Tropical Hut offers authentic Filipino food, turo-turo style. "Turo-turo" is a Tagalog term that roughly translates to "point-point" in English. Instead of ordering from a menu, customers can simply point at the dishes they want, and the food is served to them.
Turo-turo style also means that our menu changes daily.
Below are descriptions of what you may find in our daily steam table or party tray menu.
