ELIAS by Chef Florabel Co-Yatco

What to eat? Where to eat? It's so hard to please your parents... Nothing expensive, not too exotic, not the usual, no more long walks please? Ha! Thank God for Filipino food, thank God for reknowned chefs like Florabel Co-Yatco changing the landscape of local cuisine into a not so ordinary fare. We, a Filipino-Chinese family, found ourselves in a turn of the century local restaurant, and was amused to see fellow chinky-eyed locals coming in to enjoy dishes that we seldom see on the family dinner table. We shared a PLATTER OF GRILLED SEAFOOD and MEAT and everyone had a fair share. The BINAGOONGAN RICE is a good combination of flavors that complements the grilled entrees. You might want to add more rice though, we're just cutting back on starch due to high sugar levels in the family. And did I mention that they serve really good CORNICKS for appetizers?! We asked for more and mixed it to the rice - Crunchy! We had room for desserts, haha, I miss all the go...
