As promised, this is the continuation of the Dove event entry posted the other day. Will try to be as helpful as I can because since this is a hosted gathering, I didn't get the chance to peek at their menu. Romulo Cafe is nearly at the corner of Jupiter and Nicanor Garcia St. (formerly Reposo).
Being named after the famous Filipino diplomat Carlos P. Romulo, I first thought that this restaurant could be some sort of museum too. Well, I am somehow correct because the entire restaurant welcomes you with a showcase of photos taking us back to the historical life of General Romulo.
The interior is mainly composed of black and white maze, Aztec and swirl patterns on the walls. You will also notice their high ceiling which made the restaurant look more spacious plus a few comfortable couches and pillows ready to de-stress your tight working day.
I gladly tried their welcome food and drink below while I was having some chit chat with Patty who gracefully hosted the Dove event.
I'm not sure what's this one called but it's like wrapped Pork Sisig with vinegar. It surely tasted good and yet another twist on how it was presented.
The following dishes were the ones served for the main course. Again, I can only recall a few names so pardon me if I didn't take notes as I was too conscious with my make up that night. Ha ha! Anyway, this one is the Spicy Tuyo Pasta with Red Eggs and Fresh Tomatoes.
Tito Greg's Kare Kare
Pork Belly Humba
Bangus Belly

They also serve cakes and pastries to satiate your dessert cravings. We tried the Chocolate cake that night which was 5 times sinful. It was all worth it though.
Overall, the food merely showed twists and flares of the Filipino cuisines we grew up with which made them really exquisite. The taste wasn't that phenomenal but this is a good place to visit when you have balikbayan relatives who dearly missed our local dishes. I didn't get the chance to check out the entire place but noticed an al fresco area if you prefer. For me, this restaurant deserves a second visit where I can clearly read the captions in the photos and relish their best sellers.
