Returning for some more unique Filipino fare at Laguna Mabuhay. Earlier entry: August 20, 2013.
Meaty soul food: Bicol Express, a simple but satisfyingly comforting combo of spicy pork with chilies & coconut milk. Tastes like pleasant home-cooked fare.
Bistek Tagalog, fried beef with onions & soy sauce. Not mind-blowing, but palate-pleasing.
Pork Menudo, a stew flavoured with pig liver (tasty!), made wholesome with tomatoes & other veggies.
Need more liver? Try the Kalderata chicken (RM15), the epitome of home-made stew, featuring fowl cooked with carrots, potatoes & hot peppers in tomato sauce laced with a lovable liver spread.
Something simpler but still satisfying: Halabos na hipon (RM30), fresh prawns sauteed with salt, oil & a splash of soda.
Tinolang Manok, a gingery chicken soup, light & a little peppery, fairly mild-tasting.
Leche Flan, essentially creme caramel. Sweet & custard-smooth, an enjoyable finish.
Laguna Mabuhay,
3, Jalan Gereja, Kuala Lumpur.
Open daily through 9:30pm
