CAFE VIA MAREThis is my go-to restaurant whenever I crave for Filipino food.Their food always satisfies me. I've eaten here several times already and noticed the consistencies of their food.They have a great selection of all time Filipino dishes here. I always order their Rellenong Talong (P120), Boiled eggplant stuffed with sauteed ground pork and pan-fried with beaten eggs. Spicy Tuyo Flakes (P180), spiced dried herring in olive oil with garlic & spices. Chicken & Pork Adodo (P295), Chicken & pork belly slowly cooked in soy sauce and vinegar with garlic and bay leaf. Tortang Alimasag (P185), Crabmeat omelet served with fried vegetable egg-roll. Crispy Binagoongan (P298) is really mouth-watering. The Pancit Luglog (P195) is so masarap & savory. Their Pork Tocino (P280) is also one of my favorite because of the perfect sweetness & tenderness of the pork. I also tried their Lomi (P165), it has a lot of ingredients & very tasty. For their dessert, of course, they have these delicious Bibingka with Laguna cheese & salted duck egg (P115) or with queso de bola (P138), Puto Bumbong (P70) & Palitaw (P45) is also yummy.The servers are very polite & the service is superb!#aroundthecitybyIDOMNEinstagram - IDOMNE

Via Mare is one of the best places to get your fill of Filipino comfort food.My favorites are the fresh lumpiang ubod (P132), arroz caldo (P205) with tokwa't baboy (P172), pansit luglog (P230), bibingka wih Laguna cheese and salted duck egg (P130) and puto bungbong (P80) with queso de bola (add P26) and palitaw (P55).Recently I got to try their Tortang Alimasag (P195) served with fried eggroll, that just tasted like what my 'yaya' used to cook. Fresh sweet flavors of crab in an omelet.Their Kare-kare (P410) was just ok. I prefer the more intense kare-kare flavor of a Filipino "Fried chicken house".But all-in-all, Via Mare would be a favorite place to go back to when craving for something close to home.

Nothing ever goes out of style. That's why Via Mare has been operating almost forever for someone like me who grew up eating their food. For this sunday I went with their classic arroz caldo with tokwat baboy and halo halo. I was 8 again even for a few minutes.
