"Housed in a colonial-era hall with ceiling fans whirring overhead, Samy’s is an institution that’s been serving superb banana- leaf meals for decades."

"This is a boisterous, eat-with-your-hands kind of place, and people from all walks of life stream in throughout the day." Full review

Order the signature fish head curry, some tangy calamansi juice, and whatever else catches your eye - just remember to bring some wet wipes.
