Lutong Pinoy (Earl's Court)

• I ate a lot growing up but was quite picky
• I'd have anything inihaw (grilled) or prito (fried) but wouldn't touch anything with tomato sauce such as menudo and afritada or clear soup like nilaga or tinola
• It's a stew made with the leftovers of lechon (that's roast pig for you Filo food newbs
• It is not the best I've had but it was good enough to satisfy a craving
• You can never go wrong with lechon sauce
• I never liked this before as I was a cereal eater as a child
• I liked that it was not overly sweet
• Filipino cuisine is really the poster child of 'fusion' cuisine
• So being partial to some good Filipino food I went with the group to check it out
• Upon stepping inside I felt I was in the Philippines
• Set up is very basic but service is friendly and fast
• If you like pork cracking then just go for this with a side of fried rice and you will be very content
• Shame there are not many more in London
• Have visited Lutong Pinoy (Earl's Court) a few times now since there are not really a lot of Filipino restaurants around
• I have tried the buffet twice and ok both times i was disappointed
• There are not a lot of dishes and maybe it's just me but presentation is another factor too
• I was over the moon as they were so gooooooood
• One night i went here with friends to try the boodle fight menu which is basically food served on banana leaves with lots of rice topped with 5 choices of dishes
• Blog series to try Philippine food again and boy was I in for a treat
• Lutong Pinoy is located off the main drag
• In Tagalog kamayan means 'using your hands' and that is exactly what you do when you eat this way
• This and the place next to it are probably the most popular Filipino eating venues in central London for good reasons
• First of all is because of the very casual setup where friends and families usually go to after Sunday church to load up on Filipino favourites
• Point me to where it is cheaper please
• Not because staff are not accommodating but simply the crowds can be overwhelming at times
• Saw a dutch family last Sunday sat down only to leave after they figured that food are prepared in advance
