18. October 2009: Filipinian Restaurant

The Filipinian Restaurant (unfortunately, I didn’t write down the real name of the place, so I can just describe it by the food they offered) is located close to the central station of Rome (called Termini) and is easily reachable within a footwalk of five minutes.

The place is nice and you feel welcome right away as the waitresses are immediately welcoming you warmly. Within a few seconds you receive your menu card (unfortunately, it seems, they don’t have enough for ten people). It takes quite some time until you’re actually asked what you want to have.

To choose from the menu isn’t that easy if you’ve never had anything Filipinian before and we were lucky to have two people with Filipinian roots in our group which recommended us what to eat and they’re choices were definitely good.

It takes quite long until you actually have the food on your table but once it arrives, you know why you’ve been waiting as it is very delicious in the first place. On the other hand, they could definitely improve a bit in arranging the food on the plate. Although it is really tasty it doesn’t look too appealing in the first place as it seems they just smashed it on the plates. Still, it’s really good!

I can give a special recommendation for the flan: But don’t eat more than one big flan (max.) as you otherwise have sugar rush which makes you giggle all afternoon long.

The Filipinian Restaurant is good place to go and is very cheap for the service you get delivered. It’s just recommendable not to be too hungry as otherwise the comparabily long waiting time will make you go crazy.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org. Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
