salt and pepper ribs – Jellybeans in the City

This cozy resto in New Manila is actually known for offering affordable versions from the original North Park menu.

We recently welcomed my parents home with a sumptuous dinner in Kopi Tiam. The place is located along C. Benitez Street, past Camp Crame from EDSA. The part of Boni Serrano leading to this place was pretty dark and I had my doubts on whether we were in the right location. Fortunately, Hubby chanced upon the signage and we were soon assisted by a friendly security guard into our parking space.

The resto’s interiors were clean, well-lit and had a modern Asian feel.

To satisfy a hungry party of 9, our orders were:

3 orders of large, fresh and nutty vegetable rolls or lumpiang sariwa (only Php93 per roll!)
2 platters of Yang Chow Fried Rice because no Chinese food meal in my family is complete without it (Php188 per platter)
2 plates of Lechon Macau, another family favorite (Php258 per plate)
Brocolli Garlic, just so we can say that we had another veggie dish (Php168)
Salt and Pepper Spareribs, always a safe bet (Php223)
Garlic and Beef Cubes (Php268)
Chami Noodles (Php288), and
Nestea Tower (Php250)
