Kabayan Filipino @ Lucky Plaza

I’m into minority cuisine of late – perhaps a trail soon! My previous Filipino maids hardly introduced their cuisine to me apart from Leche Flan but I was piqued enough to want to try Kabayan at Lucky Plaza after Straits Time’s featured their dessert years back. The place works like an eatery and is entirely self service – Filipino tze char I’d call this.
brinjal omelette

Omelette with brinjal

Huge portion of omelette and what tasted like brinjal but a humongous brinjal. Raw and undercooked at some parts though.
barbequed pork

Inihaw na Liempo

Grilled pork belly that really tasted like charsiew! Loved it!

roast pork

Lechon

Cnngo claims that “The lechon is the most invited party guest in the Philippines. The entire pig is spit-roasted over coals, with the crisp, golden-brown skin served with liver sauce, the most coveted part.” Sounds like babi guiling in bali, nonetheless, the roast pork was decent though not piping hot. Would definitely give siew yoke a run for its money!
curry

Kare-kare

Oxtail stew served with bagoong (shrimp paste) that was pretty tasty. Their shrimp paste is a more savoury version of chinchalok that is hugely acquired for me.
beef curry

Mixed vegetables

I reckon mixed vegetables taste the same everywhere.


sauces 

One of the numerous dips they have.

They do have dishes cooked on the spot as well. Hugely supported by the Filipino community and I guess this is as authentic as it gets? Food is reasonably priced too!
