I went back to Dekada more than a month ago to have dinner with college friends. Since I have tried their Family Fiesta Platter the last time I visited, we went ala carte this time.
For veggies, we ordered Kempeitai or Gising Gising (Php 168).

I requested for this dish because it's my favorite veggie dish. I wasn't disappointed with the amount of heat Dekada put in their Gising-Gising. I had to add more rice to tame the heat down.
For other dishes, we had Sizzling Pork Sisig (Php 228) and Gomburza or Ox-Tail and Tripe Kare Kare (Php 348).

I like Sisig, but I was looking for more crunch. I couldn't ask anything more to the Kare-Kare, as it has both the tuwalya and buntot. The sauce was quite thick and flavorful. A must-try when you visit Dekada.
We partnered the hardcore dishes with Dominicano or Adobo Rice (Php 268).

The serving was supposed to be good for 2 to 3 persons, but I think it was more than generous for the four of us.
For drinks, I had my favorite shake, Watermelon Shake, or Cardinal Sin (Php 128) while my friend got Bottomless Dalandan or Marcos (Php 98).

For dessert, we shared a buttery Puto Bumbong (Php 148).

So glad we can have this any day of the year. It was so heavenly! :)
I was amazed that our little feast wasn't as expensive as we expected. The service was as pleasant as my previous visit, and the food was more impressive than the dishes I have tried before. More reasons to go back.

DeleteEverything looks delish, even the Puto Bumbong. I'm not a fan of Puto Bumbong but that picture makes me want to try some.

DeleteOMG! I can't wait to come home. i want those food.

DeleteI have got to try their gising gising! We've been looking for gising gising the other day because it's my brother's fave dish. We ended up in Recipes.
ReplyDeleteI liked Recipes' version too, but I think your brother will like Locavore's Gising Gising. What do you think? :)
