Honest verdict on Kare-Kare — good but not exceptional

Kare-Kare here was solidly made — rich and porky without anything to complain about. patis fish sauce was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

kamayan feasts eaten with hands from banana leaves are experiencing a cultural revival. The a turo-turo cafeteria atmosphere was pleasant enough. fresh calamansi juice was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Kare-Kare this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
