AMBULA....lalala...

During times when we are tired or just plain lazy to cook, take out food is the solution to my broods needs. Luckily for us, restaurants and take out counters are a plenty in our vicinity. After many misses and near hits, my honey and i chanced upon this restaurant which was almost always full during dinner time.Surely they must be doing something good to attract such a number of loyal customers. So one day, we tried it out.

Ambula is a typical pinoy eatery with ready to eat viands ala turo turo style. What sets it apart is that they also offer ala cart  selections. So one has the best of both worlds, in a rush, just point to a viand that you like and your meal is there in a flash. Want your food hot sand freshly cooked? no problem, just order from the many choices in their menu.

One item that has caught me and my honey's fancy is the sinigang na ulo ng salmon. We almost always order this from them. Although both of us are not really fish eaters, we found this perfect when craving for hot soup specially during rainy nights.personally, I found this better than the original ulo ulo at the back of Veterans Hospital and the price is just right for the budget.  We always pair our order of this with their lechon kawali. This sets makes a perfect meal for us.

While waiting for our food, I saw some of the other ala cart choices and I found most of it interesting and worth trying like thier freshly cooked katsudon and other rice toppings. I have also had the chance to order their kare kare and found it ok. Not great but also not so bad. But hey, for 50 bucks you wouldnt expect barrio fiesta. Located along Maginhawa St. in Teachers village, which is slowly becoming a food strip for the neighborhood and UP campus, Ambula satnds out and  provide a no frills value for money dining experience. It is worth coming back to.
