I'm sad I didn't go to Sarap while it was around =( I had been wanting to try the Lechon Kawale & crispy pata.

kat

pricey!

Kirk

Hi Derek - Why not check out Villa Manila for the crispy pata - haven't been in a while but it used to be pretty good.

Quite pricey Kat!

jack

My visit mirrors yours Kirk, a bit of a mixed bag. I really hope they settle in. San Diego really needs a filipino place where you can have good filipino food while drinking a few San MIgs :)

Kirk

So much potential Jack! I hope it's not wasted.

RedDevil

Your poke description was great. SD poke, so bland!

Dereck

is that Bourdain art for sale???

Soo

I liked the food at Sarap. I guess I'll have to try this new spot before it becomes something else.

Junichi

Hmmmm. If they're still around in a few months I may give them a try.

Kirk

I agree RD!

I dunno Dereck; I didn't ask.

Check them out Soo.

If they are still around in a few months, I'll do a revisit Junichi!

Was interested in the Bicol Express but if it's not even spicy....

Kirk

Hi Kendi - I think you should check the place out....but it really lacked spice....and the wonderful flavor of bagoong.

Derek R

I'll check out the crispy pata at Villa Manila - thanks Kirk!

caninecologne

no ampalaya in pinakbet is a travesty. san diego is behind in terms of the filipino food movement. hopefully this place will improve

Kirk

Let me know how you like it Derek!

I was quite disappointed CC!

Derek R

Kirk - off topic but I saw that there's a new halal Chinese place from OC coming to Clairemont (Ma's House). Hoping for some good lamb noodles and dumpling. Makes me think of Jamillah Garden from back in the day by the OG Tajima.

I saw that Derek. I've been to Mas' Islamic in Anaheim:

Ha! Thanks for the link - I had missed that one. Hopefully their suan cai yang rou has improved. Regardless, it's nice to see more ethnic Chinese coming to SD.

Soo

Hi! I tried Gaya Gaya and linked to your review. Loved the lechon kawali.

Kirk

Thank Soo! I gotta get back there soon!
