7:30 dinner at DT. I actually wanted to go to Cafe De Cebu but majority rules- they wanted DT. \n\nAfter reading the bad reviews I was wary of trying this place. I actually came in here with a bad mood. Like those snickers commercials-- I'm not myself when I'm hungry. \n\nAs I was walking in I read Pho--in neon lights--above of the door... Great... This isn't going to be authentic Pinoy food....\n\nService is cool, not attentive though. The whole time they didn't check up on us. We had some beverages that needed to be refilled and my calamansi juice was running low. However the servers do come when called. \n\nWe ordered the crispy pata, bicol express, tortang talong, and bbq chicken. \n\nCrispy pata was nice and crispy, pretty good (ask for mang tomas) and they gave a lot of it. \n\nBicol express had some Thai influence (was told the owner is Thai) bc it looked like and taste a little like spicy pan ang-- just with seafood. It wasn't bad, surprisingly it tasted good. \n\nTortang talong was freshly made and with the stir fried bagoong-- pretty good. \n\nOkay so far 3 for 3. \n\nUntil the BBQ chicken. That shiiet was hella dry.... Probably sitting under the heat lamp since lunch time. So I'll knock off a star for that move.... Don't serve food that's been sitting there! Ppl can get sick with that kind of mentality. I read a bad reviews on this place and the guy said he had diarrhea bc of something he ate at this place. Wouldn't be surprised if its bc some cook forgot to put meat back in the walk in/freezer. \n\nAll in all, DT is cool. They give a lot of food; there were 4 of us and we still had leftovers. I'd say it's a little pricey for dinner, especially the dessert... I really wanted turon with ice cream (!!) but for $6 I'll pass... If I feel like having some Pinoy food I might come here, since it's close by my house... but idk, I'm still on the fence about this place.  \n\nLet me try Cafe de Cebu first! I saw on their yelp pic-- turon with ube ice cream for $3.99!
