My flight home was delayed tonight, so I quickly scrambled to see if there was a decent dinner that I could grab near the airport. It turns out that there is an upscale resort area right across the street that is conveniently connected to Terminal 3 by a walkable sheltered bridge. There were some Michelin-listed places available and even a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, but I went for this ornate-looking Filipino place, especially since it was pitched as having a Spanish influence.
I grabbed some sinuglaw, a mixture of grilled pork belly and vinegar-cured tuna, which they served here on rye bread with jellied vinegar. I liked it more than I thought I would, especially since the pork was nice and smoky, while the vinegar was delicate rather than overpowering. I also had that caldereta above, which was a local version featuring beef instead of lamb, and yet was topped with Manchego cheese. It was rather salty and came with disappointingly soggy rice, but it's probably much better than eating at the airport.
