I finally tried out a new Filipino restaurant! I’ve only been to a couple around Vancouver including Max’s restaurant and Kumare. Both experiences were a delight so I was excited to have found Kulinarya Filipino Eatery in Coquitlam. Kulinarya Filipino Eatery is located in Coquitlam Square on Glen Drive right across from Coquitlam Centre.
We noticed that the menu from Kulinarya was a bit different than the others we’ve tried before. They focused more on meat and seafood dishes rather than rice and noodles. Both of us were feeling like having seafood so we got the fried milk fish and stuffed squid.
Inihaw na Pusit
I thought this dish was going to come with rice but my bad for not reading the menu correctly. The grilled squid was stuffed with a tomato salsa type mixture that included fresh tomatoes, onions, and lots of lemon juice. I loved this dish! It was fresh and perfect to have on the sunny day. My only thing is I wish that there was more of a grilled flavour to it but otherwise it was fantastic!
Bangsilog
Grayson got the Bangsilog which was a fried milkfish. He never had this type of fish before so he was intrigued. The boneless milk fish was packed full of flavour in every bite. It had a perfect blend of saltiness and sweetness. He loved the “fish sauce” it came with and the gooey egg just tied everything together perfectly.
