We've been to Café Juanita Pasig before and we had an awesome experience. So we decided to celebrate our niece's birthday on a Saturday night at Café Juanita not in Pasig but in Alabang. The restaurant has lots of potted and hanging plants, though the Asian art decor is more subdued than the main branch.

I heard a lot raving about the Two-way Pork Adobo Ribs but it didn't quite measure up to our expectations. It was just okay, nothing really to rave about. However, the presentation was charming.

The Sinigang soup was flavorsome since the waiter let us taste first the soup before it was served at our table. I love that they put a lot of veggies.

The combination of green mango and shredded catfish was perfect.

Catfish Mango Salad Php 308.00 (Thai style crispy shredded catfish on green mango salad)

The small slice of Fish Fillet with Kare-Kare sauce was cooked and seasoned to perfection. 

Fish Fillet with Kare-Kare sauce Php 439 (Pan grilled fish fillet on a bed of native vegetables drizzled with Juanita's famous Kare-Kare sauce)

We also tried to order Grilled Tofu with Pesto & Greens but it was out of stock. The home-style desserts of Cafe Juanita looked appetizing but I had to ignore it since we still have two scrummy cakes in the house waiting to be devoured. I can even hear them calling out our names with enchanting-like sweetness. :)
