La Mesa Grill yet again

Last Monday evening, our son had a debut to go to in Timog (or Morato? I'm eternally confused between the two), so after dropping him off, husband and I proceeded to Trinoma to have dinner at La Mesa Grill.

We chose to go deeper into the resto, a wise choice as the noise level thereat was considerably lower than near the door. We ordered 1/6 of the crispchon with pandan wrap


and the following sauces: Rikki's favorite (hoisin), liver sauce and garlic mayo. We also ordered tinapa rice per the recommendation of our lady server (it's rice with tinapa flakes, salted egg and tomatoes), adobong sugpo sa aligue and cassava cake (one slice for the two of us). Oh yes, we ordered hito flakes salad with green mango and soft drinks. A very satisfying dinner, especially because it was the manager, no less, who chose to wrap our lechon in pandan wrap
and when most of the flesh had been extracted from the pata, he asked if we wanted this cooked in chili sauce at no extra charge. We concurred and brought home the leftover pata. Tender and yummy, even the morning after.
