Yum Yum Tree
After placing our order at Alejo’s lechon, we took a short ride towards Rustan’s Labangon to visit this little hole in the wall inside the establishment.
For a small diner that has very little space, this hub never runs out of customers every hour, likely from the the neighboring BPO center a few steps away.
I found out that they serve meals that are typical pinoy favorites such as batchoy, arroz caldo, pancit palabok.
For starters, we ordered arroz caldo and fresh lumpia, to be followed by binagoongang baboy, caldereta, salpicao, pancit puti and pancit palabok.
We also had additional orders of inihaw na bangus and sisig.
The service was pleasant enough, and the server was polite and let us buy a bottle of water in the supermarket for our consumption while we eat at their space.

Verdict:
A: 2/5
Most of the dishes were salty, as if sprinkled with Knorr seasonings. The sisig had very minimal meat and was served with a big heap of pork rind.
There was no semblance of ambiance, as it just shares a space in Rustan’s.
The pancit puti looks like a weird combination of rice noodles and vegetables with thin slices of chicken meat while the palabok was swimming in sauce.
The bagoong in the bibagoongan screams of food coloring.
