My Share for #BeautifulSunday initiated by @ace108
Welcome again Steemians to another #BeautifulSunday. Let me take you to a place where there is food to satisfy any palate. A place where your food craving can be fulfilled whatever it may be. From burgers to grilled food, from Japanese to Korean there is something here that you would like. As soon as the sun goes down lights here goes up and the grills are fired up. Welcome to................
Las Tiendas (The Stores)
This place is located at the Freedom Park, Kawit, Cavite in the Philippines around 25 kms or 1 hr more or less drive from Manila if there is no traffic. Lights illuminate the place which gives a glowing aura when going around the bend on your way here. The lights are very inviting and seeing people, tables and food being grilled would make you want to pull over and have a meal.
Fruit Juices of all sorts are available to quench your thirst freshly squeezed if you would prefer.
We looked around the place and scouted what we would like to have. As there are a lot of options it was very hard to decide as you would want to try them all. We first started at this place as we wanted to have some cracklings. We ordered a cup of Chicharon Bulaklak (Flower Cracklings) which is very delicious and popular here in our country. It is not actually a flower but of pork intestines which looks like a flower when deep fried. I know some of you maybe squeamish thinking about eating fried intestines. Let me tell you that this might be the best crackling you will ever taste. So if you are up to it and somewhere in our country or planning to visit do try this food.
Then we saw the Korean flag which indicated that we have Korean food here. Not very familiar of Korean food but I am very willing to try what they have to offer.
A lot of people were ordering fish cake and I asked "How does the fish cake taste like? Is it delicious?". The nice lady said "It is our best seller please do try it." Without hesitation I said " Give me on Fish cake please."
Here is my fish cake and served with a smile. I am not sure if she is Korean I forgot to ask as I was pretty excited about my fish cake.
We moved on and saw a booth with Mexican inspired food as the name suggest. That pork chop on the menu as suggested might be that big I presume and may be good for two people. Maybe I would try that next time.
Then we have salads for the health conscious if you are bit worried about those calories. Also they have fresh fruits if that is your craving.
I you want burgers they have black burgers here. I have been seeing those black burgers lately in cafes and restaurants. We skipped the burger for now as I was looking for a rice meal as I was craving for some grilled pork loin.
On the burgers they have tiny flags with funny quotes. Like this one "Sa throwback ka na lang Payat! (You are only slim on your throwback photos). Might be a bit insulting for some but here that is somehow funny as you eat the delicious burger.
Here we are the grilled pork loin I was looking for to satisfy my appetite. There are other options like hot dogs, barbecue on stick, pork skins and intestines. I ordered one pork loin which includes rice but the serving of the pork is good for two.
Our meal is set and now we dig in starting with the fish cake. I was surprised that it was tasty a bit spicy but I loved it which I did not expect. I would try their other food next time.
Here we have the Chicharon Bulaklak (Flower Cracklings) which actually did not last long it is best dipped is spicy vinegar.
Finally I got my grilled pork loin with rice and two types of dipping. Spicy vinegar and soy sauce with a squeeze of Philippine lime. The pork loin tasted a bit sweet and salty as the marinade most often here for grilled pork is ketchup and soy sauce. It was good and I consumed all of it that satisfied my craving.
A nice family place where there is something for everyone kid, adults, young and old. You definitely would find something here for you and you would leave with a big smile on your face.
Here is @bearkid with no complaints and a happy tummy.
