Ultimate Taste Test 5.0: final installment
Auntie May's
They are known for their Imported Beef Tapa. I can only surmise that it was utterly good since all the samples have been wiped out long before I got to their table.

Dulcelin
This was one of the most sought after station of the night. My brother even went for seconds of their Hickory Smoked Pork Belly and Red Rice Salad. I am a big fan of their Red Rice Salad- "A Korean style paella with seared tuna slices, shrimp and shredded lettuce." It's a unique almost strange combination of ingredients. Something that, when I read it off a restaurant menu, I would pass over it right away. I'm sure glad I got to try it because after that, it immediately went straight to the top of my list of food to order from Dulcelin. These are moments for which I thank my lucky stars for attending UTT.
