This is a typical 2 choice plate from Crave Okoy.
Rice and Pancit (noodles) and 2 choices. Its a lot of food, and only $8. And you can chose from any of the ala cart items.
“Pancit” is a staple of any Filipino diet. If you’re from Hawaii, chances are you’ve had, or at least seen pancit. But if you haven’t, its kind of like the filipino version of chow mein.

“Caldareta” is a pork stew made with potatoes, peas, carrots, and bell peppers. Kind of like a cross between Guisantes and Beef Stew (but with pork, of course). Big tender chunks of pork in a tomato based stew, with lots of veggies and potatoes. A really hearty meal to be sure. I could have easily just had this over rice.
The last dish is not for picky eaters, but if you want to try something new, it comes recommended.

“Sisig” is another traditional Filipino dish that many, myself included, are not very familiar with. A sort of savory and sour hash, made with pork head, chicken liver, onion and lemon (or calamansi when in season). It sounds a lot more daunting than it is, and turned out to be pretty darn good.
Im told it makes a great pupu when you’re hanging out, especially with a cold beer. Definitely sounded like a good idea to me.
So whether you’re looking for something new or familiar, Crave Okoy has something for the foodie in you.
