Victorino's Restaurant, Quezon City

Victorino's quaint, charming chandelier,  

 antique clay jar with fresh garlic and onions on top of this 

round timeworn, probably narra, wooden table

greet the customers as they enter the restaurant.

I requested to be seated at  the  table nearest the 

cake refrigerator display and the pasalubong corner.

I noticed a pretty lady walking around and knew right away that she 

is Ms. Queenie Savellano, an old schoolmate.  She is one of the 

owners of Victorino's.  She was kind enough to give us a bowl 

of chichacorn.  Thanks Queenie! 

Chichacorn

Kilawin na Tanguigue, had coconut milk, which makes it different

from the kilawin in other restaurants.

Hubby's favorite, goes well with ice cold beer.

Poqui Poqui

.. is grilled eggplant sauteed with garlic, onions and tomatoes, 

topped with spring onions.  This is really delicious, 

very fresh and perfect with steamed rice and

 the other\grilled meat that we ordered.

Crispy bagnet, Vigan longanisa with Sukang Iloko and tomatoes.

Sarabasab / Grilled Liempo with Dinuguan Sauce

We ordered too much and had the leftover placed in take out boxes.

But I just had to end the meal with something sweet.

I got two pieces of Yema Balls and a  piece of Sylvanna.

The yema was alright but the sylvanna tasted like sweetend

cardboard.  I still like the sylvannas sold at SM 

and the ones from Red Ribbon. 

The cakes at Victorino's are by Heny Sison. 

Guess I have to go back just to taste their cakes.
