Spotlight on Susan’s Kitchenette Filipino

At this Filipino restaurant, Virginia Beach visitors and natives alike fill up on delicious authentic fare. Owner Fely T. Galang is a veteran of the food industry, and with that expertise and her love of her homeland’s cuisine, she satisfies her diners’ cravings for Filipino food. Here’s a sampling of some of the dishes you’ll find on the menu:

 

Lumpia

Fried, they’re tightly wrapped egg rolls made with a blend of meat and veggies, and about the size of a half-cigar; fresh lumpia are made with a soft egg roll wrapper and raw veggies, then smothered in a sweet sauce with peanuts.

 

Adobo

For this, the unofficial national dish of the Philippines, families usually have their own special secret recipe. But the basics of the sauce are usually the same: a sweet-salty balance of soy sauce and vinegar, plus chicken or pork.

 

Crispy Pata

Pork knuckle is deep-fried to a crisp and served with a garlicky vinegar sauce.

 

Pancit

Pancit means noodles, and they come in several varieties. Pancit bihon is made with rice stick noodles and fried with veggies and meat; the noodles for pancit palabok are thicker, and they’re topped with an annatto-colored sauce and crumbled pork rinds.
