With 1.6% Filipino people living in Mount Isa (according to
2016 census), it is no surprise that Mount Isa has their very own Filipino Takeaway Shop.
Filipino Takeaway Shop is located in shop 6/22 Miles Street in the middle of Mount Isa CBD. They open during weekdays from 10am to 2pm for brunch and lunch then dinner from 5pm to 9pm. Since its location is amongst offices and other shops, Filipino Takeaway Shop caters for takeaway lunch. You can also dine-in, as some seating areas are provided inside the shop.
As you step inside the shop, the bright yellow painted wall welcomes you, as well as the smile of a lady behind the counter of course! They have a printed menu over the counter and provide a special menu of the day written on the blackboard. The lady behind the counter suggested for me to join their
Facebook page as they will update their special menu there.
That day I tried "Giniling". It's ground pork in tomato sauce with quail eggs and comes with white rice. The serving was generous with a lot of spices. The price was really reasonable as well.
The only thing is there are not many parking spaces in front of the shop. You have to share the parking spots with two other shops beside the Filipino Takeaway Shop. But if you don't mind to walk a little, there are plenty of parking spots around. For your convenience, you can contact them on telephone number 0421 807 216 for pre-order a day before.
