Bagnet!
Bagnet! Bagnet!
Its Bagnet everywhere! hahahahah. Its funny that the trip to
Vigan, Ilocos Sur always haunts us at home and then my wife got an interest to
go there, so I told her that we should plan a trip this coming summer.
Then one
afternoon before our tour in Lancaster New City Cavite, we saw a tv feature of
Ilocos sur and norte’s local dishes and there my wife saw the bagnet and other
specialty of Northern Luzon, so during the tv show, I told her that I’ve tried
those food and one of my fave is the “puqui puqui” for breakfast. I said to her
that this is the only food with eggplant, egg, and tomato that brings a lot of
joy in me hahahaha
Then after the tour, we have our dinner inside
Lancaster New City Cavite, they have a commercial establishments filled with a
grocery and fast food.
Here
we ate at Stoops Bagnet Ilocos restaurant.
I asked the fast food staff if
this is a local resto, then they told me that they have branches in Manila and
Makati, the one here in Lancaster New City Cavite is the only branch outside
Manila.
wow!!!
We
have Bagnetified resto in SM City Bacoor, but for me, Stoops is very special
because they serve not only bagnet, but also the specialty food from Ilocos
region.
I heard about Sinanglaw as an Ilocos version of a Papaitan, I
haven’t tried that before so I ordered one for my dinner.
I like the
pricing of their meal, is affordable and its just right.
Stoops
Bagnet Ilocos inside Lancaster New City Cavite is small, the resto is always
full during dinner time, so lucky you if ever you spotted a seat for your and
for your companion.
Its crowded inside and we tried to fit 4 of us in one
table.
Here’s
my Bagnet Meal
PHP 110
Im not sure if they cooked it in a traditional
way, or maybe did it with some shortcuts, but the taste is good and its not too
oily or fatty.
No need to dip it in a gravy, an Ilocos Vinegar is a good
partner for a bagnet.
My
seatmate’s Boneless Bangus (PHP 135)
Sinanglaw
(PHP 65)
Its my first time to taste this, it tastes like Papaitan, but
there’s less bitterness compare to the strong bitterness and creamy flavor of a
Papaitan.
Cow’s innards in a Sinanglaw is good too.
Just like a
regular papaitan
Our
partner that night for our meal hahahah
The vinegar in Ilocos is the best!
Looking
at my left view…spotted my blogger friends ready to devour their bagnet meals
hahahahah
Busog!
