Bump...

Read your review, but I had a different experience.

Okay, generally I stay away from adobo because my wife cooks the best. I mean it, her cooking runs circles around a lot of these places. I was upset about not having a chance to try several items on the menu because they were out? Leuchon Kawali was something I wanted to try on the appetizer menu.

Highlights

Lumpia - Good/ A safe play

Sisig - is the best I've ever tasted! Flavor just poping out the grounded chicken liver and pork face. The sisig is the most authentic dish, incredible!!!

Pinabet - the dish is a bit on the salty side with too much gravy. The ribs were okay but I found the dish lacking consistency. Overkill on the tomato sauce. I am going against the grain on 95% of the reviews on this one.

Desserts

Turon - Good/ Safe play most places

Cassava Cake - Unbelievable! Must order*** Best Dessert

Halo-Halo - Everyone raves about this on the reviews but my wife and I weren't feeling the love. Again we are going against the public on this one.

Overall Very Solid! Great introduction to Filipino food for New Orleans.

All staples in Filipino cooking

A few dishes were missing when I asked on Saturday. Christina has already turned this popup into a well respected resturant. The atmosphere is 7-8 tables with cool art and a bar. Mimosa was delicious! I would encourage everyone to at least try this resturant if your searching for new foods. Koodos to Melt Fish!

Glad you enjoyed Milkfish, I'm a fan too.

I've only been to the stand alone restaurant once, but I hit the pop-up on several occassions. The lumpia and sisig were my favorites, but not sure I've ever tried any of their desserts. I need to get back over there to try a few more dishes.
