Roanne’s 4-star review:
I rarely take recommendations from my Mom about restaurants, but I trusted her with this one because she is the ultimate Filipino foodie. She told me to check this place out because it was one of her favorite spots to hit on her Canada trips and it did not disappoint! I love Little Ongpin!
I've tried the Pork Sisig here because it's a dish that I feel like is too much labor to recreate at home. THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB. They serve it to you traditional style on a hot sizzling skillet with a lemon and a pepper and the flavor is cray-cray! Crunchy, tangy and spicy all in one!
But what really blew me away was the halo halo here! When they served it to us, I honestly was not impressed. Boy, did my opinion change with that first spoonful! As we dug into the bowl of deliciousness, I felt a wave of nostalgia hit me like a bus. It was honestly like eating a bottomless bowl of dessert! Once you thought you were done, there was just more surprises at the bottom!
The servers here are your typical Tita Aunties and they are so cute. They make you feel really at home and the environment is really casual. Kind of like a typical restaurant in the PI!
They have a huge menu (maybe 80+ items) of Filipino Food Favorites that I still need to check out. Can't wait to try their other dishes!
