La Terraza Restaurant

By Mustachio @mustachio2011
A tarpaulin with a photo of a bowl of halo-halo. Mmmm...tempting. After an hour of going up and down and around Kawa-Kawa Hill on a warm day? I gave in to temptation. Advertising works.
La Terraza Restaurant is just a few meters before the entrance of Kawa-Kawa Hill. Even before I had settled on a chair, "One halo-halo na may lambanog (Php 65), please". And the mistake of taking a look at the menu. A quick scan of the menu resulted in an order of sisig pansit guisado (Php 100). A case of having eyes bigger than the stomach.

The halo-halo had red beans, nata de coco, mango, buko, melon, ube, a scoop of ice cream, a choco wafer stick, and a cup of lambanog (coconut wine). I found out, while talking to one of the staff, that this has been featured in a Philippine TV show. It did have a different taste because of the lambanog, but it didn't make me a fan. Maybe because I was never a fan of wine?
The sisig pancit guisado comes in two sizes. The larger one costs Php 200. The one I got was for Php 100 and it looked like it could feed up to four persons. Good price for its serving size. The reason for ordering this? Sisig. I love sisig. But this one was a bit of a disappointment... it was too salty.
It's either not my day or not the cook's day.
