Celebrating Bonifacio day this long weekend, we write about KKK - a restaurant with the same name as the revolutionary group led by the hero. We bought an online discount voucher for this.
The place is decorated with the likeness of a nipa hut - walls covered like this.
A paper mache of a pair of Filipinos accompany each table. You can munch on complementary kropek while waiting for your order.
Pancit Luglog
This comes with fried tofu and chicharon toppings.
Kare Kareng Baka
A mix of beef chunks and tripe in a chunky peanut pumpkin sauce with bagoong on the side is served. Kare kare is already a staple when we try out Filipino restaurants.
Pinitpit na Manok
Grilled chicken fillet with tamarind sauce on the side is up next. The sampaloc sauce is like a sour tamarind candy but with less sugar. The meat itself is a little dry but it goes well with the sauce.
Tibok tibok
This one is the favorite. It is a maja blanca, but richer and thicker. Carabao's milk is used for this. It's quite filling and the serving size is bigger than the usual round kakanin that you can finish in two bites.
Unlike our recent visits to other Filipino restaurants, food here is relatively not that salty.
