Kabayan Filipino Fast Food Restaurant in Lucky Plaza

Kabayan signboard
“UCKY” plaza has got good food

First time I tried Filipino cooking – as in, authentic Filipino food, not Singaporean food cooked by Filipino domestic helpers.

Rachel brought Leon and I to this interesting Filipino restaurant called Kabayan Filipino fast food restaurant hidden in a corner in Lucky Plaza on the third floor.

Here’s the exact address: 304 Orchard Rd #03-25 Lucky Plaza

The place is great! There were not many locals sighted there. Also, there were no pesky posters boasting of wins from the millions of overrated local food guides like Yummy King, Makansutra, etc. Hence not yet having to pander to mass appeal.

Leon commented that eating at Kabayan feels like dining in another country. I sort of agree with him too, given that we don’t really understand what’s on the menu, and wasn’t able to communicate too well with the restaurant staff.

As a whole, the food was great (and different) and the price was reasonable. I will definitely visit Kabayan again.

Here are some pictures to share.

  1. rachel always has the best recommendations at Lucky Plaza! i love her recommendation of the Surabaya Ayam Penyat!

  2. Thank you, Melvin. 🙂 Now you know where to go if you are looking for more exotic, yet reasonably-priced food when you’re in Orchard.

    The fried banana (called toron) is totally worth the extra calories, at $1 a piece. You’ll be super lucky if you can get it when it’s piping hot. The banana is not just wrapped in popiah-like skin – it’s also drizzled with a subtle jackfruit-flavoured syrup.

  3. Iam looking for ms.boquiren because i think she is my mother who left me since i m born.I live here in #11Sampaguita St.Ph2 Pacia Complex 1 San Pedro,Laguna.Pls Email me if you know her,thank you very much!
