Great things can be found just around the corner
[Patio Carlito & White House on the 84th]
A new restaurant and restobar just opened near our place. The name of the restobar is White House on the 84th. This place serves great Filipino dishes with a twist. Some examples of their delectable dishes are: Picha pie (a Filipino twist on pizza) and Chicken Adobo Wings (a Filipino version of Buffalo wings). They also serve a variety of cocktails and liqueurs.

Beside this new restobar is Patio Carlito. It is a Filipino restaurant with a modern zing. It is located at 84 Sct. Tuason St., corner E. Lopez Sr. Ave., Quezon City, Philippines.

During my dining experience I was able to sample 4 dishes. The first dish was Kinilaw na Lamang Dagat sa Gata. Kinilaw is raw fish that was soaked (so that it becomes cooked) in vinegar. Lamang Dagat is the Filipino term for seafood and Gata is coconut milk. This dish was very good. It was spicy but the bite that the chili brought was so good. The next dish is Adobong Kangkong with Crispy Cuchinillo Strips. This dish was also superb! The Cuchinillo (chicharon) strips were so good and crunchy. I was also able to taste their Tagaytay Osso Buco. Tagaytay is a wonderful place in the Philippines and to fully understand what an Osso Buco is here is a link of an example recipe: http://www.monterey.com.ph/frenchPorkChopShanks.html. The last dish I tasted was Classic Lengua. Lengua is ox tongue. This was my favorite of the night. The creaminess of the sauce was just right with the meat of the dish.
