KKB Eatery Tosilog in Lipa City

Growing up, Tocino was my ultimate favorite food. The reddish meat seemed too fun to be true with its juicy texture and sweet aroma. And then... I grew up. Little by little, I came to question why it needed to be too bloody red and I associated it with being very artificial. I'm not saying that I ever stopped eating tocino as it was a difficult habit to break. I still did, here and there. It was still a safety meal that I can order whenever I'm feeling less adventurous. But KKB's tocino is different. You can still recognize the meat as pork while being mighty tasty. It's mildly sweet - just enough to be distinguished as tocino - and a bit chewy too. I complemented it with light vinegar instead of the usual catsup and it was very enjoyable. At some point, you may think of it as a sweet pork version of their tapa especially if there's little familiarity on this pinoy staple. Simply put, KKB's tocino, sinangag, and itlog is a real treat but it's not quite in the same league as KKB's Tapsilog and Grilled Spare Ribs.

Fae Fae Lechon Sisig in Lipa City

Fae fae Lechon Sisig is one of the best sisig I've tasted. Different from the usual sizzling sisig with egg, fae fae lechon sisig is made from roasted pork belly or liempo mixed with mayonnaise and onions - it's crunchy, chewy, and very tasty. You can also choose the spicy variant wherein chopped siling labuyo (bird's eye chili) is added to the mix. Fae Fae Lechon Sisig When I order, I always opt to hold the onions and request just a bit of chili for just the right amount of heat. This is because I'm not really fond of the native variant of onion and although I love spicy food, chewing labuyo - seeds and all - is not really my turf. But that's what's good about fae fae, since they mix the sisig right in front of the customer, you can modify your order. You can even pick your own meat from the grill rack. That way, you are somewhat in control of what you'll take home. Yep, this is only available for take out (the last time I checked). However, I'm not saying that I won't eat this concoction if it wasn't prepared to my specification. In fact, I've tried the normal "order" countless times and surely, seeing onions or a handful of chili is not a deal breaker - as long as it's free. Lol. Price Range: Php120 - Php140 Verdict: great as a rice meal, even better as pulutan Landmark: San Sebastian (Balagbag) Barangay Post Business Hours: noon until 9pm
