One of the traveler's adventures is to try the local cuisine of their destination. Filipino dishes evolved gracefully through time. The original Filipino dishes maintained it's classic taste but were influenced by Chinese, Spanish, Japanese and American twists.
Crisostomo Restaurant is one of the restaurants in the metro that offers Filipino dishes. The resto is located at 2nd Flr. Newport Mall Resorts World Manila. For more information pleasae refer to

Crisostomo is the name of the main character in the famous novel Noli Me Tangere written by Dr. Jose Rizal ( Philippines' National Hero ). The menu dishes were named after the characters in the novel which are very interesting.
The interior design of the restaurant is classic inspired with the influence of Filipino house architecture during the Spanish regime.
For appetizer they serve dried corn, this is a local tidbit which is a bit salty but certainly a Filipino's favorite.
We tried two dishes for our late lunch. We had a seafood platter with coconut milk, fish, mussels, squids, prawns and vegetables like squash and long beans.
The other dish is the local version of chop seuy, sauted vegetables with squid and quail eggs. These dishes go well with white plain rice.
You can also try their cakes and pastries for dessert like ensaymada, egg pie and a lot more.
Give Crisostomo a visit and experience Filipino cuisine!
