Sunrise Lutong Bahay

You'll find yourself in the Shopping Hall on Market Place, surrounded by the everyday bustle of Romford, and that's exactly where this place belongs. Sunrise Lutong Bahay does Filipino home cooking—the kind that makes sense only if you've had it done right, with rice-based meals that stick with you and flavours that don't apologise for themselves. The kitchen knows what it's doing: adobo that's been properly braised, lumpia that actually has a point, and sides that make you wonder why you haven't eaten here more often. It's unpretentious in the best way—formica tables, straightforward service, prices that won't make you wince.
