From outside it looks like a typical ethnic grocery store, but step through the brightly coloured plastic curtains and you're transported inside a Filipino kitchen. The bain-marie offers 10 home-style Filipino dishes, changing daily: the adobo, chicken stewed in vinegar and soy, is a favourite and available most days. Every other day there's sisig, pork fried then sauteed in onion, chilli and garlic; or paksiw soup, a mouthwatering must-try of fish fillet cooked in vinegar and garlic, with chunks of bitter melon. Leave with some unique groceries: salted anchovies, Filipino spaghetti sauce (it's sweeter) and Ding Dong mixed nuts.
