Ground beef is a little overdone and the tomato salsa had a weird aftertaste. (but hey, I shouldn't really be complaining since its free)
Pizza La Capre
Crust is tortilla thin and comes out very crispy (but not burnt). And because of the thinness, we taste more of the toppings like the cheese and the shrimps. I purposely left a slice of the pizza on my plate for a good 30 minutes, and while the dish had already gotten cold, the crispiness of the crust is still there and there is no flakey texture from the cheese. (but eventually, the crust will soften up)
Considering Restorante La Capre also doubles as an inuman venue (watering hole), this pizza dish would make a great pulutan. (this was my favorite dish of the evening)
Sizzling Gambas
Shrimps are too small. The garlic was overdone so the dish had a very bitter aftertaste.
Asian Crocodile
Sizzling Crocodile
Both sauces from the two crocodile dish were good with the sizzling version having a bit more heat. Texture of the meat is chewy, much like a properly cooked squid. Taste resembles that of chicken.
Tapang Baboy Damo
I'm assuming that the pig is of the wild kind so I expected the meat to be a bit tougher than those brought in the regular market. In reality it isn't much tough to chew on but I must admit it's not as tender as I would have wanted to be.
The meat is a bit gamey, but the accompanied vinegar dipping sauce does help to lessen the aftertaste.
T-Bone Steak
We asked for medium doneness, it came out well done. The result is a piece of semi dry steak is that is quite tough to chew on. Side veggies are still crispy and seasoned well.
Canton con Lechon
The pansit canton is nothing to crow about, especially with the soggy noodles. I'm pretty sure there are pansiterias in the metropolis that are much much better. The several pieces of lechon kawali are good on its own but as whole doesn't really elevate the noodle dish.

Restorante La Capre is located at Scout Santiago corner Scout Limbaga.
On a personal sidenote:
Ever since my first visit here, I went back several times to try some of the other pizza flavors, and they turn out to be quite good too. I also enjoyed their oysters and their lamb steak.
