I was visiting my friend who lives in Philly, and she knew I've been looking for a Filipino restaurant. She made reservations for us, and it did not disappoint. Chef Lou made us a wonderful meal! We ordered the pancit with razor clams, sinagang, which is served with a bone marrow, jasmine rice with garlic scapes, Ginataag Hipon, which is prawns with acorn squash, sweet peppers, in a coconut-lemon grass broth, and the pork belly adobo. It's not your traditional Filipino food, but so delicious! We also tried some of the desserts. The ube mousse with mirengue was so good! I would like to come on a Sunday to try the family style, traditional Filipino dinner. Linda was our server, and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be going to Perla again next time I visit Philly. Masarap!
Absolutely amazing. The food was prepared perfectly. Someone needs to send Gordon Ramsey to this place. Elegant atmosphere and extremely intimate. You can watch the chef prepare and plate your meal. Absolutely loved it. Get the bone marrow rice!!!!
I almost had a food coma...food so good it brings back memory of my childhood when my family go out in a resort and share food on banana leaf. Pampano fish was cooked perfectly crunchy that even the fish head is gone. My son said that the fried rice is the best combine with the pork belly and chicken inasal...Yummm, it was all worth it...As soon as we arrive home I'm so full I passed out....he he he.
