Looking for Filipino Local Delights places?

Completing our “putok batok” meal is this deep-fried ruffled pork fat, served with chili vinegar

Never tried eating chicharon bulaklak back home cos of its unappetizing look. Never looked back after trying once 😂

Consume with caution though - very high in cholesterol

With a minimum of 2 diners, you can avail their weekend boodle fight special which serves you a platter with the following:
- Chicken Inasal
- Liempo Inasal
- Bbq Isaw
- Pork Bbq
- Pansit Canton
- Jasmine Rice
- Steamed Vegetables
- Salted Egg
(shown in photo is for 3 pax)

Yes, apt to its name, this is all meat 😅 you can opt for seafood or snack-ish set

Enjoyed the pork intestine bbq the most - crisp and cooked well. Pork bbq and liempo inasal has similar sweet & charred flavour profile, slightly heavy and filling. The chicken inasal is not bad as well, prolly the “healthiest” meat on the dish. Steamed veggies (okra, eggplant and sweet potato leaves) could be better, best paired with bagoong (sauteed shrimp paste) and salted egg

Not the best Filipino food here, but enough to fix our cravings

We opted for refillable drinks as well for additional $5++ per head

Very tender lechon

Konyo is specially curated Filipino cuisines, located at Cuppage Terrace.
We ordered a few dishes to share.
Feature :
💕Sisig Manileno with Egg
💰$20
💰Chicken Inasal (whole)
💰$32
💕Liempo Inasal
💰$16
💕Tilapia with Ensalada Espeyal
💰$32

Overall the food hit and miss, the Inasal items are good, grill to char at outer layer while inside remain juicy and tender.
For the tilapia, it’s fried till very crispy.
Not a fan of the sisig, coz quite salty so we have to pair it with garlic rice.

This was overly sour for us, and there were some prawns within, and reminded us a little of tomyum, but not really for me.

This was good tho! Ngl it looks like spring roll but the fillings inside reminded of McNuggets 🌚.

This came sizzling hot, altho I'm not sure if good ones are supposed to be crispy (?). Slightly salty, but just right when paired with rice.

Have you tried Filipino food before?! I q enjoy Filipino food, altho it's not easy to find good ones in Sg.

Chopped Lechon (½kg - $23.50)
This was better than the one we had at Don Lechon, with the meat being much softer, and slightly oilier/ juicier. The skin could still be crispier tho, as the thick skin was slightly hard and difficult to bite at parts.

Small and unassuming joint at the corner of Novena Regency, I had my first taste of Filipino food here and boy oh boy did I enjoy every bite. We had the Chopped Lechon w/ rice and the Sizzling Lechon Sisig (both $10 each) - the Lechon was tender and meaty, reminiscent of the local Shao Rou, and I enjoyed every crunch of the skin and every glistening morsel of fat, made even better by the accompanying sauce. The Sisig, made from chopped Lechon offcuts mixed with a medley of chopped veges, topped with a runny egg, and brought together by an oily, sumptuous sauce, left me gasping for air - unsure if I was just taking a breather between shovelling mouthfuls of Sisig into my mouth or my arteries were immediately starting to clog from the grease (in a good way, of course). This meal brought me sheer joy and I can't wait to explore more of Filipino cuisine

LWe were served with this big-ass bone marrow which will surely make you worry about your cholesterol 😅 I would have preferred to have the corn and bok choy separated as it toned down the taste of the broth. Nonetheless, a good alt if craving for this Filipino soup dish

✨ Dinakdakan
Charred and chopped pork tossed in calamansi and chili peppers. This dish is usually a side to an ice cold beer back home, but having it as an app/main is fine as well 😋 El Mesa’s version is quite decent but serving is a bit small

✨ Isaw
Usually cooked by grilling, but El Mesa’s marinated pork intestines were deep fried. Totally not expecting too much because of this difference, but each bite is actually nice but very sinful - high cholesterol 😂
