Crispy Tadjang ng Baka at Kawi’s Tavern

December 23, 2009

  

Eating and drinking are the favorite past time of us Filipinos. I see it not as the act itself, but the moment we share with our friends, love ones and those who are special to us. Valuing our priorities leads us to a festive celebration either in large or a simple small one. This is another experience of mine with the Crispy tadjang ng Baka (beef ribs) at Kawi’s Tavern. When my friend knew that I was in Tacloban city, they arrange a simple nightout since the last time we saw each other was 3 year ago. When I grabbed the menu, this thing appealed to me. I asked for it just to try at first to test if they are comparable to the Crispy Tadjang that I tasted. It was indeed very delicious.  It was so delicious that we have to order another dish to compensate our craving for it.

   

Where to Find 

 

The Crispy Tadjang ng Baka of Kawi’s Tavern may be found at Tacloban Coliseum, beside Cancabato Bay, Tacloban City. It was a bar facing the tranquil bay.  This place is not to be missed when you are in the Tacloban. The area around the Tacloban Coliseum has transformed into a place of night out, fun and fine dining. Never miss too the Crispy Tadjang ng Baka of Kawi’s Tavern. It will surely be a hit to and to your friends.

Carlitos Nilagang Baka

March 11, 2009

  

When they say there is a restaurant that is being frequented by taxi drivers, the food must taste good.  The reason is that, these city dwellers know where to have the best of the best when it comes to gastronomic experience.  Carlitos Nilaga house serves this soup dish that is very delicious.  We were able to discover this way back 1999 in Matina, Davao.  We were wondering that why there were plenty of parked taxis at the place.  When we tried their Nilagang Baka, the taste went beyond our expectation. Both taste and price did satisfied us.  They cooked their Nilagang Baka slow through firewood.  You can even ask for extra soup with no extra charge.

   

Where to find

 

Carlito’s has no signage.  The location is along Mc Arthur Highway around 100 meters from GSIS Village main gate, Matina Davao City.  It is very near Metrobank Matina Branch.  As what I mentioned, it is easy to find because there are plenty of taxis parked in front of their restaurant.  They are open 24 hrs a day.  This is a must try and best if you feel sluggish and you need to wake up your veins. A real power food!!!

Nilagang Tadiyang ng Baka

February 22, 2009

    

Another weekend, another Sunday special for another rapsa food. My wife cooked Nilagang Tadiyang ng Baka.  This part of the beef (beef ribs) is excellent when it comes to soup dishes.  I remember then (when I am still a kid) when Sunday comes that there will always be a special dish in the dining table after we attend the Sunday mass and one of which is this dish. Instead of Chinese cabbage, we use Chinese pechay, leeks and potatoes.  This will not be perfect if there is no condiments which I combined, siling labuyo (bird’s eye chilis), calamansi and patis (fish sauce).

 

This is rarely served in restaurant that’s why we decided to make it this Sunday. This was prepared as early as 6:00am and boiled inside our palayok (clay pot) using the traditional coal burner.  The slow cooking process made the meat tender and the bone ribs added flavor to the soup.  Lunch was served around 12:00pm and we all had a fantastic Sunday meal.
