Lunch out was still a week away but we decided to have it earlier. La Mesa Grill caught our attention, and we tried the SM North branch, due mainly to the fact that the establishment is located at the Sky Garden.
The place is not that spacious but there’s a cozy feel to it. And the native decors give you that impression that the establishment serves Filipino dishes, which now brings me to a discussion about the food. Hands down, this is the best grilled restaurant I’ve been to. The dishes we had were simply delicious. I highly recommend the laing with adobo flakes, which is gabi/taro leaves cooked in coconut milk, topped with adobo flakes, and served on banana leaves.
The establishment is known for their Crispchon, short for crispy lechon. I know, not too creative on the moniker but who cares? We had one anyway. The skin and meat of the roasted suckling pig is chopped into bite-size pieces, wrapped in pandan crepe, and garnished with cucumber, wansuy, and leeks.
There are six flavours of sauce to choose from: we had the garlic (I liked this dip), sweet chili, and Rikki’s choice (my colleagues loved this).
Definitely worth another visit!
