Top 5 Specialty Food in Calabarzon

Sikat Rd, Alfonso, Cavite, Philippines

“It was my second time eating here. The first time there were only four of us so we ordered only 3 viands. This time, there were 20 of us, so we were able to sample more food. Some were very good, like the fresh spring rolls, the red chicken curry, the shrimp hot and sour soup, and a fried spring roll, which I forget the name. The others were just OK for me like the pad thai and the bagoong rice. The ambiance is very nice and the service was excellent. There's ample parking at the back of the restaurant.”

““To order, please call one of our friendly staff” the menu reads. The only problem is, none of the staff wears a badge to identify whether they are or not. So, I stopped one and asked him if he was friendly. After looking at me as if I’d come from another planet, he pointed out that all the staff in the restaurant are friendly. So, I could take my pick as to whom I would place my order with! So with that out the way, I would say that this is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Los Baños. The food is good, the staff are super friendly, it’s good value for money. This was my 5th visit and I will definitely be returning plenty of times in the future. Well done SK!”

“I come back every time I visit the Philippines. It's still (mostly) very consistent. The only miss was that the bulalo was a little salty during our visit. Otherwise, great all around. One non food related issue is that their parking space is very small, and there's a need to double park at the front of the restaurant.”

“Overall: Go here for the ambiance, not the food, service, or value for money. Food: Not worth going back to. We ordered pastries, cold drinks and hot drinks. Their best-selling hot chocolate drink, along with most of the menu items are too sweet, too loaded with sugar! I would recommend asking if you can control the sugar level of your drink. Cost is expensive for what you get, but understandable since the location is far from the city center; if only it were good. Interiors, atmosphere: Superb! It's like being in Baguio but without the clutter. The pine tress and rolling slopes are amazing. The cold breeze was perfect for savoring a hot drink. As with many Villar-owned chains, the interiors are pretty, sadly this doesn't translate to the taste of their food. Service: All their staff were unwelcoming to customers despite it being a quiet/not-so-busy time during out visit. Their workforce would benefit from a hospitality training.”

“Sadly, the food was not served hot. The beef was hard to chew tbh. There are flies in the area. (We stayed at the Kubo) the table is short. The staffs are nice actually so that's a plus! Parking is spacious and the view is great. Alsoooo ordering group meals make sure to ask if your includes 🍉 because ours have but they didn't serve it.”

“Heard a rumor from an old friend that the old cook of Orient's buko pie is the one cooking for Lety's that's why their buko pie if not as good, might be better than The Orient. Price is the same but without the long lines. And their pies are also freshly baked from the oven. The Orient somehow always try to make their customers wait so long queues will be noticed and will make some kind of commotion to promote that people are willong to wait to buy their buko pies.”

“The foods are all good. The place is very nice and relaxing. It's better to have your meals here during dinner to avoid being expose to sun as this is an open area. No roof, just the tree leaves although there are shaded place but the view at night is better.”

“Budbod Beef and Budbod Shanghai is only for 105 pesos and Budbod Mixed (Beef and Shanghai) they serve free soup which is sinigang. The staff are quick to deliver when you have a request. Mostly it’s also self service. I like the atmostphere. We came here at morning around 9 am. There not much customers but I really love the vibe. It’s open air but they also have electric fans on the pillars. There’s parking on the roadside.”
