Giligan's - Manila

Great food. Reliable. With all the Dept. The food just came and we couldn't finish it.

Giligans has redesigned their interior to look like a ship that is much better than the normal Resto look before. This is a great place to eat Filipino food, especially if you are in large groups. It tastes mostly pig pigs. We have the sinus sa miso na bangus and the pig inihaw. The price is also acceptable. However, I think they lack waiters because I can only see 1 or 2 running around and it really slows down the entire service. Even getting the bill took so long.

Ambiance: I miss the old look, but today's Giligans looks more relaxed, welcoming and less gloomy. Food: Boneless Chicken Teriyaki had mild sweet sauce, delicate meat and a fair serving size with iced tea. Grilled Tuna Belly is now one of my new favorites! Fish was really tender and delicious with and without toyomansi. Kare-kareng Gulay was usually very good, especially with Bagoong (shrimp paste). Melonen Shake was good, but I wish they served more. Nachos was like that. Sizzling Beef in Sinigang Gravy was fascinating enough to try, but I couldn't taste anything Saures. The texture of the meat was good. Sizzling Tofu was my second favorite and lucky enough, we had more than one order! It was sweet, creamy and funny to chew. Service: We went in since nobody approached us outside.

The food is great and cheap. Although I prefer the old ambience, the new is much cleaner. The kitchen looked much better. The only problem is consistency. If they are busy and packed, the food does not taste so good if it is not. Especially the sisig.

Nice ambiance! Great place to chill and eat with people. As expected to Gilligan's, their food was delicious. Staffs assist the customer as soon as they came in. Need to wait for few minutes for the food to arrive. Sadly, sakto meals (59-79 pesos) weren't available.
