global asian cuisine - PORTICO 1771

I am very sorry for poor resolution, I just had my cellphone with me.
I was invited to have lunch somewhere in Taguig. A friend of mine treated us something special. Indeed, it was special as I started to savor each chew in some of Portico's specialty of the house. Let me share... First, I had their special starter...Spring Tofu, a touch of Portico 1771's oriental flavor - light yellow tofu omelette with spring onion tempura. Food quality/ Taste - very satisfied!
Then...
Baby Back Ribs, marinated overnite...stewed until tender the deep-fried, coated with a tasty long-cooked sauce with guava jelly.
Chicken Extravaganza (one of fave in the list!), sauteed boneless chicken leg with button and shiitake ushroom and asparagus spears in oyster sauce, flavored cream sauce.
This is my favorite, Pan-fried Lapu-lapu, lapu-lapu fillet topped with lemon-butter, shallots, capers in just a little pickled ginger.
I love it!
Let me rate the place according to my own opinion. Scoring from 1 to 5 (highest).
Cleaniliness (5), Music (4), Food Quality/Taste (5), Menu(5) , Price (3) - Value for money! Based on my first visit, yes! I will dine-in again. The place is great!
Next visit, I will take what I have missed...Gindara with crispy pata bits!

Visit the place, try and you will love it.
