A Filipino Fiesta!

Ready, set, go! You have 30 minutes, your mandate is to try a new dining experience, what do you do? Cram five hungry teachers into a caravan and vamoose across the street to Fiesta Filipino (Victoria Park and St. Clair Ave. on Victoria Park Ave), a little treasure trove of filipino cuisine. New to the cuisine, the adventurers tried out laing (taro leaves cooked in coconut milk with prawns), fried grouper, caldereta kambing (goat stew with vegetables), chicken adobo (braised chicken in vinegar/soy sauce), amidst the offerings of sisig (spicy re-fried roasted pork skin), and mungo soup with prawn (lentil soup) upon a bed of rice. There was also a generous offer of stir-fry noodles ready in FIVE minutes, however the hungry hoard was craving rice. The combo of rice and 2 dishes and a drink comes well under $10 and there are a few tables to dine in. Lee, the owner and gracious host offers delivery within a certain area with a selection of pre-made desserts: puto (steamed rice cakes), ube halaya (sweet yam paste) and ensyamada (sugar and cheese coated brioche)....
