After having a memorable experience dining at this tourist attraction, I visited Sidlak Point for a top view of the city. I was delighted to find that the business is still ongoing despite the heavy storm (Odette) that recently hit the area. The restaurant is perched high up on a hill and gives a spectacular view of the cityscape that stretches far beyond what I could have imagined. It was such an amazing sight that I wanted to stay there for hours to take in all the beauty.

It was an incredible sight to behold. From my vantage point, I could feel joy and alive. It was a place to visit when you’re feeling down. The best part is you get to enjoy a great meal with some Filipino sweet delicacies.
The Ambiance of Sidlak Point
I appreciated the restaurant’s attention to detail. They have varieties of Filipino cuisine that are delectable. The ambiance was so inviting and relaxing with the backdrop of a calming view of the cityscape. They really had a theme of what would seem like your typical grandmother’s (Lola’s) home but is somewhat modernized.
Of course, the view has to be the special mention since it’s unlike any other view you can get. The restaurant is surrounded by greenery and a vast city skyline as far as the eye could see. You can feel the fresh breeze coming from the mountains and admire the beautiful sunrise or sunset, making it perfect for dates or family outings. I went at around 2 PM to enjoy a heavy meal at this place.
Sidlak Point’s Food Selections
There are two main restaurants that Sidlak Point offers, and they are Humba Heaven and Maharlica. Both offer a wide variety of Filipino dishes with some Western influences. I had the chance to savor the restaurant’s classic Chinese-inspired Humba which was served with sweet soy sauce, it is one of their best sellers in Humba Heaven. It was so flavorful and delicious that it kept me coming back for more!
I also ordered the Sikwate and Puto Maya with a slice of mango were also good. Aside from puto, they also have Budbud which is also good when paired with hot chocolate (Sikwate). The availability of their other Filipino sweet delicacies may vary from time to time. It would be wise to ask the staff as they are just “one” group.

Summary
I have visited this place for the second time and it felt like the first time again. First, I ordered the Pork Belly Pesto on herbed rice and it tasted very good. I loved how the herbed rice complimented the meat. Since it was my sibling’s treat, they also ordered the Puto Set for me and appreciated the free food, the taste, and the view, everything was spectacular!
The second time I visited, I ordered their best seller Humba meal. And after I was done, I really wanted to hang out and chill a bit further, so I decided to get a Puto Set again. Both were delicious and it was a great way to end my visit.
