This
is
my
1st
time
visiting
Parilya
at
Il
Corso...
Of
course
my
1st
time
as
well
to
visit
the
Il
Corso
area.
My
wife
and
I
were
looking
for
just
affordable
eats
in
the
vicinity
but
my
wife
wanted
to
see
the
whole
area
first
before
we
dig
into
foods.
As
we
get
excited
with
"The
Stellar"
which
is
the
dancing
fountain
of
Il
Corso
mall,
we
noticed
that
quite
some
people
had
flocked
into
this
certain
restaurant
near
the
dancing
fountain
and
that's
where
we
see
Parilya.
We
took
the
table
outside
the
restaurant
cause
we
want
to
have
a
breath
of
the
sea
breeze
and
we're
pretty
much
fed
up
with
air
conditioned
spaces
in
city
restaurants
and
even
at
home
so
so
we
settled
in
and
and
thought
of
getting
the
menu
so
we
can
start
ordering.
Food
rates
are
quite
enough
to
compensate
for
our
overall
experience
with
the
place.
Their
menu
would
range
from
a
la
carte
serving,
combo
meals,
and
even
group
meals.
We
ordered
adobong
nokos
(squid),
sinigang
shrimp
and
baked
scallops
for
our
mains.
We
also
have
their
fruit
bowl
(slices
of
watermelon,
pineapple,
mango)
and
mango
otap
for
dessert.
At
first
I
thought
the
taste
of
the
dishes
were
bland
but
I
was
convinced
when
my
wife
told
me
that
the
dishes
showcase
the
natural
taste
of
the
food
enhanced
with
natural
flavors
and
not
with
artificial
seasonings
such
as
MSGs
and
the
like.
Butter
has
elevated
the
taste
of
the
scallops
with
a
little
bit
agar-agar
(gusô)
and
spices
on
the
side.
The
squid's
flavor
is
dominant,
so
as
the
shimp's.
On
the
flip
side,
my
wife's
sinigang
is
tastier.
I
wish
their
sinigang
was
a
little
bit
tangy
with
either
ibâ
or
sampaloc
elevating
that
flavor.
What's
also
glaring
was
how
the
squid
was
done...
I
would
think
its
"rubber-ish".
The
fruit
bowl
is
just
adequate:
watermelon
and
pineapple
are
sweet.
But
the
mangoes
both
in
the
fruit
bowl
and
mango
otap
were
sour.
I
wish
they
could've
tasted
their
mangoes
before
putting
it
in.
The
mango
otap
at
120p
with
only
the
condensed
milk
giving
sweetness
is
a
flop.
It
could've
been
better
it
was
cream
or
just
lactose-free
milk.
Nevertheless,
I
like
that
their
service
water
is
not
a
tap
water
(because
it
doesn't
suggest
any
chlorine-like
taste
conpared
to
other
restaurants'
service
water).
Lastly,
coffee
americano
and
the
kapeccino
are
something
that
I
can
recommend...good
taste
even
without
cream
or
sugar.
The
staff
were
fine,
but
not
proactive
at
all.
We
have
to
ask
one
of
them
to
wipe
the
table
we're
at
because
it
was
wet
from
the
recent
rain.
The
ambiance
of
the
place
is
a
plus
for
me.
It
is
well-lit
and
spacious
with
long
tables
fit
for
groups
and
large
families.
The
menu
were
available
at
the
main
entrace
but
no
staff
was
there
at
all
to
hand
these
items
or
perhaps
welcome
the
guests.
Leaving
the
place
with
almost
PHP
2k
on
our
bill
is
just
fine
but
not
really
remarkable.
I
may
come
back
to
this
place
to
taste
other
food
items
on
the
menu
but
I
may
not
really
crave
to
be
back
soonest.
