    It was such a great experience! I went with a friend before catching my flight back home, and it was such a great culmination of the Melbourne experience. I am Filipino, and the innovation of creating the dishes was very impressive. They stayed true to the flavors, but the execution was unlike anything I had experienced before. It just makes my little filo heart so proud of this place. I would definitely go back on my next trip to Narrm!
