I’m from Florida and was looking for a place to eat Filipino dish. Found Mely’s Kainan and met Ate Maria. She was gracious, served some really outstanding food, and very welcoming. We had some great conversations and truly enjoyed our visit. Thank you soooo much. Food was so tasty and delicious.

Cute small takeaway spot! I stopped by on a whim and got the leche flan, fruit salad, and lumpias. They were all so good, but the flan was especially amazing. It's a huge portion of flan and super rich, probably one of the best flans I've had. I'll definitely be stopping by again to try out more desserts and meal items.

This little takeout counter is an absolute diamond in the rough. Some of the tastiest food I've eaten for miles. We got pork belly and stewed beef and an incredible sapin-sapin for incredibly cheap considering we walked out with PINTS of each. Don't sleep on this place, and pay attention when you're driving up because it's an unassuming storefront with great, great food waiting for you.

A foodie’s find of authentic home-cooking Filipino takeaway😎. Yes, it’s a TAKEAWAY counter, really NOT a sit-in eatery as there’s only a single high table🫤. It’s an unassuming no-frills takeaway, best at opening hour when the food is coming of the stovetop. Large portions, reasonably priced by 16- or 32-oz sizes. Very short menu plastered on wall. Apparently, it changes based on availability of produce/meats. I am partial to the yummy exotic Dinuguan (Blood Stew of pork), and the Caldereta (Pork Casserole in tomato sauce). Both made with lean cuts of pork and have contrasting flavor/texture🤩🤩🤩. There’s the Vegetable Stew in coconut milk, very rich BUT too heavy, and surprisingly seasoned wiith slivers of crispy pork belly (not for my palate however 🫤). Service is very good. The owner/cook is also the cashier ( what a spritely lady👏👏👏). It’s really a very small place that food is better taken away to one’s own private enjoyment. I’m NOT a fan of plastic takeaway containers and eating flatware, albeit they kindly provide aluminum plates for picnics.
