I’ve been hesitant for the longest time about trying Senor Sisig because, well, I’m faux-Filipino and I eat Filipino food all the time, so how good could it be? The sisig wasn’t my favorite – I like my sisig to have bits of crispiness mixed in with a lemony and oniony hint – but I [...]

Best crispy pata (deep fried pork leg) that I’ve had in a long, long time – at Boracay Garden & Grill in South San Francisco. The way it was fried was perfect. The was very thin and crispy, so it’s even good for people who don’t have many teeth left, with the pork fat still [...]

Now this is some sisig worth talking about! I’ve had sisig in the Philippines where they use the whole head for the dish and sisig all over the Bay Area were it’s typically minced pork, but the one at Sinugba is my new favorite. They use fried pork belly, diced up into pieces, so you [...]

I had my doubts about Hapa SF at first, but after I took that first bite of the lumpia ginger-scallion chicken, I was a believer. It was a little cramp and stuffy inside La Victoria Mexican Bakery and Cafe, but we Asians are used to cramp seating anyway. The minced meat inside was mushier than [...]

One item that I always order at every Filipino restaurant I go to is their pork sisig. I’d have to say that Ongpin over in South San Francsico makes one of the better ones, especially if what you want is more meat and less grease. Actually, the food here seemed less greasier than other places. [...]

I never knew Daly City had a House of Silvanas bakery. I’m used to eating Sans Rival cake, usually from Goldilocks, but I’ve never heard of Silvanas, which is basically a Sans Rival cake in cookie form, until I found out about House of Silvanas. Delightfully crunchy, creamy and delicious! A layer of buttercream sandwiched [...]

I had another enjoyable Filipino meal, this time for dinner at Bagoong Club Resto in Quezon City. They specialize in … you guessed it – bagoong. Anyway, I liked this restaurant. I can’t quite remember everything I ate, especially since I didn’t take many pictures, but this was one of my favorite Filipino restaurants that [...]

Pinky and I went to Robinsons Galleria to walk off our lunch so that we could grab a second lunch. (Yeah, we’re definitely related.) We chose Mangan, a Filipino restaurant. We just ordered four things and no rice because rice is a filler. We had their sisig and their sinigang. Their food is not bad, [...]

Now here’s something I’ve never eaten before: buko pie. It’s a pie filled with young coconut. I’m used to eating coconut cream pie, but never one filled with young coconut meat. We kept passing by Colette’s Buko Pie at Pasalubong all over Tagatay, so finally, we went to one so I could try their pie. [...]

We had a big lunch at Antonio’s Grill in Tagaytay. Not a bad choice to eat, though I’ve had better. Their sizzling bulalo (beef and bone marrow) was good. I also liked their spicy ginisang hipon (shrimps). My favorite, though, was their turron with tikoy. The tikoy offered a nice chewy texture that you usually [...]
