Serye

Ranny

Serye is the anagram of the last name "Reyes", the family who is known to make the best barbecued chicken in Manila. This specialty comes with their signature java rice and sweet peanut sauce. This dish is of course available at Serye. Although, when we visited, we picked desserts as we already had a heavy meal prior to our visit. We had the Turon ala mode and Halo Halo. The serving size was big enough 2 people. My companion and I should have settled for one dessert. Price per head 350 - 500.

The place itself is nice, friendly service. It's simply designed and meant for casual dining, great when out with family, a date, or with friends. The food isn't the best Filipino food I've had, though. The dishes I've tried were either bland (pinakbet), or overpowering saucy flavors and pure fat (binagoongan). Bibingka was too chewy and cold, while the rice was old.

Serye is a bit pricey, but for that, the resto gets to be less crowded which makes it a good setting for meetings or alone time with laptop. I find the place conducive when I needed some quite time to do some work on my laptop. They have reliable wifi. I haven't checked though if they have electric outlets (didn't get to check for I needed no power plugging on the two times I went there.)On both times, I ordered "suman at mangga" which I find delicious for it has latik and niyog. The mango during the first time I had it was sweet, but the second one was not much. Not sure if they changed supplier. I wish they could have the mango consistently the sweet kind.
