No pork is served at Pinoy Tambayan.
What is Filipino food like?
Filipino cooking is savoury, sour and garlicky rather than chilli hot. Adobo is braised in vinegar, soy and garlic. Sinigang is a sour tamarind soup. Sisig is chopped and served sizzling on a hot plate. Most dishes are built to share, and rice is part of the meal rather than a side.
What should I order if I have never eaten Filipino food?
Start with Pancit Bihon at AED 25, the dish our reviewers name most, and Sizzling Beef Sisig at AED 39. Both are savoury rather than sour and come to the table looking like what they are. Finish with Halo Halo at AED 29.
What is sisig?
Sisig is chopped meat, seasoned and served sizzling on a cast iron plate. We serve it four ways: beef at AED 39, chicken at AED 35, tofu at AED 27 and bulalo at AED 51.
What is bulalo?
Bulalo is a clear beef shank soup with bone marrow, cooked long and slow, served with corn and greens. Ours is AED 51 and is portioned for two people.
What is sinigang?
Sinigang is a sour soup, traditionally soured with tamarind. We serve four: Sinigang na Hipon at AED 47, Sinigang na Bangus at AED 49, Sinigang na Tanigue at AED 51 and Sinigang na Baka at AED 53. Pesang Bangus at AED 45 is the gentle cousin, milkfish in a ginger broth rather than a sour one. Sinigang is the second most named dish in our reviews, behind pancit.
What is halo halo?
Halo halo means mix mix. It is shaved ice layered with sweet beans, jellies, fruit and leche flan, topped with ube and evaporated milk. Ours is AED 29 and it is the reason Google marks this restaurant as good for dessert.
What is a boodle fight?
A boodle fight is a Filipino shared feast. Food is laid out on banana leaves down the middle of the table and everyone eats together with their hands. Ours is a seafood spread served with unlimited rice and iced lemon tea, from AED 71 for one person up to AED 299 for six.
What is pancit?
Pancit is stir fried noodles, traditionally eaten on birthdays for long life. We make bihon with thin rice noodles at AED 25, canton with egg noodles at AED 23, and malabon with thick noodles and seafood at AED 27.
What is a silog?
Silog is a Filipino breakfast set: garlic fried rice, a fried egg and a protein. Tapsilog is cured beef, tocilog is sweet cured pork-free tocino, longsilog is sausage, daingsilog is dried fish. Ours are AED 29 to AED 31 and come with a drink.
Does every dish come with rice?
Every main dish comes with one free rice. Boodle fights come with unlimited rice. Solo meals and silog sets include rice as part of the set.
Do you have vegetarian dishes?
Yes. Stirfry Broccoli with Tofu at AED 43, Tofu Sisig at AED 27, Ginataang Gulay at AED 35, Chopsuey at AED 39 and Tortang Talong at AED 27. Tell us when you order if you need them cooked without fish sauce.
Is the food spicy?
Most Filipino food is savoury and sour rather than chilli hot. Bopis and sisig can carry some heat. Tell us when you order if you want a dish milder or spicier.
How big are the portions?
Portions are large and built for sharing. Bulalo is portioned for two. Customers regularly take food home. If you are ordering for one, the solo meals and silog sets are sized for a single person.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about any allergy when you order and we will tell you what is in the dish and whether the kitchen can avoid it. Please assume shared cooking equipment.
