“Walking into Kainan Sa Laguna was like visiting an auntie’s house for a home cooked meal. Unpretentious, relaxed, with Filipino soap operas playing on the TV.For the savory items, I got pinakbet, menudo, diniguan, and lumpia Shanghai. Everything was pretty tasty, albeit slightly on the oily side. The lumpia was fresh out of the fryer when I got them, crisp with a well-seasoned filling.The real star of my meal, however, was the “sweet” part—the puto. This isn’t your typical cake flour puto. Theirs is made the old school way with rice flour. The (I assume) owner says it’s a three day process, which involves her grinding the rice by hand. You can really tell by the texture of it. It’s fluffy in an imperfectly perfect kind of way and slightly sticky/chewy with a kiss of sweetness. It was really a delightful experience.I’ll definitely come back when I’m looking for a comforting meal to “bring me home.”“
“It’s a nice and clean restaurant. It wasnt busy when we went there. It’s a family owned restaurant which makes it special. We had the halo halo desert, it was ok and its not my favorite but I’m glad we gave this restaurant a chance. The owners were very nice.“
“Marie’s Kitchen has the best authentic filipino food. My son and I LOVEEEE the Ube Pancakes they are amazinggg.. Matter of fact this place is the ONLY spot for Ube pancakes in the Dallas Metroplex!!! This family owned small kitchen is a must visit for some authentic comfort food. By the way it’s located in an office building on the 1st floor but on Sundays you have to go in the side door. Look for 11910 Brown building.“
“Go here. Seriously. It's so good. In this picture, I have the pork stew (absolutely amazing, full of flavor, hearty) and another spicy bicol which was a pork with coconut milk and peppers, it has a little kick but it's not crazy hot, this also has some nice fatty meat and good flavor. And a sour soup, which was also really good.My friend got the squid which has an amazing lemon grass flavor, something that looked like roasted chicken (this was my second favorite, pork stew was my first) and some fried pork belly which had a nice amount of char flavor ?The cashier was so kind! They let us have samples of the food so we were able to get what we liked, and when we said we weren't able to eat rice, they even let me have some sour soup to make up the price difference10/10 will be back. Also this meal was only $11“
“Came in for taho but they didn't have during that day I came in so I ordered the mango sago since it was new on the menu. It was so good. They had fresh mangoes, mango jelly and mango popping boba. Kinda like a mango milk tea. Might have to come back to try other things on the menu.“
