Philippines Local Delights

Josephine Restaurant is another highly rated diner for local comfort food. It caters mostly to big groups so families who are in Tagaytay for a short holiday make a point to feast here, especially for their weekend buffets. The view overlooking Taal lake is pretty spectacular at night, I imagine it'd be even more so in the day. Lucky for me, they had a small menu for "solo" portions.
:
Pancit Malabon is a stir-fried noodle dish that originated in Malabon City, Manila. The white rice noodle is like thick beehoon or mee tai mak but harder, and smothered in a yellow-orange sauce made with fish sauce, shrimp or crab. Seafood toppings include shrimp, squid, hard-boiled egg, and bits of yummy crispy lard (yaaaas). The noodle texture was too tough for my liking, like biting through dried cuttlefish snack. The sauce however, though clumpy, was rich with seafood essence, to the extent that some bites taste pretty pungent. Hopefully this isn't representative of the overall standard given that it's #6 of 136 restaurants on TripAdvisor...

Also comes with refillable soup and unlimited rice serving. 🍚🍵🍽🍷🤓❤️ When you crave for pork Sisig with unli soup & rice in the wee hours then head over to I Love Sysig Inasal along Tandang Sora, QC. This order for only php99, not bad for someone who are on a tight budget & a hearty appetite. 🍽🍚🍷🍵👍🏼 ……………………………………………………........

Got this gem at only PhP 520. Loved how the broth seeps thoroughly into the meat. Best paired with lots and lots of rice 😁 totally my fave from Locavore.

Another 👍🏻 from Locavore is their Dinuguang Lechon (PhP 520). Very savoury as well and the dinuguan sauce is sooo nice (I rarely eat dinuguan outside home btw) tho they could add more of it as I find it tad bit dry. The meat is good as expected, crunchy and tasty. A must try! :)

Need some getting use to as you might eat onto some sandy bits. The chili paste might be mixed with some dried fish. Remember to mix all together before eating. It made lots of different. Crispy and refreshing. The more you chewed, the more you will get use to. .

Lechon Set Meal come with iced tea (P120) .

Crispy skin and tender meat. Not trace of any porky smell. The spicy blend completely marinated into the meat which made it so good for white rice. 😱😱😱

Ranked one of the best in Philippine by World Street Food Congress. Strongly seasoned by garlic. The skin stayed crispy even leave open for hours. Must try with their in house chili sauce. The strong acidic sauce balanced with the fatty-ness. .

One downfall was the store was so hidden. Upstairs of a petrol station! Even with google map, it took me awhile to look for the sign. .
