Chicken Adobo Combo

The Chicken Adobo Combo consists of chicken thighs simmered in soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, garlic and peppercorns. The chicken is accompanied with egg rolls, rice, and noodles with vegetables.

Palabok

Palabok is a regional noodle dish with a sauce made with ground pork, annotto (seeds of the achiote tree), and tofu, topped with fried garlic, ground pork rind, boiled eggs, and lime. It has a unique taste that some will like and some will find too unusual.

Pancit Bihon Canton 

Pancit Bihon Canton is a Filipino noodle dish with chicken carrots, cabbage, and celery, topped with spring onions, garlic, and lime.

Bangus Sisig

Bangus Sisig is fried and shredded boneless milkfish served with onions and bell peppers, and seasoned with lime juice, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic. It is served on top of the skin of the milkfish. 

We finished the meal with a classic Filipino dessert, halo halo. 

Halo Halo

Halo Halo is a popular Filipino dessert with a layer of shaved ice topped with various ingredients, including boiled sweet beans, coconut, sago (similar to tapioca), gulaman (agar jelly), tubers and fruit, and colorful ice cream. Jowli's version of Halo Halo serves sweetened condensed milk on the side to pour over the Halo Halo and a rolled cookie. The taste is sweet, with a variety of textures and colors.

The four dishes plus the halo halo came to $37.63 including tax.
