bistro filipino

Chef Laudico Bistro Filipino, Taguig, birthday dinner 2008.

On my birthday, we decided to have dinner at Chef Laudico Bistro Filipino. I had read quite a bit about this chef, so I figured it would be good. The restaurant is in the recently-developed Taguig area, but far from the Market! Market area.

The restaurant is quite nice. The architecture is great with lots of native elements. We were seated in the center area which was closed off by native blinds.

We tried an assortment of food, but I'd have to say this restaurant is a bit overrated. Some of the food was good (e.g., lamb), but a lot left a lot to be desired.

appetizers: sisig?, ubod spring roll?


meat entrees: lamb shank kaldereta, lechon kawali


seafood entrees: paella-stuffed squid, prawns laing




desserts: ?, maja blanca cheesecake (bday cake), banana-cue & langka





We still enjoyed the dinner though. The chef personally delivered my birthday maja blanca cheesecake and sang with the waiters. My aunt and cousins thought he was cute.
