Ahmad Brothers Cafe (Indian, Pakistani Food)


After 2 unsuccessful attempts of dining at Ahmad Brothers Cafe (coz usually they're closed when I go there), I finally tasted their cooking! And yes, it's worth the wait. I'm a big fan of Indian cuisine coz of the rich unusual flavors that is fused with simple basic ingredients.

Really affordable, or if you find it pricey, it's all worth it -- quality and quantity wise. Don't underestimate the serving coz it's a tummy loader indeed. Plus, they have lots of meat-free dishes.

Here's what we had that left us very happily loaded. I wasn't able to list the price but menu at the end of the post.


The Food

Samosa


Cubed herbed potatoes wrapped with lumpia wrapper (I presume) served with some yogurt dip. Great way to get the palate excited.




Palek Paneer with Nan


Spinach was never this good. This meal goes with rice or nan. Personally, Indian food won't be complete if it ain't nan. We ordered extra nan for Php 20.



Chicken Masala with Nan 

Wasn't able to taste this (coz of the vegetarian challenge) but he said it's flavorful and yummy.



Lassi (salted)

You can get this sweetened or salted, I prefer salted coz it's how I enjoy my yogurt. Another tummy filler.

Pampanga Trip: Bubusuk

Bubusuk is a Kapampangan term for "umuusok" according to my friends. Affordable and yummy. This I think is the reason why the place was packed when we dined here, twice during our stay in Pampanga.

















The Food

I missed to list the prices and take a photo of the menu.

Sisig


If you're in Pampanga, Sisig is the thing! Every joint has their own version. I'm not a fan of this dish but thinking that I'm in its place of origin, better taste every recipe for comparison.  Bubusuk's Sisig has a bit of crunch and sourness. It is served with garlic rice (with margarine). Thinking of all the fat in the meal is scary, but try to ignore it til you finish the plate. Yum!!!  



Beef Pares

It's also served with garlic rice. Nothing really special, typical pares.  



Dinuguan 

All internals. It's a bit sour for me.



Tokwa't Baboy, Lugaw, and Iced Tea

Here's one of their set meals.This is the reason why I got curious of their menu. Iced tea is really delicious, not the typical one. Pork of Tokwa't Baboy is like breaded tocino, soy sauce has a different touch as well. Yummy!!!



The Place

Too many people to move around. Hope to be back for more snaps!
