If there\u2019s any word to describe Dekada Historic Filipino Cuisine Restaurant<\/strong>, it would be nostalgic. Granted the interiors are contemporary, with the blue walls and carved chairs, the music of Apo Hiking Society playing in the background is enough to send anyone down memory lane. There\u2019s also old memorabilia plastered on the walls and displayed on shelves, like old phones, records, and posters, which are immediate indicators of the type of food Dekada serves \u2013 good ol\u2019 Filipino favorites presented in a more contemporary way.<\/span><\/p>\n

It goes without saying that there is Adobo<\/strong> (P390) on the menu, and Dekada\u2019s version is worth a round of applause. The beef adobo, topped with whole cloves of garlic, is twice cooked, making it so fork tender and the sauce intensely delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dekada\u2019s version of Bicol Express<\/strong> (P268) is also deserving of attention. Unlike the usual Bicol Express, Dekada\u2019s is a deconstructed one, with deep-fried pork belly slices topped with chilis with coconut sauce on the side.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re up for something lighter, try Dekada\u2019s Garlic Chicken<\/strong> (P228) or Seafood Kare-Kare<\/strong> (P289), a dish of seafood meat and vegetables tossed in peanut sauce. Pair these dishes with Dekada\u2019s Bagoong Rice (P328), which is rice tossed with shrimp pasta, topped generously with slices of grilled pork, scrambled eggs, and green mango slices for that sour factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finish your meal off with any of these Filipino desserts: Turon<\/strong> (P128), a dessert roll of bananas and langka<\/em> (jackfruit) encased in a thin, lumpia wrapper; Leche Flan<\/strong> (P68), a silky custard dessert with caramel on top; Palitaw<\/strong> (four pieces for P89), flat sticky rice cakes topped with coconut shavings and sugar, or Halo-Halo<\/strong>, a shaved, milky ice dessert with a variety of toppings like beans and langka<\/em> served in a coconut for that complete Filipino, tropical experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
