Asian Restaurant in the Heart of Medieval Village
"There is more than meets the eye."
Last month we visited the medieval village of Dunster. It was cloudy at that time and my photo cannot justify the beauty of that street alone. I can tell you that just standing there can take you back in time.
We are enjoying our walk and it gets more exciting as when we are walking down the village my husband saw the Philippines Flag outside one of the shops.
The place is called "Born Appetite" where you can enjoy a traditional tea room and offer delicious Asian meals.
My husband was so delighted that he can only think of "tocino". Funny enough he rushed to get inside and looked forward to having Filipino food. It's as if I don't cook such. But I understand, that we never had any Filipino food for a week at that time so we are craving authentic rice.
Here's the menu:
We didn't have much time to eat at that time and tocino should be prepared overnight at least so we put our order for the next day. I'm very happy to meet my kabayan here. Ate Mia, the Filipina owner said she can make tocino for my husband. She's a lovely woman and very accomodating.
The next day I'm so excited. After a long walk in the castle while my husband is nowhere to be found. We eat at Born Appetite without him. I'm starving and so are the kids.
Ate Mia said she cooked Bulalo for us and tocino then I also ordered Pansit for Tia.
Bulalo
Taste like home! Don't ask me where is the rice for we had two.
Sabaw pa lang, grabe ansarap!
Pansit
And Tia loves her pansit. It only looks like a small serving but we have to share this with the three of us and still have some leftovers.
The pork is so crispy! High blood is waving.
Tocino
Jigz had tocino and rice not just one but two. Sweet pork, my husband's favourite. Only he's not here.
It's so good!!! This is authentic Filipino food. We're lucky to be here.
The ambience looks good too. Imagine having your tea here with your friends.
They also have wide selections of west country gins. They make their own gin aswell!
You can also browse their craft shop. There are plenty to choose from. Many souvenir items.
This is an all-in-one shop. And it's definitely more than meets the eye as it reaches into my belly too! Haha. Oh, I'm a happy Momma. And my husband came after. And had his tocino. Oh, he loves it! But you know that he need to order chips with it lol.
Do you want to see the bill? Charaan!
It's worth it.
Thank you for reading.
