But we do now have a place to get Philippine food: Philam Gourmet, in the Broadmoor Shopping Center space that originally housed Hunan and which for years has been a revolving door for middling-at-best buffets.
The “Phil” part of the name cleverly incorporates not only “Philippines” but also “Philadelphia,” from whence the folks that run the place have moved.
The “Am” expresses a planned menu expansion to include more American dishes, which now consist only of the restaurant’s Famous Philadelphia Cheese Steak ($7.99), in the style of Jim’s on Philadelphia’s South Street. It’s close enough that it earned the approval of a former Philadelphian — thin-shaved steak and grilled onions on a hoagie roll lined with American cheese; none of this bell pepper nonsense, but purists will have to be careful that the kitchen doesn’t slip you any mayonnaise or pickles. It comes with a large pile of near-perfect unsalted fries, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.
