Our latest food adventure took us in the middle of busy Aguirre St., a few blocks away from Little Quiapo, where we found a small place called Bamba Bistro. The bistro is just a 20 - 25 seater, its a house converted into a restaurant, where the place is a cozy little nook with vintage frames, a framed writeup of the chef, and a rather amusing rest room.
The sign outside says "Not your average bistro by the Corner" and we agree.
The entrees at the simple menu packs a punch and is worth trying and re-ordering.
The concept behind it is simple, they take the simplest food entrees and turn it into spectacular and crave-worthy feasts. Others may find it pricey, but taste-wise it's divinely delicious.

| The Menu |
French Onion Soup Php 180
The soup is hearty and cheesy, generous with slivers of onion its like having melted cheese on top of the caramelized onion, its sweet nectar ready to imbibe your taste buds with a flavor bomb. Eat with caution, served extremely hot.
Patatas fritas Php 295
Fiery, passionate, these are fried potatoes with an edgier side.
With garlic aoili, chorizo and topped with egg and paprika
The appetizer is a meal in itself.
Tapa de Manila Php 625
Everything you know about tapa is thrown out of the window with the Tapa De Manila
The tapa is almost bistek like, marinated with sweet, succulent juices, it is tender and overflowing with flavor. This comes packed with lots of garlic rice and creamy eggs.
Good to share.
There's just too much interesting stuff in Bamba and I will come back to do a detailed review. The place is super small but service is top-notch and the food is superb. Try coming on weekdays, the queue might be shorter. Price is not cheap but servings are to share.
55 Aguirre Avenue, BF Homes, Paranaque City
There's parking in front
Resto can't accommodate a lot of people
Spend about 800 - 900 for two
(Worth every penny)
