When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice.

Carmina's Review on Japchae from King of Kim



Often walking inside Ali Mall Carmina had notice something new seeing there is a Korean food being served at King of Kim.

The first time seeing the place didn't have the time to purchase any food.

Second time entering the Ali Mall decided to bring some food to bring back home.

I was craving for japchae and was told all item on the counter was 10% off.

The person working had asked if I wanted it to be heated up. I said, no need.

Regular price of the japchae is 150.00 pesos ($2.59) since there was a 10% off the total was 135.00 pesos ($2.32).

The japchae was placed inside a paper bag.

Carmina had notice those who love eating ramen can have it made by adding boiling water.

Maybe one day I will bring my friends to hang out and have a full meal of Korean food.

Carmina heated the japchae removing the plastic lid heating in the microwave for one minute.

The japchae was delicious with load of flavor.

Carmina will bring Mom Violy there to try their Korean food at King of Kim.
