When it comes to Cafe Fleur’s offerings, Chef Sau has made sure that each dish will give you a sigh of satisfaction, just like all his comfort food does. Say for example, his version of Boneless Fried Chicken has crispy, golden-brown exterior with juicy, tender meat inside that will surely make you say, “Extra rice, please!”

Meanwhile, Middle Eastern cuisine fans will love Cafe Fleur’s Lamb Shank Tagine–lamb meat slow-cooked to perfection in a blend of herbs and spices. This is served with spiced squash and chickpeas that gives the dish hints of sweetness and earthiness.

Ending your meal here with their Vuco Fye is a must-try experience. This delectable interpretation of the beloved Los Baños delicacy features multiple layers of coconut meat and custard filling in a pastry. The contrast between the generous coconut filling and the slightly crunchy crust will leave you wanting more.
