From the A La Carte Menu
Binalot Na Cochi - This appetizer consists of shredded meat of cochinillo (roast suckling pig) mixed with papaya atsara (pickled papaya), jalapeño, red onion, served on a bed of crisp butterhead lettuce, and topped with pork adobo flakes. This dish comes with pork liver salsa on the side.
Lumpia Dinagat - This open-faced spring roll with a salad of lobster and crab meat mixed with lettuce and kalamansi aioli, topped with red chili floss and cristal malunggay chips. This dish is served with a very addictive aligue (crab fat) dip.
Haliya Adobo - A signature dish of the restaurant, this classic Filipino dish features twice-cooked chicken in a thick and flavor-rich adobo glaze made extra special with foie gras, grilled pineapple, shallot confit, baby bok choy, marble potatoes, and golden crispy garlic chips. This is good for three to four persons and goes well with steamed jasmine rice.
Kare Kare - A Filipino dish reserved for special occasions is further elevated by Haliya by using U.S. Angus Beef Brisket that has been slow-cooked for 24-hours. It is served with asparagus, baby bokchoy, crispy fried eggplant, in a kare kare broth made rich with crushed roasted peanuts. Kare Kare isn't complete without bagoong alamang (shrimp paste).
Crispy Pata - A staple in many Filipino celebrations, this deep-fried pork hock has tender meat and ultra crispy skin. Haliya serves this dish off the bone with a trio of dipping sauce: homemade liver sauce, spiced soy-vinegar, and garlic-coriander salsa. Pickled vegetables and squash blossom tempura are served on the side.
Mangga Suman - Suman is a traditional Filipino snack that can also be served as dessert in a Filipino meal. Haliya's mangga suman is made of glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and stuffed with sweet ripe mango. It is served with fresh ripe mango and coconut cream on the side.
Muron - This rice cake is a specialty of Samar and Leyte provinces of the Philippines and it is made of ground glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and sugar, and stuffed with chocolate. Haliya's version is topped with candied cashew and served with dulce de leche dip on the side.
Chichingka - A cross between a bibingka and a cheesecake, this baked rice cake is traditionally served during the Christmas season will definitely a festive vibe to every Filipino meal. The chichingka is made with cheese, salted egg, and coconut. It has the distinctive aroma of the toasted banana leaves, the umami of the salted egg, and the richness and texture of a cheesecake.
Pastillas Trio - Every meal at Haliya is concluded by this complimentary dessert of pastillas (milk candies) in classic, mango, and ube flavors.
Haliya also features a selection of premium wines, liquors, cocktails, and mocktails. We tried the Feed Me Pancake mocktail which is made with maple syrup, peach puree, lime, cranberry, apple, watermelon. Its sweet and tart taste cleanses the palate and was very refreshing.
