Ongpin Restaurant

When I want Filipino food and can't get it from my parents I usually get it at Ongpin. It is as close as I can get to non-fast food type. Growing up on this stuff, I expect it to be a certain level of yumminess. Now, Ong Pin is pretty good, but their customer service is utter-utter-utter crap.

There have been many times I've been treated like I wasn't one of their people. It isn't my fault I don't eat fish or coconut. I'm allergic. And if I ask if it was possible to have it without coconut, don't look at me like I'm crazy. There have been other times where we were seated and waited almost a half an hour just for someone to give us menus.

It is sad, but true that this place is where I like to get my food, but at times I hate the fact that they are not up to par on many things.


Crispy Pata (crispy deep-fried leg of pork)
How can something fried be wrong?


Chicken Adobo (chicken chunks braised in a flavorful garlic-vinegar mixture)
Very yummy. Though from what I hear it is just average. You have to also remember every Filipino has their own recipe for Adobo in general. So everything is made to taste.

My note is to go and get things to-go or catering.
P.S. Lechon = <3
