Bonifacio - Telok Ayer St., Chinatown

Bonifacio is the name of one of Philippines’ National Heroes. He is different from Jose Rizal as this guy fought for the country using his might and his sword. While Jose Rizal fought using his pen.
This restaurant is the newest “fine” dining place that serves Filipino cuisine.
Tried a few dishes here
Sisig- Consisting of pork cheeks, liver, pork ears, sautéed in onion, garlic, spices then put on a sizzling plate then topped with an egg. 10SGD. Serving size was a bit small for the price. But it was good, a dash of hot sauce help uplift the taste of the dish. A nice dish to be partnered with a cold bottle of beer.
Inihaw na liempo( grilled pork belly)- the meat was tender and the marinate was simple salt and pepper and some lime, but I still prefer “sio bak” with the crispy skin. The skin here, is soggy and I don’t like eating it.
Bistek Tagalog- Beef tenderloin in brown sauce(20SGD)- again the price was a bit steep, the beef was tender though and the sauce is not what Singaporeans are used to. It a combination of sweet, salty with a hint of sourness.
Garlic Fried Rice- Filipino style fried rice that havent got much ingredients but emphasizes the garlic taste. Nice
Overall, the place was great, nice quiet and good place to unwind after a days work.

Jologs - Lucky Plaza , Orchard Road

I like going to Lucky plaza because you can find good foreign food like the famous Ayam Penyet Ria and there are tons of Filipino restaurants here as well
According to my Filipino friends, jolog means something like weird or unorthodox, unordinary..
Rice Meals here ranges from 5 dollars and above. But it comes with bottomless drink like Iced Tea and powdered orange drink. So come to think of it, it is worth it, u eat in a airconditioned area with limitless drinks.
Ordered a Sisig rice- which was said to be chopped pork cheeks with liver and garlic and onions. Served with garlic rice and fried egg. So this is where all the pork cheeks are going to?? Hahaha
I like how it taste. I like the play of textures of the fat, the skin ,the meat It was seasoned very well and the garlic fried rice just complimented it.
