A trip to Angeles City wouldn't be complete without a taste of sisig from Aling Lucing, the sisig queen. Credited for the fame of the dish from Angeles, the late Lucia Cunanan had passed the legacy on to her sprouts.
Although still far from sophistication, the place has its own charm of a provincial eatery. Just like other popular restaurants
Anthony Bourdain - this wowed me as I used to follow his shows over a cable channel when I was hooked on cooking and thought watching culinary shows would turn me as one of them_ the pros. hehe, so ambitious and dreamy of me then.I couldn't name his show that I was following then but it was the one where he went around the globe to taste exotic food from different countries.
I wonder if Mr. Bourdain featured Aling Lucy's sisig over that show.
The fact that he has a status of an international famous celebrity chef and a culinary author and had graced the humble place is surely something to be proud of , isn't it?
Well, here you could spot more of our local celebrities. There's Joey de Leon for one. You name the rest, will you?
Here's one with our local actress and former beauty queen_ Charlene Gonzales Mulach.In the foreground is a camera staff, I would guess, a tv show had featured the place.
There's alot more celebrity photos in the wall of the place, but our sisig was now served on our table. Time to dig in.
Served as usual in a sizzling plate, sisig of Aling Lucing looked no different from the sisig available around the country. A concoction of boiled and chopped pig ears and cheeks seasoned with vinegar, calamansi juice, chopped onions and chicken liver.
But a spoon of it made me taste the difference. It was more meaty and the abundance of onion made it sweeter than the other versions around the country. This was sure tasted better than the rest !
Worth the side trip!
