FOODTRIP(149): Goreng Goreng Southeast Asian Kitchen

Sande Temmuz 11, 2021

Looking for a good place to dine in Marikina, I came across Goreng Goreng which is located near my alma mater (St. Scho Marikina) and C&B Mall/Circle Mall (S’Mall). I’ve seen this place a few times last year and been curious to what this restaurant offers.

Goreng Goreng is one-of-its kind restaurant in Marikina which serves Indo-Chinese and Malaysian cuisine. The place is located at Liwasang Kalayaan St., just across the new C&B Mall extension.

They maximize the space as they have an indoor and outdoor dining as well as more tables upstairs. I love that the decors of the place will remind you that Asian feels dining.

Here’s their MENU:

Here’s what we ordered:

Regular Hainanese Chicken (Php99)
“Hainanese chicken (thigh or leg part), served with unlimited Hainan Rice”

- THE BEST HAINANESE CHICKEN ever!!! I’m very picky when it comes to chicken and so I say that their Hainanese chicken PASSED my picky taste buds. Haha Their chicken was cooked was very as the chicken meat was soft and light. They included 3 sauces which is not seen on the photo and it was the best! The shredded garlic or ginger plus the sauce gave a perfect taste for the chicken. Servings were enough for a hungry stomach plus the price was very affordable. We really enjoyed this meal very well.

Nyonnya Laksa (Solo – Php120)

“Egg noodles in creamy coconut curry broth”

- Mild taste laksa which has 2 different noodles in it. The broth was creamy mild which I like. You can chili if you want a spicy one. The solo serving was enough for 2 though I suggest ordering the solo one all for yourself. haha

Kopi Tarik Ais (Php80)

“Malaysian Pulled Coffee”

- HEAVEN!!!! Haha One of the best coffee I’ve tasted. It was mild and creamy and fits my taste. Craving for this as of writing. Haha

Over all, our dining experience at Goreng Goreng is superb. Aside that their foods were affordable, they also exceeded our expectations with the taste. It’s a good place to bring your family and friends. There's still a lot of dishes I want to try so will definitely come back here ! :)
