Lunch @ Mesa Filipino Moderne in Greenbelt 5 :-)

MESA  is certainly one of my favorite restaurants when I'm craving for good Filipino food.

It is one of my top go-to restaurants every time I'm in Manila.

Today, my family & I had lunch there in between hitting our fave stores in Greenbelt and taking advantage of the ongoing mall-wide sale.
Had a great time. ☺

SISIG with egg

(Pork sisig on a sizzling plate topped with fried egg)

Our unico hijo B.E. had this crispy pork sisig with egg.

The server, a very young woman named Brenda,
 tossed the sisig in the rice right at our table.

Laing 2 ways

(Taro leaves, pork, shrimp paste and coconut cream

 topped with adobo flakes, served original and crispy)

This is one of my favorite dishes here ~ the laing is just amazing!

It's a must-try! ☺

Kare Kare

Beef and tripe

(Beef, tripe and fresh vegetables cooked in a rich creamy peanut sauce)

my fave drink:
Sago't Gulaman

P.S.
TIP: It is imperative to make reservations for restaurants like this,
 because it's usually jam-packed during lunch time and dinner time.
(We were lucky there were still tables available inside the restaurant when we arrived. Taking a table outside the resto is a no-no for us because it would be very hot and uncomf'table.)
