| Balut - Fertilized Duck Egg I am a super adventurous eater but this was one thing that I thought I would never try. Balut is a Southeast Asian delicacy and is a half developed bird/egg. I was definitely a little grossed out but was also very curious. J said that he's had it multiple times and enjoyed it. You crack open the shell and see random blobs of stuff and little feathers.... definitely not for the faint of heart. I had the parts that were more egg-like and must admit I quite enjoyed it. It had a incredibly rich eggy flavor. I did not eat the half developed feathery/meat bits as much and was ready to move onto the next dish. |

| Lumpia - Spring Rolls These were fried nicely and flavorful, but nothing special. |
 |
| Arroz Caldo - Filipino Style Congee I really enjoyed this congee. It was smooth and the chili/garlic oil on top was very nice. |
 |
| Braised Eggplant This was tasty but much too oily. |
 |
| Sprite Marinaded Pork with Garlic Fried Rice Ugh the pork was like sandpaper! It was so dry and overcooked. The only thing that was nice was the garlic rice. |
Overall I thought the food was sub-par. I have seen many posts regarding their dinner and brunch that looks much better but I do not think I would recommend this place.
