So far M.'s most popular dish is beef tapa. It is so much in demand that people come in to buy and take out lots of it.

M.'s beef tapa is traditional, Tagalog beef tapa, the kind I used to eat when I was a little boy in San Fernando, Pampanga. It is salty, like Australian pepper steak. It is not the common, contemporary notion of what tapa is today--a sweet bastardization that occurred when teriyaki was first introduced in the Philippines.
