Contrary to popular belief, it is difficult to find delicious Filipino food in Hong Kong. There are a lot of Filipino restaurants and eateries in Wan Chai and Central, but nothing stands out. No restaurant has ever fed me something good enough to make me want to keep coming back. Until I tried Foodtrip in Jordan.Located just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of Temple Street, this little hole in the wall is a gem that serves authentically good Filipino fare.For starters, we had Lumpiang Sha
Located just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of Temple Street, this little hole in the wall is a gem that serves authentically good Filipino fare.
For starters, we had Lumpiang Shanghai (spring rolls) and Chicharon Bulaklak (crispy pork intestines). I loved them both. The lumpia wrapper was crispy, thin and not so oily, which allowed me to better taste the marinated minced pork inside. And I enjoyed the loud, crackling noises I make every time I pop a chicharon into my mouth. I felt like Cookie Monster gobbling cookies. Nomnomnomnom.
Then on to the mains. I do not eat Dinuguan (pork blood stew) because they usually have a slimy, metallic scent that I do not like, but my friends who tried the Dinuguan at Foodtrip said that it was delicious and did not have that weird after-taste usually associated with Dinuguan.
I loved the Beef Kaldereta! The meat was tender and the sauce, just absolutely perfect. It's so good, I can't even begin to describe it!
The pork sisig fell a little bit below par though.
The garlic rice was perfect and went very, very well with everything else.
For dessert, the lady serving us, Joyce, recommended Mango Pandan. It was heavenly! If I hadn't stuffed myself with so much food earlier, I would've gone for mango pandan seconds. Creamy and sweet, with just the right amount of sour from the mango, it was the perfect way to cap off a perfect dinner.
If you're the drinking type, order a bottle of Red Horse Beer or Tanduay Ice to go with dinner. If you're the heavy-drinker type, order a shot of Lambanog. Be warned though. Lambanog is not for the faint of heart (and/or liver). Some Lambanog can go as high as 166 proof (distilled further and it can be used as Biofuel).
