Located along Valero St. in Salcedo Village, this restaurant used to be known as Aposento a couple of years back, and after some remodeling (the new concept is quite hip and mod), the new owners decided to call the restaurant Commons. The food is mainly Filipino and the restaurant is always full weekdays during lunch time, and I understand that at night, the loud music and TV programs almost turn the place into a sports bar.
We had a sumptuous seafood meal, starting with bangus sinigang, which was soured just right for my taste. The prawns in crab fat was a cholesterol magnet, but we had so much fun with it that it didn't seem devilish at all. The grilled squid came in hot and was pretty tasty; their mussels with sweet chili sauce made me think it was a Thai dish. For our fish staples, we had crispy hito--really crunchy and seasoned just right--and in true Pampagueno fashion, this catfish came with a side dish of buro (fermented rice). Still not contented, we also got and order of steamed fish fillet. After drinks and dessert, our bill came to around P700 per head.
