TGIF!! Are you happy it’s Friday? I sure am! 😀
Most people get so happy about Fridays that they go out for special lunches on these days. This is the trend in our office. Sometimes we do the same, by treating ourselves to our favorite cuisine – Filipino food! Luckily there is a Lutong Pinoy stall in the nearby Signature Park food court so we need not go far.

They always have lots of food to choose from and they vary the menu so you won’t get fed up, just in case you were a suki. As you can see below, there are at least twelve kinds of viands including rellenong bangus, longganisa, grilled squid, chopsuey, adobong pusit, tapsilog and buttered shrimp.

When you order for dine in, they put your food on a bilao-like plate covered with wax paper. Below is what I ate last Friday – daing na bangus (milkfish) and chopsuey (stir-fried mixed veggies). I love the fact that they have sawsawan! Sawsawan means sauce, the most typical of which is soy sauce with vinegar or calamansi (that tiny round green lemon beside the sawsawan dish). My meal also came with a small bowl of sinigang soup. Sinigang is my most favorite soup ever. It is also sour but savory. When our non-Filipino managers asked us what Filipino food we’d recommend they try, I suggested this and the adobo.

You also have the option of ordering for takeaway and they’ll put your orders into a plastic container but you’ll have to top up 50 cents. This is what my friend Dred had last Friday – dinakdakan (Ilocano grilled pig face) and her favorite monggo (mung bean soup).

It’s more expensive than local Singaporean hawker food though, costing a minimum of S$6.50 for a meal with one meat and one veg versus local hawker meals costing around S$3. But I did say it’s a treat, right? Which means we only have it on special occasions. What? Friday is a special occasion! ;P
