Turo Turo Food at El Nido Skyline Grill and Restaurant

This is called turo turo food. "Turo turo" in English means "point point". You point at  cooked food on the glass shelves shown above to indicate which of the viands displayed you would like to eat. If you are already hungry and cannot wait for food to be cooked at a regular restaurant, you can safely eat here. Food is always available and ready to serve. The taste is much like a regular Filipino home-cooked meal so we actually enjoyed eating here. 

However, the servings are small. Viand and rice cost 65 pesos. My daughter who doesn't eat a lot ordered 2 viands and rice to fill her appetite. We ended up spending as much as we do when we eat at Squidos. The advantage of eating here is that food is ready-to-eat and will fill your appetite immediately. No need to wait 30 minutes to an hour for food to be cooked. 

LOCATION:

Skyline Grill is located at the corner of Rizal Street and  San Joaquin Street

It is located in the same road as Midtown Bakery

MENU

There's sinigang na hipon, pork adobo, chicken adobo, kaldereta, paksiw na lechon, etc

My tip:

1. Eat here when you're on a budget and wouldn't mind the small food portions.

2. Eat here when you're already hungry and cannot wait for food to be cooked from scratch then served.

3. We liked the pork adobo, chicken adobo, paksiw na lechon. My children didn't like the dinuguan and the kaldereta.
