Whether it’s perfectly grilled meats, fresh seafood, or familiar Filipino favourites, every dish is prepared with the hope that guests leave not only satisfied, but with memories of time well spent around the table.”<\/p>\n

Guests can mix and match from a selection of grilled skewers, premium sausages, seafood, bourbon ribs, and Filipino classics including pork barbecue, chicken inasal, pork belly, and stuffed squid. Each order includes a choice of side dishes, allowing diners to create a meal that suits their taste.<\/p>\n
