Kuxina - Matina

Kuxina's Tapaleng is a must-try. Sweet and tender, this take on the classic tapa is a winner, especially with the yummy fried rice, salted egg, and sunny side up. The serving can be good enough for two. Their Crispy Kare Kare tasted really good, however, we had a hard time chewing it. Hope it can be more tender para pak na talaga.

Sinigang is my forever love, i tried variety of sinigang but fried sinigang of kuxina is a unique deliciously awesome. crave for more. #lovethismuch #goodfoodforgoodmood

We tried their crispy kare kare. The sauce is good but the pork is not that crispy anymore, I think they prepared it ahead of time and the vegetables are of little serving only. But all in all, fair enough for the price.

Owners Laurence and Elena Lagamson are fond of food and conceptualized their food by converting it to something else. They offers Filipino food with a twist on it. Must try's are Kaldereta P155, Tapaleng P135 and Sisig Roll P80.

Filipinos love a good serving of rice in their meal especially if it’s topped with the traditional well-loved viands. A mother and son restaurant that is owned and managed by Elena and Lawrence Lagamson, they brought their own twist to the Filipino delicacies such as the Tapaleng and Crispy Kare-Kare. Tapaleng was named after Lawrence’s favorite dish and nick name in high school. This dish is a combination of sweet and spicy with a siding of fresh Tomatoes and salted egg. The tapa was so tender with a flavorful combination of sweet and spicy. The salted egg complemented the freshness of the tomatoes. Crispy kare kare is a fusion of Lechon Kawali and Kare-Kare. The Lechon Kawali was cooked to a perfect crisp that will make you crave for more. Kare-Kare’s sauce was nutty and sweet with fresh vegetables incorporated in the mix. The presentation of both dishes including Tapaleng was served using a mini frying pan which is good for sharing. Sisig Roll is made with a fusion of spring roll and Sisig. I was hooked with just one bite as it was light and less oily. An additional factor why I love this dish is that it was drizzled with garlic sauce which gave a more zesty taste to it. chasingcuriousalice.com
