Filipino Favorite Hits a Milestone
Congratulations to Filipino eatery Island Central. Located in the Heights, they recently celebrated a one-year anniversary of bringing vibrant flavors and a community spirit to Central Avenue. Whether or not you are familiar with Filipino cuisine and culture, you will feel completely at home in this warm and welcoming restaurant.
As for the food, it is delicious. Favorite dishes include their savory Chicken Adobo, perfectly seasoned and tender, and the crispily addictive Lumpiang Shanghai – Filipino style Spring Roll wrapped in thin pastry and then deep fried with the filling of your choice – chicken, beef, pork or veg. The Pancit is another go-to, packed with fresh vegetables and savory noodles. Savory sides include the delicious garlic rice. On the sweet side, the Halo-Halo is a scrumptious concoction of shaved ice, milk and an assortment of sweet ingredients including sweetened beans, tapioca, and jellies. Make sure to visit them on Central Ave and see why they’ve become such a beloved neighborhood gem.
