"Craving Filipino food, I felt so lucky to stumble upon this little shop at our first port in New Zealand! We had crispy pata—the skin was perfectly crispy, while the meat stayed juicy. The free soup was a comforting bonus that warmed my soul. Sometimes, overseas Filipino spots truly outshine those back home!"
