Because we were far from civilization (read: far from town), and because it was a particularly windy day with storms in other areas of the country, we ate at where we were to spend the night.
We asked the kids (who were maybe some employee's children) in the vicinity what were delicious and they answered Chicken Curry and Pork Menudo. We took their advice and ordered these.
The food arrived after an hour but was large even if they said it was good for one. I should always remember that foreign-owned establishments have larger servings and their food for one is actually for two or three Filipinos.
The Pork Menudo was not all potatoes and carrots. It had a substantial amount of meat too unlike that in other restaurants. Its sauce is not thick but was tomato-ey and oily. A delicious combination I often see in rural areas. The carrots and potatoes were well done and so was the meat. It was a little spicy too.
The Chicken Curry was the star of the night. It was spicy as the children said. The chicken was well-cooked, plenty and had potatoes in it. Winner!
