    This was our first time at Serai having heard really good things about this restaurant. As someone who doesn’t eat pork, I was initially a little apprehensive about how this could be managed given pork’s ubiquity in Filipino cuisine - fear not! Wonderful seafood and veg dishes and interesting pork numbers for my two pork-eating friends. Great service too, with an extensive wine list for all tastes and most budgets. I’ll be back :)

    Exquisite food in a beautiful setting. Our waitress was attentive and informative. We started with the oysters, croquettes and the stand out were the prawns. My pipi pasta was superb. My friends had the blue eye fish accompanied by char grilled cos lettuce. This was delicious as well. The menu is small but everything is cooked to perfection. The seating area was intimate but there was a lot of noise that took away from the experience slightly. It would have been great to have more on offer for dessert. But overall WOW WOW WOW.
