4/5 Jinno F. 2 years ago on Google
Went
there
just
this
June
to
try
it
out
since
we
had
a
few
business
to
attend
to
in
the
town
of
Ternate.
From
what
I
gathered,
this
is
a
recently
opened
restaurant,
the
ambiance
that
they
were
going
for
is
tropical
in
which
they
nailed
quite
nicely
given
the
location
and
the
decorations
of
the
place.
Right
at
the
entrance,
you
are
greeted
by
rows
upon
rows
of
plants
that
flanks
both
side
leading
to
the
air-conditioned
part
to
the
right
if
you
continue
ahead
there
is
an
alfresco
dining
which
can
be
converted
into
a
events
place.
When
we
ask
about
the
capacity
we
they
said
that
the
venue
could
accommodate
around
200
persons.
By
the
way,
the
plants
on
said
entrance
are
for
sale
and
you
could
buy
one
and
take
one
home
if
you
so
wished.
The
service
was
nice
and
the
servers
were
attentive
to
your
needs.
Staff
greets
you
when
upon
entering
the
restaurant
and
will
lead
you
to
your
seating.
Tables
were
mise-en-place
when
we
got
there.
As
for
the
food,
we
ordered
the
Beef
Caldereta.
They
have
a
selection
of
either
beef
or
pork
but
on
the
day
that
they
only
have
beef,
which
is
nice
because
that
was
coincidentally
what
I
was
going
to
order.
The
caldereta
was
nice,
and
by
nice
I
mean
that
the
meat
was
tender
and
not
rubbery.
There
is
a
fine
line
between
too
tender
meat
and
too
soft.
They
nailed
it
and
the
beef
was
right
at
the
middle.
As
with
the
sauce
and
vegetables,
the
sauce
was
not
overpowering
and
it
complements
well
with
the
beef.
The
vegetables
are
aldente
and
cooked
just
right.
The
sisig
was
a
novel
approach
rarely
seen
outside
of
Pampanga
-
Kapangpangan
region.
There
are
substancial
medium
chunks
of
fat
and
meat
of
equal
proportions.
One
serving
is
more
for
one
person
and
can
be
shared.
If
there
is
any
room
for
improvement
I
would
wish
to
see
a
more
"hot
plate"
coming
from
the
sisig.
Although
it
is
served
in
a
iron
hot
plate
a
little
bit
more
time
in
the
fire
would
do
wonders
to
bring
out
the
crispiness
of
the
already
flavour
packed
sisig.
Maillard
reaction
on
meat
does
indeed
do
wonders
to
it.
Chinese
fried
rice,
it
is
a
typical
fried
rice
done
right.
As
do
any
proper
fried
rice,
the
rice
itself
is
the
star
of
the
dish
and
the
other
ingredients
must
be
complementary
to
the
rice.
This
dish
balances
it
out
and
you
could
tell
that
they
use
good
long
grain
rice
for
it.
A
pleasant
light
dish.
Lastly,
the
dessert.
We
ordered
the
German
Chocolate
cake
(I
think
this
is
the
name
but
need
to
confirm
it
when
we
get
back)
This,
is
the
part
where
the
restaurant
most
stands
out
of.
The
food
is
good
by
all
accounts
but
the
chocolate
cake
was
a
tier
above.
I
believe
praline
was
the
filling
which
is
also
the
one
at
the
top.
The
cake
was
moist
and
the
chocolate
was
not
overpowering
nor
was
it
sickly
sweet.
This
was
definitely
a
must
try.
To
sum
it
all
up:
1.
It
is
a
good
place
to
eat
especially
if
you
are
passing
via
the
the
Ternate-Nasugbu
High-way
via
Kaybiang
Tunnel.
Also
worth
checking
out
if
you
are
going
to
the
echo-trail
around
Maragondon
as
both
towns
are
linked
and
close
to
each
other.
2.
Group
meals.
I
would
recommend
eating
in
groups
of
4
and
above
as
a
good
number
of
the
dishes
are
group
size.
We
limit
ourselves
with
single
serving
plates
since
we
were
just
2
when
we
tried
this
out.
3.
Ambiance.
The
tropical
vibe
is
evident
throughout
the
restaurant.
It
gives
off
a
cool
and
relaxing
vibe
which
is
not
out
of
place
given
the
location.
Although
June
being
an
in
between
Summer
and
Monsoon
season
there
are
noticeable
critters
up
and
about.
The
management
does
address
this
via
insect
mitigation.
