A friend who is a member of this club brought us here. We had a feast! Pata tim, dim sum, seafood noodles, kare kare, puto bumbong, bibingka and steamed fish. Everything was delicious!

Club Filipino is a sports center located in the heart of Greenhills in San Juan beside the Greenhills Shopping Center. It is the meeting place of many famous personalities with a roster of members belonging to the elite of the Filipino society; The club boasts of various restaurants and function halls the most popular is Kalayaan HaKll where the former President Corazon Aquino took her oath as the First Lady President of the Republic of the Phiippines. My batchnmate in highschool celebrated her birthday that Sunday dinner with a big bash. More than a 100 guests with plated food for dinner.. Dinner was capped by a beautiful program of songs, argentinian dancers,ballroom dancing poems and broadway hits. It was deja vu of an era past the 60's, 70's, 80's. Club Filipino is not only a sports club, restaurants but has emerged as a historical landmark. Paintings adorned its walls that is quite interesting since they depict country scenes and typical Filipino cultural practices.

This restaurant has stood the test of time, serving as the first known meeting place of Spanish mestizos and native aristocracy since 1898. It was a gathering spot for the elite of society to convene, discuss important matters, and even host presidential inaugurations. This restaurant is a popular venue for celebrations and events, including my college breakfast to commemorate our 50th anniversary. It was the perfect location to mark our 50 years of existence as a group united by brotherhood. We enjoyed ourselves, sharing stories and toasting to many more years of friendship and camaraderie.

We had our Christmas party at this restaurant. The pavilion had good air conditioning, delicious food, and a beautiful atmosphere. The meal included beef stew, stir-fried vermicelli noodles, roasted pig, rice, and fruit. It's a fantastic spot for hosting parties.

Had a board meeting, warm and good venue for meeting, only enough size of their functional rooms. I like eating served, all meals are delicious, especially the way they cook lechon and chicharon bulaklak. I also like the crimped rinderschinken. employees are helpful...and immediately participate in our inquiry.
