Tita Reggie pointed it out to me that it is very Filipino to have a last supper painting or decor in the dining room of Filipino families, and I am really beginning to notice that 🙂 

A mini store selling Pampanga delicacies 

Take home items from Everybody’s Cafe 

It’s cafeteria style where all the dishes are displayed.  You choose what you want and then they will heat it up and cook it before serving 

Frogs 🙂 We didn’t order this.  I am adventurous but maybe not that adventurous haha!! 

Murcon which we ordered 

The kitchen 

Oh! It’s the owner, Poch Jarolan.  What a pleasure to meet him

I like the plaques around the place with prayers and sayings 🙂 Poch told me that his dad made these plaques

We ordered quite a number of dishes but we were not as adventurous, my batchmates were quite conservative in ordering.  I concentrated on a few dishes that i really liked which were the Murcon, Sisig, Duck adobo and Sisig! 🙂 Oh and the longganisa!!! YUM!! 

Fresh Buko juice 

 

Pako Salad 

Murcon – YUM! Also good to take home these type of dishes

Pindang Tapa (Carabao Tapa) 

Oh my gosh! Margie brought back for me dried crickette!  She saw a plate of them being cleaned and washed in one of the tables near the restroom and she brought back one for me to see 🙂  The dish for this is called Camaro which now I regret not ordering even just to try! 

Dinuguan 

Fresh Lumpia 

Fried Catfish with Buro and Mustasa 

Paksiw na Bangus 

I made sure we ordered this!  SISIG!! 

Turn it over and the bottom is crispy and tutong! YUM! 

In between our meal, mommy Pette arrived! 🙂 

Back to eating 🙂  YUMMY longganisa!! Available at Salcedo market every Saturday also!!! I will get some when I visit! 

YUMMY crispy duck adobo! make sure to put the adobo sauce 

Yummy desserts from Poch! Thank you!!!   

After lunch, Poch showed me around some more.  He pointed out that his dad was a blacksmith and so he made the tables which you will see in the restaurant.  The cylinder below is made out of the cylinder for bullets from the war 

Then he took me to the function room- bigger space for events and parties 

He showed me a painting on the wall made in 1967 and repainted in 1979 

Its the whole wall!! Beautiful!  I love it because it is FILIPINO themed! 

The artist who painted this was an artist who used to make posters and billboard for movies in the olden days when everything had to be handpainted- so he drew portraits of artists and so you will notice that some of the faces look like familiar faces like  Andres Bonifacio looks like Fernando Poe 🙂

And the Katipunero looks like Ferdinand Marcos 🙂 

And a sexy Filipina 

And love this plaque the most!  Thank you Pock and Everybody’s Cafe for a wonderful Filipino dining experience
