Skinny Mike's Bar in Manila, Philippines

Pork Sisig

No, this was not a culinary destination that I actively sought out; it was just a bar here in BGC that happened to be showing the F1 race tonight (A1/B1 Fith Avenue Lane A). Fortunately, their menu featured a number of local dishes. I was quite happy with that sisig above, as it was super greasy and savory. I went halfway through it before I realized I was supposed to squeeze the lime on top, and the chili pepper also provided a nice assist. These guys also did some shrimp on a hot plate that I was not expecting to like as much as I did, as it was similarly salty and greasy. And that local ube beer was pretty cool too; it indeed had a bit of a starchy yam taste that was kinda neat.
