I was in a company of Kuya Wetoy, who works as a VP for Allied Bank (he is the mentor of my bestfriend and I am glad that he treats me just the same). We wanted to eat at Dampa MOA but ended up at Cafe Adriatico because of the waiting time and thank God we had our lunch here. Food is divine!

The interior has nostalgic feel very similar to it's main branch in Malate, Manila. Wait,  there's a photobomber;- that's Kuya Wetoy from behind. haha

Mao's Chicken Salad; Shredded chicken, lettuce, potato strings, and soba tossed with hoisin dressing 168.00

Lola Ising's Adobo; Fried adobo of pork belly on a bed of adobo rice 495.00

Lengua Estofada; Ox tongue with olives and mushroom sauce 405.00

One of the best adobo I've ever tasted next to Nanay's ( my very own grandmother- oh, i miss her cooking). The meat is so tender you can easily chew it. I just want it with plain rice. You see, a so tasting meat should go best with just plain rice. Their version of Chicken salad is also very interesting, which is mixed with hoisin sauce and peanuts.

A good value for your money. You can also try their Cubao branch at Gateway Mall.

Until our next adventure,
