Crispy Tadjang ng Baka at Kawi’s Tavern

Crispy Tadiyang ng Baka

In Butuan City, there is this restaurant that is known for their burgers and a very deep fried crispy tadiyang ng baka ( deep fried beef ribs).  At first, I was a little bit hesitant to taste it because I was thinking that is might be as hard a rubber.  To my surprise, they have prepared it so tender and soft that you can compare it to the texture of baby back ribs. They have tenderized it so well that is was so easy to bite and the taste was perfectly delicious. The crispiness of the outer part and the tenderness of the inside part has made this a unique dish that is perfect as a main course and as an appetizer as well.

Where to Find

Uncle Sam’s Burger is located in front of the city hall of Butuan City,Agusan Del Norte.  They have a very nice location that has a garden setting. At night, they have acoustic entertainment. They also serve a variety of cuisines to choose from. I have also tasted their Bulalo soup. It was also good and the serving was very large. When you go Butuan, always put Uncle Sam’s Burger in your itinerary and the Crispy Tadiyang ng Baka as itinerary to your food trip adventure.

Beef Pares

This is one beef dish similar to asado but is served with rice and soup.  I’m still researching the exact origin of this and one story I hear was how Beef Pares was invented.  According to the story, it came out of the need to reinvent a mami noodles because of lack of noodles.  Instead, rice was made as a replacement and the soup on a separate cup. From there beef pares came as a new comfort food that was easily accepted by the Filipino Rice Loving nation.   Pares Mami House did not invent Beef Pares but they made it very delicious.  I use to frequent the place every time I feel like eating Beef Pares.   The good thing is, they are open 24×7, 7 days a week,

Where to Find

Pares Mami House is located at Retiro st ( now N.S. Amoranto) cor. Dr. Alejos at La Loma Quezon City.  Their Beef Pares is a must for the first timer to the place. It is something that you will be coming back to their restaurant.  I hope that you will find time to drop to this wonderful place.  Guaranteed to satisfy your hunger and craving for Pares. Rapsa Talaga to bro!!!

“Do not be deceived by the looks for the taste will reveal the true picture of the food”. Homemade foods are like that.  They are perfected through time.  That is one treasure not to be missed. We just came from a gathering in Mandaluyong and one of the best food I look forward to is “Mechado” by Nene. Mechado is served as a stew viand known in the Philippines. What makes her mechado different from others?  The technique was handed down from generations to generations who’s origin started with matriarch of the Archangel Clan of Sta.
