As for Haliná, the restaurant is brought to use by the same team behind Bigboy’s Chigs To-Go and opened last year.
“Our vibe is lively and welcoming – where modern palate meets Filipino soul. The energy flows through upbeat music, vibrant gatherings, and flavours that celebrate both tradition and style. Our chef-driven menu reimagines Filipino tastes with bold, refined dishes for every craving. Fresh yet familiar, it’s food that feels like home and keeps you coming back,” wrote Haliná on its website.
On its menu, you can find dishes like Inihaw na Liempo (grilled pork belly, calamansi, cane vinegar, pickled papaya, and Java rice), Pancit Batil Patong (stir-fried egg noodles, ground beef, prawns, crispy liempo, Chinese sausage, crispy chicken skin, topped with vegetables and fried egg with side soup), and Salmon Berry Sinigang (miso and ponzu marinated coho salmon, pearl barley, okra, yu choy, tomato confit, crispy taro root with a blueberry sinigang broth).
