When talking about simple and yet flavorful tummy-filling dishes we just found one place to indulge yourself. The restaurants name is Recipes and we had some of their best sellers and what's more enticing is their sweet desserts.
Recipes Restaurant has been around for more than a decade already and it has grown its number of branches in different parts of the metro. Mostly are located inside in some of the busiest mall in greater manila.
GISING-GISING - literally if translated in English this means "Wake Up, Wake Up" and with the ingredients that it has will surely make you awake enough. Gising-gising's ingredients are green beans and ground pork cooked with coconut milk. To make it spicy enough it is added with siling green (green chili pepper) and sometimes the wild pepper or siling labuyo to make it even spicier but for Recipes version of Gising-gising is just right for the common taste buds of the Filipino. This Recipes version of Gising-gising mixed the flavor enough to taste every ingredients that it has.
GENERAL'S CHICKEN - perhaps this can be considered as a version of Buffalo wings. Recipes' General's Chicken makes the sweet and spice complement with each other covering the tender chicken. Kids will definitely love this, I'm a mom so I should know.
KARE-KARE - I'm not a big fan of this dish but this particular restaurant, the Recipes, gives me a second thought about Kare-kare.
FRIED TILAPIA - this particular dish made me realized that I can play around with the dishes and be creative for the kids to enjoy their own foods. Presented in a french fries-like cut only much thicker. I think kids with problem eating fish will be enticed by this presentation.
With this dishes, your tummies will definitely be filled enough to skip a meal.  But wait we still have dessert and this is what most of us want to have just right after a full meal.
BARAKO MOOUSE - if you're craving something chocolatey and strong, this dessert is the one for you. Its even great if paired with a brewed coffee.
CALAMANSI TART - taste just great if you're into calamansi flavors.

These are some of the best sellers that we've experienced at the Recipes Restaurant. The establishment got a nice place to chill and relax a bit, though its capacity is not big enough for large groups. Try to visit one of their branches near your place and have your own experience.
