(由 Google 翻译)首先,我对业主在一个感觉像菲律宾美食沙漠的小镇开设一家菲律宾美食店表示赞赏。
尽管大肆宣传,塔南的经历还是令人失望。
此评论基于周四晚上 Tanam 的酒吧菜单。
- 服务 -
由于空间限制,店内只有一张长高桌,感觉很局促。有一对夫妇在我们面前点餐,看来合伙人/调酒师/POS 工作人员同时做了太多事情。我们在另一对夫妇之后排队等了 5 分钟,然后才到达柜台,当时工作人员让我们再等几分钟,她正在处理当前订单的食品和饮料。
对于 2 个人,我们点了 3 种酒吧菜单上的菜品和 2 杯饮料——Sisig(11 美元)配白米饭(3 美元)、姜蒜鸡翅(8 美元)、Canton Pancit(12 美元)、Lamb Talk 鸡尾酒(14 美元)和Ube Sour 鸡尾酒(14 美元)——售价 66 美元。工作人员让我们在外面找一张桌子,食物准备好后她就会把食物端出来。
我们走到外面,在庭院中央挑了几张桌子外的位置,热切地等待着我们的食物。但我们一直在等待。等待。等待。
30分钟后,我们真的很饿,没有水,没有饮料,什么都没有。我走进商店检查饮料,想知道这些饮料是否可以先出来,但我却被问到:“你们坐在哪里?”我指着外面正中间的桌子,工作人员说:“你需要坐在我们的露台上,这样我们就可以为你提供饮料。”很好,很公平。我们选了一张没有被较大的聚会占据的桌子。
10分钟后,工作人员出来了,好心地请我们搬到“Tanam露台”,因为那里是他们可以凭酒牌为我们服务的地方,而且他们是柜台服务,所以他们无法留意外面的情况。 “塔南露台。”再说一遍,完全公平。然而,我不得不指出,有几件事在开始时确实有帮助:1)当工作人员要求我们在外面拿一张桌子时,它确实有助于指定哪些桌子是“Tanam 露台”桌子,哪些桌子是“Tanam 露台”桌子。不是。外面的咖啡桌没有界限,整个庭院看起来都一样,也没有墙壁或线条,所以实际上没有办法理解这条假想的线条的起点和终点。 2)用任何可识别的东西标记表格。那里直接食客。
此时,距离我们点餐已经过去了 40 分钟,我们仍然没有收到任何食物、任何水或任何饮料。
第二次搬家后,工作人员给我们拿来了两杯饮料。 5 分钟后,另一位工作人员(可能是另一位业主)端出了我们的 3 道主菜。不久之后,另一位工作人员好心地拿出水杯和水,以及一些可堆肥的勺子、勺子和餐巾。
由于字符限制,食品评论缩写
- Sisig ($11) 配白米饭 ($3)
份量:在圆形铝罐中,米饭几乎装满了一半,不到盘子的一半。对于 11 美元的柜台服务菜来说,sisig 部分也感觉很小。仅这一盘就连午餐都不够吃。
味道: sisig 的味道是一维的、平淡的。有一些猪肝,切碎的猪耳朵,一些其他拉猪肉类型的瘦肉,还有一些切碎的洋葱。一盘热腾腾的西西格不会出现你所期望的焦糖化现象,除了肝脏的矿物质味和猪肉的清淡风味之外,也没有其他风味。
- 姜蒜翅(8美元)
我们点了姜蒜鸡翅,但收到的是比科拉诺鸡翅。椰奶穿过酱汁,带着一丝鸟辣椒的辣味,但翅膀本身尝起来又干又腻。
- 广式煎饼 ($12)
菜单上将煎饼描述为炒鸡蛋面。它是黄色速食拉面鸡蛋面和酱汁不均匀的米粉的混合物。米粉为主的地方,大概混了10根黄色的鸡蛋面。

To start, I applaud the owners for opening a Filipinx food joint in a town that feels like a Filipinx food desert.
Despite a ton of hype, the experience at Tanam was disappointing.
This review is based on Tanam's bar menu on Thursday nights.
--Service--
Because of the space limitations, the joint feels cramped with a single, long, hightop table inside. There was one couple ordering in front of us, and it appeared that the co-owner/bartender/POS staffer was doing too many things at once. We waited for 5 mins in line after the other couple, before arriving at the counter, when the staffer asked us to wait a few more mins while she wrapped up her current orders of food & drink.
For 2 people, we ordered 3 items off the bar menu and 2 drinks -- the Sisig ($11) with Plain Rice ($3), Ginger Garlic wings ($8), Canton Pancit ($12), Lamb Talk cocktail ($14), and the Ube Sour cocktail ($14) -- for a staggering $66. The staffer asked us to grab a table outside, and she would bring out the food when it was ready.
We headed outside, picking a spot a few tables away, in the middle of the courtyard, eagerly awaiting our food. But we kept waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
30 mins in, we were really hungry, with no water, no drinks, nothing. I headed into the shop to check in on the drinks, wondering if those could come out first, to be met with the question, "where are you guys sitting?" I pointed outside, to the table smack in the middle of everything, and the staffer said, "you'll need to sit on our patio so we can serve you the drinks." Fine, fair enough. We pick a table that was not occupied by one of the larger parties.
10 mins later, the staffer comes out, and kindly asks us to move to the "Tanam patio" because that's where they can serve us with their liquor license, and that they are counter service so they can't keep an eye out beyond the "Tanam patio." Again, totally fair. However, I had to point out that a few things would have really helped at the get go: 1) When the staffer asked us to grab a table outside, it would have really helped to specify which tables were "Tanam patio" tables and which were not. There's no demarcation of the cafe tables outside, they all look the same throughout the courtyard, and there are no walls or lines, so there's literally no way to understand where this imaginary line begins and ends. 2) Mark the tables with literally anything identifiable. Direct diners there.
At this point, it had been 40 mins since we ordered, and we still had not received any food, any water, or any drinks.
Upon relocating the 2nd time, the staffer brought out our two drinks. 5 mins later, another staffer, probably the other co-owner, brought out our 3 entrees. Soon after another staffer kindly brought out water glasses and water, and some compostable sporks, spoons, and napkins.
Abbreviated Food Review due to character limits
- Sisig ($11) with Plain Rice ($3)
Portions: In a round aluminum tin, the rice was barely half filled and less than half of the plate. The sisig portion also felt small for an $11 counter service dish. This plate alone would not have been enough even for lunch.
Flavor: The sisig tasted one-dimensional & dull. There was some pork liver, chopped pig ears, some other pulled pork type lean meat, and some pieces of chopped onion. There's no caramelization you'd expect from a sizzling hot plate of sisig, and no flavor development beyond the minerality of the liver and the bland flavor of the pork meat.
- Ginger Garlic wings ($8)
We ordered the Ginger Garlic wings, but instead received the Bicolano wings instead. The coconut milk came through the sauce with the slightest hint of heat from the bird chilies, but the wings themselves tasted dry and tired.
- Canton Pancit ($12)
The menu described the pancit as stir fried egg noodles. It was a MIX of yellow-instant ramen-tasting egg noodles and blobs of rice noodles with uneven saucing. There were probably 10 strands of yellow egg noodles mixed in what was mostly rice noodles.
