For us, when asked for a restaurant with great Filipino Food, Mesa will always come out of that list.
(F)ood:
Another restaurant that serves Filipino food with a twist.
What we usually order:
Tinapa Rice - flavorful rice of smoked fish. Love this rice but I hope they would amp up the serving size since the rice is so yummy and when shared, I think it can only serve 2 persons :)
Pork Sinigang in Guawa and Pineapple - there is something magical in this dish. maybe it is the wonderful mix of sweet and sour pineapple and that unique guava taste. It's like the flavors are looking for your attention so they acted as a team and impressed you well :) haha! But it took me a while before I loved this one of a kind soup.
Crispy Boneless Tilapia with four sauces - super love this dish and its special sauces, particularly love the honey patis dip! yummy!
Crispchon - yummy young lechon served in two ways! either in a pandan crepe or chili garlic. so sumptuos and yummy!
Baby squid in olive oil - super love this dish! yummy yummy yummy!
They also offer seasonal seafood like crab, which you can choose the way you want it cooked, I prefer it to be salted and spicy
(A)mbience:
The layout is like an open restaurant with some seats outside the the main restaurant. Their place is quite small for large groups but partitions were made for a more private feel (I am not sure if they have special rooms for special private reservations). but they have The place is neat and tidy and is well-kept. But this place is great for bonding with family or your friends.
(B)utler Service:
The servers are friendly and provide our requests at once.
Mesa is a favourite go to place for Filipino restaurant. I love their tofu with century egg. And the Pata and Karekare is the best. Although it’s a little hot in the area. But will still be back ☺️
Mesa Moderne Filipino understands that adapting to change is everything. Despite being recognized consistently as one of the top Filipino restaurant retailers, still, they innovate their menu regularly.
On this Looloo rendezvous, we were presented a whole new line-up of creative concepts brought about on what they feel their customers are and will look for.
First, let me suggest a pairing, a certified must-have combination especially when you are with family and friends. The All Meat Platter of classic Filipino barbecue with a bowl of Tinapa Fried Rice. You have juicy, well-seasoned barbecue chicken, beef (tadyang) and pork matched with tasty and smoky flavors of tinapa. Heaven!
If you grew up craving for Sinigang, Mesa has a unique variety with Sinigang na Hipon with Guava and Pineapple. The source of sourness collides with some hints of sweetness, given the presence of two different fruits.
Mesa also added traditional Pancit Canton and a twist on the familiar Adobong Kangkong. These new savory pieces should be enough to get you to visit them again.
The last bite before our team went to another Foodee Global Concepts restaurant was Turon with Langka Ice Cream. This packed a punch with its strong lingering taste! The saba and jackfruit wrapped together seemed like it was meant to be.
Mesa awaits you. When is the next occasion?
