New Hungry

Serve white rice with afritada, a tomato-sauce stew, or sinigang, a sour soup. Diners who have enjoyed New Hungry’s lunch buffet describe just this kind of meal, choosing from both side dishes and soup. One visit featured afritada made with chicken, beef or pork, along with dinuguan, a stew of pork offal, and kaldereta with beef and potatoes. From sweet-and-sour stews with vegetables to dishes rich with meat and offal, there is the pleasure of choosing a little of each to eat with rice. Another diner described having soup, several side dishes and rice. One review noted that the tangy soup went particularly well with the more richly flavoured dishes, and the changing selection can make each visit a little different.

Several reviewers visited for the weekend lunch buffet; one example included pancit, adobo and tinola soup. The selection appears to vary by visit, so check when booking if you have a particular dish in mind. One diner found the spread meat-heavy. It may suit those who want to build a meal around white rice or beer.

Fried bananas and banana spring rolls also made a lasting impression on some diners. After a meal of savoury dishes, these offer a sweet way to finish.
