Bento Meal Special (good for 2) (Bagnet, ♥Tinuno, Adobo , ♥Vigan Longganisa) (250 php)

The Bento Meal Special allows you to choose four kinds of their viands: Bagnet, Adobo, Longganisa, Dinuguan, Higado, Tinuno or BBQ with unlimited rice.  We choice Bagnet, Tinuno, Adobo and Vigan Longganisa.  

The Bagnet is one of the most famous dishes from the Ilocos region.  It is pork meat cooked similar to the lechon kawali but with a crispy fatty skin.  This version is a bit dry and lacking in crunchiness.

The Tinuno which is roast pork slabs like liempo was tender, tasty and succulent.  This was my pick out of the bunch.

The Adobo was good.  The Ilocano people are not too fond of sauces so like the Dinuguan, their version of the Adobo is dry.

The  Vigan Longganisa are authentic.  It has the same taste as those you can buy from Vigan.  It is savory, salty with some fatty portions.

Rice

                 ♥ Champola (75 php per litter)                          Sangria (75 php per liter)

The Champola is a guyabano with Piña Sparkler.  This was cool and refreshing.  I loved guyabano so I was able to appreciate this in every sip.  You can also opt for guava instead of guyabano if you want.

The Sangria is a local version with basi, kafir and dalanghita.  Chef Danny de la Cuesta proudly presented this fermented alcoholic conction of his.  He told us that this is actually made out of sugarcane.  My first impression of this is that it was smooth and sweet.  But, after a few more sips, I realized that this drink is quite powerful as an alcohol drink too.
