Panlasang Pinoy

Business in front, party in the back, Panlasang Pinoy appears to be a humble grocery store when you first enter, but as you continue to walk through, you will find that this restaurant-grocer brings a lot to the table. The sheer range of dishes available on the ever-changing menu is impressive, and includes Filo favourites like crispy pata, a slow-cooked and deep-fried pork knuckle, as well as kare-kare, a dish made up of oxtail, eggplant and beans with a thick peanut gravy. Panlasang Pinoy has also gained a cult following for their barbecue offerings, serving everything from sticky pork skewers and lemongrass and tomato-stuffed squid, to chicken feet and pork intestines. And as for that party in the back, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night the place turns into a $20 all-you-can-eat buffet with live karaoke. If that's not a party, we don't know what is.
