Binulo Restaurant Clark

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We went to Clark and of course I always take a detour to try something in the area we are visiting 🙂  My friend, Timmy recommended this place so I went to check it out  

binulo-clark-1.JPGbinulo-clark-2.JPG

SOP for me when ordering is to ask the waiter what is the bestseller and I like ordering the bestseller 🙂  He said kare kare but then I don’t eat kare kare so I asked him what was the second bestseller, he said sisig! Done! 🙂  YUM! I was alone so I could only order one dish in fact I even asked if I could have half an order 🙂 I wish we were more so I could try more dishes.  Hoping to return one day 😉
