Pegasus Pinoy Restaurant

Ambiance: Considering the fact that I spent most of my time waiting in the car listening to Palin and Biden try to out «middle-​class» one another with hokie tales (I believe Palin was saying something about her brother’s kindergarten class needing a «shout-​out» from her for extra credit) I didn’t really get too great an idea.
I decided to takeout which wasn’t a difficult decision. Nobody was inside and those who work there were tuned into Pinoy television which was presumably being fed in via satelite.
Pegasus doesn’t try to pretend to be what it is not which I was impressed with. It seems to me that this eatery is a spot for local Pinoys (many of whom are in the boating industry) to congregate, share a meal and their culture together. In that sense it was kinda neat.
Food: I ordered the shrimp pancit. I was trying to ease the withdrawal of having eaten seven or eight plates of it at my girlfriend’s last weekend but this stuff wasn’t as good.
Having said that, it was still quite good. The portion size was ample and the shrimp and noodles very tasty. Generally I think that it is a much better alterative to that brick of grease and MSG that comes out of a take-​out container (some people call it Chinese food). It is crisper; cleaner; lighter and doesn’t leave you feeling like you just had a glass of flavored salt water.
Price: Less than $ 10 for a quart of shrimp pancit is not bad at all. (Although I must admit I have no basis for comparison).
Leftovers: Yea just finished eating them for lunch.
Service: The people there were very friendly and accomodating.
How to Get There: Federal Highway to the 17^th Street Causeway. Head East. **Directly across the street from Embassy Suites in a strip mall on the North Side of the Causeway. Look for a dimly lit eatery on the east side of the mall.
From the East, take A1A to the 17^th Street Causeway and head West, see ** above.
Business Review: Not really a place for business unless you are catching up on the day’s catch or the ins and outs of the local boating community.
Tip: Get food that has a lot of vegetables. They are fresh and filling and and it helps make you feel better about all the carbs you are consuming.
