Pinoy Street Foods

Six years of Nostalgic moments....Finally, I was able to go back home... (recently)...

My favourites:

 

Isaw manok (chicken intestine) + spicy vinegar + cold pop = Awesoooomeee!
**cost: P3.00 - P5.00 -It's less than a loonie. 

Isaw baboy (pork intestine) *cost: P7.00 - P10.00
**pinoy bbqs are marinated with soy sauce, 7-up drink, pepper, garlic, and ketchup for added color
**Isaw baboy is chewier than Isaw manok 

**The ever famous Balut (duck eggs)...cost: P10 - 15
**great with spicy vinegar + salt on the side..^_^

**Everyone's favourite, Banana cue  **cost: P7.00 - P10.00
-- "Saba" fried with oil and brown sugar 

**must try** cost: P25.00
** We call it "Odox" in Baguio, some call it "One day old"
**I usually mix spicy vinegar and sweet fish ball sauce as my dipping sauce...
** You can find this street "gem" in every Baguio City university belts, markets, and parks.
--As expected, I ate this alone...'cause the rest of my family thought It was gross..Haha!

Sura Korean Restaurant

• This restaurant is conveniently located at 4th Street Northwest of Calgary.
• Lunch time cut off is at 3pm and Dinner starts at 5pm. 
• Small parking lot, peak hours starts at 7pm onwards so be sure you got reservations as the place isn't that big.
• We tried this restaurant last week with my sister and her baby Jilliane, and maybe next time we'll have someone who'll babysit for her while we're eating...cause their food is dang awesome!
• Bottomless drinks...love it.
• I have to try their Bulgogi next time....
• $65 for two, not bad...

Place = 4 stars

Food = 4 stars

Service = 4 stars -- I've seen just two servers during busy hours, and that's not acceptable....pleasant people though.

Mung bean cake 

Banchans ---( some of it are dry)

Their stone pot bibimbap with soup on the side...

(I must say Taste of Korea's Bibimbap is still my favourite)

Taste of Korea - Pacific Mall Markham, Ontario

 

The best Bibimbap I've ever had,....(so far... wait until I get to Korea this July..^_^)

Their Banchans (side dishes) were awesome. I really don't know if there is a surcharge for refills...
