Mom Violy had informed us that one of her friends said to try Filipino food at Mesa. The day for our lunch with Mom Violy's best friend who was visiting the Philippines brought to Mesa Restaurant inside Eastwood City. Ninang Lourdes was staying close by Eastwood City Shopping Mall. She hasn't entered inside the shopping mall. Upon entering to the third floor was able to see Mesa Restaurant giving you the menu when seated and the table. Mom Violy had ordered the In Own Ink baby squid, Crispy Pork on the vegetables and Palabok. Ninang Lourdes ordered fresh buko for her drink. Mom Violy's expectation dining inside Mesa wasn't what she had expected on the food. Mom Violy based on her taste buds the food was bland on the palabok wasn't salty enough and the crispy pork pinkabet which she had added fish sauce asking the server. Everyone has different taste buds. Mom Violy had given the food to Sonny who was the one who drove us. Sonny said the Filipino food was good for
- Dinengdeng and laswa came from Ilocos

The difference in Bulanglang is the vegetables are steamed along with patoloa, malunggay, okra, eggplant, amplaya, kalabasa, string beans and tomato.
