Looking for Filipino Local Delights places?

The lechon is good - crispy skin and moist meat. Service is poor - slow at delivering asked items and with a grumpy face. Prices are high for the quality of the premises.

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

Supposedly what made them famous. I'm not sure. These were very average. It felt like one of those foreign restaurant chains that did okay for being basic.

Basically Filipinos frying Chinese noodles. Don't. Let the Chinese do it. It's worse than the fried noodles you get at buffet catering. So salty too.

Very tender lechon

Lechon Sisig is lechon chopped into small pieces and stir-fried in butter, onions, and green chilli, served on a sizzling plate. $12 (drinks sold separately).

Still a milkfish lover, and more so if it’s deboned (never loved those teeny tiny bones 🥲) - thus this dish. Marinated in vinegar with hints of pepper and salt, the fish was fried nicely and not oily

This fried dish can easily be achieved at home. Buuuuut where can I have my milkfish deboned here in SG, let me knoooow 😂

Finely chopped grilled pork dish with a good amount of pork chicharon on top. Drizzled mayo could, yet again, raise eyebrows, but it added creaminess to the dish. Few bites from this sinful sisig fixed our really random Filipino food craving lol

Don’t forget your cup(s) of rice to pair this with, else too jelak

Returned again to Don Lechon, my favourite Lechon store in SG.

Always wanted to try the Lechon Sisig, but scared it will be too much for me.

Served in a hot plate, with chopped bits of lechon with chillies, lime, egg, onions etc etc.

The first few mouthful were very good.

But started to get a bit too greased out for me and was struggling to finish this.

Best to eat in a group to share.

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.

Customer service is definitely 💯! Back to the food, Konyo served modern Filipino cuisine such as the crispy Tilapia with Ensalada Espesyal that comes with boiled okra, fried eggplant and blanched sweet potato leaf by the side. There is also the Sisig Manileño, which comes in a sizzling hot plate with chopped pig parts and chicken livers in a spicy sour dressing. Best to pair with some rice as the sisig can get too savoury after a few bites. Off the grill, there are the marinated bbq pork and chicken inasal which we all agreed it’s a great sharing platter if you are there with a group.
