Hello Steemit and Foodies out there!
Today I will show you my recent travel in Manila as I had a great dining experience in “Pedro ‘N Coi”.
But before we go further, let’s discover first the derivation of the restaurant’s name, “Perdo ‘N Coi”. It was named after the nicknames of the couple who owned this resto. They are some of the famous persons here in the country, the businessman Lloyd Lee (Pedro) and (‘N) Shamcey Supsup (Coi), the 2011 Miss Universe 3rd Runner-up. Oh she is not only famous in the Philippines but rather in the whole Universe. Lol!
This restaurant showcases the authentic Pilipino Genre during the 90’s. The interior is composed of Pinoy elements just like inside a typical home, like the wooden and metal table and chairs in the 90’s. The walls are designed with popular television shows and personalities. Pedro ‘N Cio recreated the ambience of eating outside the house, in the street similar during fiestas.
Also, the exticing experience in eating inside the iconic transportation in the Philippines, the Jeepney.
The colors inside is so festive and inviting, representing the cheerful characters of the Filipinos.
On the other side of the walls you will find the depiction of the busy city of Manila and the well know landmark in Sta. Cruz.
While the second level, the old wooden house and the capiz shell windows was remarkable, it was like stepping in the ancestrals house back in the days.
But not only that, the interesting part is their MENU, if you’re a ”Batang 90’s”,
just like me 😅 you will definitely smile and will relate to the names in the menu. With the popular tag lines, jokes, names and personalities are the food names we’re derived which sound really funny for others but made really sense.
And speaking of food, of course we got our orders:
This is the “Talong Ranger”, named from the band The Lone Rangers in the 90’s. Talong is Eggplant in English, basically it is an Eggplant Omelet. A special eggplant omelet with ground pork topped with salted duck egg, fresh tomato and onions.
We also have “May Asim Pa”, a popular phrase which usually address to a middle-aged person that still good looking or “yummy” 😅. Well, this dish is “Sinigang”, a Filipino sour soup made from deep fried pork belly in Tamarind with vegetables like petchay, string beans, tomatoes, eggplant, radish and taro.
Ofcourse, we tried the house specialty, the “Manok ni Pedro, their very own version of slow roasted marinated bone-in chicken.
A whole roasted chicken, cut in half platted with soy sauce, hot sauce, atchara and blanched kangkong stem. All dishes are paired with plain rice.
The taste was all good as it looks, the tang of Pinoy cuisine! 😋😋
Our total bill cost 1,470.00 Php (about 30.00 Usd) good for 3-4 persons.
It was past noontime when we arrived in the place, the mall goers are almost done with their lunch. Perfect for us to have a quit meal and photo taking. Haha!
Pedro ‘N Coi is located at 3rd level of Fisher Mall in Quezon City, Philippines.
