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.

KKB Eatery Tapsilog in Lipa

KKB Eatery Tapsilog (Tapa + Sinangag + Itlog)

I have been eating this tapsilog ever since I can remember. If I'm not mistaken, this may have been the very first tapsilog that I tasted in my life, Before, we eat at KKB whenever someone gets admitted since it's just across the hospital where I was born (nope, this is not what they put in my formula bottle, LMAO).

Going back, I have so many fond memories at this place and the food as well. Although they have transferred for the third time (in my count), my feet always take me back to this bucolic yet tasteful place. This is the only local eatery in its caliber with notable paintings on its wall.

I've been talking about the place and not enough about the food. All I can say is that Tapa King may come and go - but I'll still go back to KKB Tapsilog as long as it's dutch. Get it? LOL.

KKB Eatery Grilled Spare Ribs in Lipa

KKB Eatery Grilled Spare Ribs

I've been to KKB about 3 to 4 times for the last 2 weeks and found myself ordering the same thing - Grilled Spare Ribs. The meat is served on a hot plate with their infamous garlic fried rice. You can also opt to order sunny side up eggs for that extra energy - not that we needed one. LOL.
The ribs are cooked well done with a special barbeque sauce. It's somewhat sweet and spiced lightly enough that it is not overempowering. For me, I like it a bit on the hot side and red pepper sauce is readily available on their condiments table. I remember eating this when I was younger with Knorr seasoning mixed with the hot sauce. However, the last time I went there, they no longer offer this condiment which is not really a big deal to me. Hey, we gotta cut the sodium anyway.
I recommend this meal when you're super hungry or looking for comfort food. Or better yet, share it.
