Ilonggo Grill's "Kansi Bulalo"




Earlier today we visited Harison Plaza in Manila and look for a good Filipino food to eat. We went to Ilonggo Grill and the waitress suggested that we order a popular Iloilo version of bulalo which is called "Kansi Bulalo"according to her it's almost the same as the traditional bulalo only it's a little sour similar to sinigang sa sampalok. We are hesitant at first but since we are a big fan of soup dishes we decided to give it a try it's good for two for only PHP198

 This is the unattractive photo posted in the restaurant fortunately the real thing is much better. So after a few minutes our order arrived.


This our order of "Kansi Bulalo" The waitress told us that the serving is good for two but surprisingly this bowl can serve up to 4 people with really big appetites. The taste is also great and new. I am used to preparing in a small bowl 2 limes 2 tbsp. fish sauce and 1chili cut in half. But with this dish you can cut off the lime.


It was served really hot! They should change the photo they have hanging in the restaurant for people to be interested enough to try it. What was served to us was far better than what we are expecting. It was a nice experience eating a bulalo with a new twist very yummy there's a fine balance of sourness somewhere between a sinigang sa sampalok and a citrus blend of juice in a good way. The serving for two is too much you can still bring a couple of friends with you.

This is a part of their wall type menu.. It looks old already and some of the dishes in this menu is no longer available
