Lumpiang Shanghai: pork and vegetable spring rolls; calamansi (sparkling lemonade) drink. (J) So crispy and good. I liked the drink, it reminded me of Sunny D. (S) The rolls were so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I could have eaten so many more.

Pancit Canton: egg noodles with chicken and shrimp. (J) Very satisfying. A bit too salty for me though. (S) This dish is pretty similar to Chinese style fried noodles. Although it was a bit on the greasy side for me, it was tasty enough.

BBQ Chicken Skewers: served with java rice and pickled papaya. (J) I liked the sweet glaze of the chicken. I'm not sure what java rice is. I don't like papaya, but the salad was good! (S) I really liked the texture of the salad, it had bite. The java rice was very soft and mushy, I personally like some bite in my rice. The chicken was nice with the sweet glaze.

Halo Halo: mixed beans and fruits on shaved ice. (J) So many flavours; perfect for dessert ADD. I liked the ube ice cream and beans. (S) I liked the variety of flavours and different beans. I could have had more beans and aloe and less ice cream. It got much too sweet for me near the end; it was a good thing we shared.
