in:Kamayan experience at Naks - Did I make a mistake?2 pts
replying to u/Banjojeff: I've been and had the Kamayan. The Kamayan meal at the time did not have many "extreme" items although there was one soup dish with blood and tripe. I will also add this dish was extremely delicious. My experience with NAKS' Kamayan was my best dining experience of 2023. It is the most filling tasting menu I've ever had. I highly reccomend. Go hungry.
“I second this, best tasting menu I had in 2023.”
