Romulo Cafe - Makati

Dining in at Romulo Cafe is always satisfying. We had Cheese and Vigan Longganisa Dumplings (P 185) and Kamote Chips for appetizers. Molo Soup (P 100) was deliciously piping hot! It was so yummy that I had second serving of this delectable soup. I love their take on the Penne Carbonara (P 320). The creamy pasta was sprinkled with bits of Vigan Longganisa. As they serve us the mains, I noticed that Romulo Cafe acknowledges its recipe sources in naming familiar Filipino dishes they serve. Tito Greg's Kare Kare  could rival the best renditions of this dish elsewhere. They also have the crispy kare-kare version but I love this regular oxtail version better. Ginataang Hipon sa Kamias (P 330) is another favorite of mine. The juicy tiger prawns in creamy sauce was topped with Kamias and latik that added texture to this dish. It added a twist to the familiar Laing (P 180) by adding Adobo Flakes. Lola Virginia's Chicken Relleno was savory. It had peas, chorizo, raisins and ground pork for stuffing. I'd like to go back and try the other dishes soon. millette.sison.me

Romulo has been creative with their menu. The price was worth your money. They serve delicious Filipino dishes. I am always a fan of crispy pata and they never fail me. Crispy skin with juicy meat. Perfect dish in every table. Romulo can satisfy your cravings for Filipino dishes.

I've dined here two times already and I enjoyed every moment, so far. First, was last January, when we celebrated my bff's birthday and yes I got to treat her (Thanks to Booky!). We ordered Mixed Bicol Express (YAY), Sinigang na Liempo (worth the price), All Vegetable Canton (has generous amount of veggies), and 3 cups of garlic rice. For the drinks, you'd never go wrong with a pineapple shake and banana shake. Second was last February, post Valentines Day celebration/dinner. I forgot to mention that on my first visit, we dined on the first floor, but today (Feb) we were on the second floor! Has classy interiors just like the first and a very comfy place to chill. And hands down, our table was a six-seater (it was just me and my bf) and we got it all to ourselves! We ordered Beef Bulalo (savoryyy), Pork Belly Humba (yay for me but nay to bf), the famous all-vegetable canton (still delish), sisig rice, buko shake for the gentleman and tap water for the lady. We also got lucky to try their Suman Latik for dessert, and yes it tastes heavenly! If you are a heavy rice eater (like me), I would not recommend this place for you. But if you'd like to experience authentic Filipino comfort food with a modern feel for once in your life, try Romulo Cafe.
