Mesa Filipino Moderne, Timog, Quezon City

Filipino cuisine is one of those cuisines we don't get to see a lot of in Sydney. Oh, how I miss the food! My trips back to Manila wouldn't be complete without trying some authentic Filipino food.

"Mesa" translates from Tagalog to English as table.

Pomelo Salad was a bit bland.

Tinapa Roll on Lettuce

 Baked Scallops with Garlic Butter

 Pinakbet with Bangus Belly

 Baby Squid in Olive Oil

 Crispy Boneless Tilapia

 Pork Sisig

 Seafood Sinigang

They have the usual fare, nothing out of the ordinary although I must say I liked how the Tilapia was cooked. Pomelo salad was a let down.
