It's tucked away inside the Al Premium food court area and isn't open particularly late closes at 5, so it's best to try and swing by during the earlier day time. Ordered the Tapsilog from their all day breakfast menu and was thoroughly impressed! The cured beef was super flavourful, soft and well seasoned. The garlic rice was also a nice touch. Overall, the portioning of the food was generous enough that I was full and also enjoying bites of beef and rice together the whole time. I also grabbed a large tray of their cassava cake and found it to be really delicious - a nice touch is that they also line the bottom of the tray with a banana leaf so you can catch just a hint of that when eating the cake too. Hope to be back to try more from their menu! Parking: Parking lot out front is a little small and navigating out gets crowded easily during peak times because of the LA Fitness and Costco.
Okay I'm convinced this Filipino joint is one of the better ones around the Toronto area right smack on the Golden Mile. It's located within AL Premium Foodmart. You know it's good when the crispy pata's skin remains crispy even after some time within a Styrofoam container, that's impressive. The cebuano style lechon is also very good, the meat is tender and the skin is crispy especially on the ends. The Bilo-bilo is also good, not that sweet with enough stuff in it. Pricing is in line with other places but the quality is pretty good albeit some of their servings are small like their Palabok in a small bowl for $8 seems steep. You can also order ahead of time by calling or by text. I think their cooking style is Ilocano and it's good!
Excellent food and tasty quality. We ordered food take out for a party and I ordered 1. Kare kare 2.fresh lumpia 3. lechon kawali 4.crispy fried shrimp. I will definitely order from here again. Pearl was very nice and even help bring our trays to our car. 10/10
Found Perlas at the Pinoy Night Market and got to try their pancit. It was the best pancit I've ever tasted!! Definitely will be ordering more and will be back to share more of my thoughts.
Thank you for our meal last Sunday, my wedding day. We all enjoyed your delicious food and evening was everything we hoped it could be. Thank you so much. Order kami ulit.
The best Filipino Cuisine in Scarborough. A place where you can find authentic Pinoy Specialties. Certified RAPSA SARAP!
Parents picked up food from here for my sister's birthday/ family get together last Saturday... felt sick after....
food was great. The reason i took a star off was because of the lady who assisted me. I ordered a feast / platter for pick up. I was given a paper and i was instructed to go to the nearest cashier to pay for the order. I lined up and waited for few minutes, when my turn came, the lady cashier told me that i needed to go to customer service because she's not able to scan the paper that was given to me. I went to the customer service area and there was a line up for customers checking out 1-8 grocery items. I had to line up and wait again before i was able to pay for my order. I should've been directed to the customer service line right away so i did not have to line up and wait twice.
I love this place. It's located inside the Al Premium grocery store. It's displayed and served food court style with affordable prices to match, but the food is restaurant quality! The food is not greasy and the portion sizes are generous. Great bang for your buck and a good way to explore Filipino cuisine since you can see every dish in person before you order. The option to get pancit stir fried thin noodles instead of white rice with a lunch box order is so amazing!
We ordered the following via UberEats: curry chicken with rice, chicken embutido with rice, chicken adobo with rice and humba. A few minutes later we received a call from the resto that humba was n/a and i asked if they can suggest a substitute. The lady sugfested menudo. Overall food is delicious and satisfied our craving. Each portion was neatly packed in containers and the menudo came adorned in banana leaf cut in a circle. It was a lovely touch and we felt as if we were dining out. Feedback: Curry chicken needs more sauce on the rice ... Also chop the pork in smaller pieces for menudo as it is a little tough to chew. Delicious meals and great value, very clean.
