Asian comfort food at last! Laksa the right balance of spiciness and coconut milk. Mee Goreng was spicy with a hint of sweetness from the ketchup. Roti Prata was excellent when dipped in curry sauce. Salted Fish Fried Rice finds the right balance of umami. The Cereal Prawns is on a different level, it was sweet yet hearty. Definitely a great find in Marikina. The closest thing to a Singaporean hawker centre here in Manila.
nice presentable food. tasty recipe. not the usual plating. however the place is not that accomodating for large groups maybe thats wahy it was named as "singlish" for single seats.

Craved for laksa for my birthday that's why we decided to try this place. Katong Laksa is soooooooo good. Everything in balance, flavor fireworks ang effect sa tastebuds. Ganun sya kasarap. We tried din the salted egg prawns, ok din kaso nabother ako sa shrimp shell. Breaded yun prawns with shell on pero hindi ganun ka-crunchy. Ang weird kung babalatan ko yun prawn kase may breading, binawi na lang sa taste kase in fairness masarap sya. Sambal eggplant is also a must try. Yum din. Eto yun place if hanap mo lang is masarap na food, walang arte. Piece of advice lang and I hope the management will work on it. Si cashier kase mejo loud yun voice, the time we arrived nakikipag-argue sa delivery man then after phone convo naman na loud voice. Bothered tuloy ang hubby. Minor details lang yan which I know they can easily improve on. :)
alam nyo yung walang arte yung presentation ng inorder namin pero panalong panalo sa lasa at sarap? dont be fooled at what you see. kc di lahat ng maganda ang presentation ay masarap. 😉
Amazing interiors!!!! Ordered cheese and onion pratha to go. Loved the curry sauce. Only letdown was, cheese and onions should be cooked and not just sandwiched between two prathas.
Will definitely go back to try their other dishes.

I remember how much we enjoyed our food trip at Lilac strip Marikina City.
My personal favorite was this small Singaporean restaurant. We had Laksa, Rendang and Chicken. Good for single portion lang each dish.
The owners were friendly. Food are reasonable naman and tasty too.
My favorite laksa! Awesome roti and sauce! Great service and great food! Nice way to spend my dads birthday. More power Singlish! We will definitely come back!
I love this place! It's authentic and it's one of the best in town!! .....that's why we always come here! #singlish #lilacmarikina #laksa #hashtag #lol
Authentic and delicious Singaporean food! Singlish did not disappoint and took our tastebuds to foodie heaven. Here are some of our faves:
Hainanese Chicken
What I loved about Singlish Hainanese Chicken is its authentic flavor. The sauces worked together like magic, giving the dish a sweet and spicy kick.
Salted Egg Chicken
I'm really not a fan of salted egg flavor, but Singlish just changed that. Their Salted Egg Chicken is a MUST TRY, and I can't emphasize that enough!
Cereal Prawns
Sweet, juicy, and crunchy. It was challenging to stop munching on these Cereal Prawns.
Roti Prata
It was my first time to try Roti Prata and at first I thought there was nothing special about it since it looked so simple! Dip it in condensed milk or curry and you'll see (or taste) what I mean.
We didn't get to try their drinks, but I heard they're great, too. We also loved the cool interiors, which is highly instagrammable.

Adventure foodie need not to fly to the fine city to try it's fine food. the authentic dishes with the touch of asian, mideastern & western is right here in Lilac in Marikina City, and has been for some years, a favorite food destination by the locals. Who hasn't the menu is impeccable and fairly rate. And you can't help, but pay a next visit.
The fried pancake or the so-caled ROTI PRATA were served to us with curry sauce and condesed milk. I just missed this carbo source. Back in my mid-east days we used to substitute it to rice. My peers were curious how it taste and they, liked it. Set your cuttleries!, the Prata's best eaten with a bare hand.
KATONG LAKSA (p228) (that yellow and rice noodles w/ merging of egg, shrimp, togue and coconut prawn stock) is a spicy-sweet noodle, so authentic and worth trying. Can be enjoyed by 2-3 bellies.
Braised Pork tenderness and soothing is also unforgettable. It was, accordingly, braised for 3 hours with special spices all the way from China.
For seafood, we've tried the SALTEDEGG PRAWNS in salted egg gravy. Interestingly, its not really salty. and out of the salty taste comes the sweet and spice, asian cuisine is prominent for. You gonna forget not the creamy sauce, too.
CHAR KWAY TEOW is also a signature dish. dark pasta that is semi-sweet semi-salty and spice-less. It is dry and has less oil on it. There's something about its choco color, thus I find it a challenge to eat. Good though, taste wise.
Tired of fried? HAINESE CHICKEN is fresh. and yes, tastes half-cooked, but equally inviting with the thinly sliced cucumber on the side. The 3 types of gravies (I chose the chili spice) would champion the taste. Expect the meat to be light and friendly for chewing tasks.
#Singlish upper level has a more conducive dining area. Presentable with cool murals on the backdrop. One of it says.
Makan Lah! (Let's Eat) and yes, your belly will be pampered like it was never before.
