My brothers concentrated on the seafood and vegetables section of the menu. We had Gising Gising as our appetizer, it's beans with ground pork and coconut milk. Wait, what? Ground pork? LOL! Yes, apparently, though this was under vegetables on the menu, it still has meat. Le sigh. My brother said we just go ahead and order Crispy Pata too. LOL. Tofu Teriyaki was a special Lenten offer from Recipes, I'm not a big fan of tofu, so I can't say much about it, what I know though is that the rest of the family loved it, because the plate was empty at the end of our meal.

Next up was Crispy Tilapia, strips of deep fried fish that you either have by itself or dip it in traditional Pinoy sawsawan of soy sauce, onions and sili. I believe the beauty of this dish is that it makes us feel as if we were dining at home because of it's simplicity. The Chili Prawns was something new for us, we were disappointed that the serving was small, my brother had to give me half of the shrimp that was already on his plate since I wanted more. Give me anything shrimp and I'll gladly attack, I love how the spice was just right! Yum!

The staff was attentive, armed with their pens and paper take orders and pitchers full of water or iced tea to make sure you won't go thirsty. It's easier to get a table on weekdays, however, a bit more patience is needed if you do decide to go on a weekend.
The Verdict. Recipes is a restaurant that families can go to every weekend, damage to the wallet would be around 1,500 pesos for 5 people. I will be back to order Chili Prawns just for myself! LOL.
