Chef Laudico Bistro Filipino

yyymmm: We came here on Sunday night and were surprised to find they were still offering the "all-you-can-eat" brunch! What a great deal, just under 800 each and we got fabulous food, drinks and dessert. Each of the items were made to order from the menu and came fresh and well presented. The highlights were the prawn soup in the martini glass that was a combination of cool gelatinous stock on the bottom served with a warm coconut concoction on top and the ultra tender, melt in your mouth, wagyu beef! YUM! Great value on its own, but the night was topped off with the free bottle of wine we got with our Enjoy voucher!

jtr831: We had the brunch buffet. Needless to say, no matter how much preparation you made so that you can try as many dishes as possible, you will still get full fairly quickly because the dishes are very hearty. It was great value for my money because it's not your usual buffet spread with the dishes cooked fresh as one orders. My friend and I had 13 plates in total but there's still so much more to be sampled. I do want to go back and try the Adobo Overload. I heard nothing but good things about it.

kat: I love the food here at Chef Laudico. It is Filipino fusion but done really well. The lengua and adobo with foie gras (yumm) is to die for. Can't wait to be back.

mcoy1577: It's a nice looking place and apparently, a place for people who like to see and be seen. When I went there about a couple of months before, it was raining: I was feeling cold and wanted something to warm me up. My friend, who works in the same building as Bistro Filipino, told me the food was great.And so I ordered, barely registering the menu that would have been otherwise appreciated for its elegant leather cover, just zeroed in on my own private list of comfort foods: sinigang and crispy pata. The sinigang was "amusing" that its being served in a martini glass, chilled, almost made up for its failure to serve its purpose: warmth. Crispy pata was equally surprising that there was nothing really crispy-pata-ish in the big plate placed in front of me, except that the entree was too beautiful to eat.I did eat, and tried to conjure in my mind a vision of another time when I would order the same food again-- this time it would be light, and dry, and an all-around great day. Otherwise, I could have turned back the hands of time to that dark, rainy night two months ago and asked the waiter if there's hot soup on the menu.

arjae12: Upon entering Bistro Filipino, it somehow brings you to another dimension, far from the busy streets of the city with its dim lights and silk (is it silk?) draperies. As you enter, you already know the quality of food being served here. The presentation of the food is just unconventional yet perfect -sisig served like macaroons in a candelabra(is it candelabra), tuna kilawin roll served like sushi in a soup spoon, adobo served on top of a sticky rice. Every little detail has been well thought of. If you think the presentation is enough to satisfy the visual cravings, wait til you sink your teeth in the flavorful menu from appetizers to salads, main course to desserts. Everything is sinful. The 3 kinds of mango salad with dijon bagoong dressing will let you experience an explosion of different flavors -the sweetness of the ripe, the sugars of the dried, the sourness of the green, the sweet-sour taste of the tomatoes, the crisps of the lettuce and the perfection of the dijon bagoong in this ensemble.The tuna kilawin roll brings back the perfection of kilawin prepared by your mother. The crispy kangkong gives you the right crisp without overpowering the texture of the kangkong. While the sisig basket is just perfect.Adobo overload, on the other hand, allows you to fill your taste buds with gastronomic flavors of the adobo, the sticky rice, the kangkong and the foie gras. The meat cooked to perfection, the stickiness of the rice well-made and is filled with chicken strips, the foie gras blending perfectly with the flavors of the adobo.The crispy pata kare-kare, is likewise a feast on its own, served a la rice toppings (similar to the adobo overload), it lets you sink your teeth in two of the most popular Filipino dishes -the kare-kare and crispy pata. The peanut sauce enveloping the crispy pata will let you crave for more.If there is one thing I didn't like it's probably the service. Really slow service. Be sure to have a generous amount of patience when you dine at Bistro Filipino because they tend to take a lot of your time preparing for the dishes. But if you've got patience and is looking for a visually satisfying yet perfectly done dishes, then I highly recommend Chef Laudico's Bistro Filipino.
