flipstah]

Safe dishes for beef are:

- Bistek (fried beef with soy sauce marinade)
- Mechado/Menudo (beef stew with a tomato base with veggies; menudo is the pork equivalent)
- Nilaga (Beef stew with a clear beef broth base and veggies)
- Kare Kare (oxtail with a peanut butter stew base)

Chicken dish is chicken pork adobo (stew with soy sauce/vinegar base)

Pork dish is lechon (roast pig)

Garlic rice is bomb

Thanks..

[taemo]

if you are going for filipino style spaghetti, might as well go to Jollibee

never been to Lola's, curious to try it now.
my recommendation would be to try sisig, bicol express and pork adobo.
kare-kare or caldareta for beef.
pinakbet, chopsuey or laing if you want a traditional filipino vegetable dish

side note but our favorite filipino restaurant is Paolo's.
their chopsuey has crispy pork and their kare-kare with crispy pata is awesome and can feed 6-8 people easily.
they can also make dinuguan with crispy pork.
