Hooray for Sisig!



Who doesn't love sisig?

It's so high in fat and cholesterol, yet you can't help but drool over it.
Why? Because its ingredients are so bad its gives you a good buzz afterwards.

3 weeks ago, I made a sizzling discovery. Of all places, can you believe I found delicious sisig at SM Foodcourt. The place is called Sisig Hooray and they offer fresh sisig, made in front of you.
This place is always packed and there's a long line at the counter and I don't wonder why. Their pork sisig is one of the best I've had.

The ingredients are freshly chopped. And presented like Mongolian Barbecue. Chopped liver. Onions. Chopped pork. Chicharon. Crushed Peppers. Sesame oil. and the mustard-looking "Special Sauce". All over mixed in a bowl then microwaved. The oil is so thick you could see the "sebo", how divine. Chicharon and sili is added last. You can also opt to remove the parts you don't like.

To add drama to your meal is the burly man chopping the chicharon and the "pigue" part of the pork in rhythmic cadences. Not only do you get a yummy meal, you get treated to a drumline chorus.

And the end result is a flavorful, crunchy, delicious sisig you'll ever taste. Take my word for it. It's very,very good.

What I like about their sisig - They don't cheat and scrimp on ingredients, they use pork but not the icky parts you don't see, head cheese and all. You could see the lechon chopped right before you.

What makes me uncomfortable - The plastic containers used to heat the sisig. Most are already damaged from the constant heating of the food.

What they offer - Pork sisig P51, Chicken Sisig P51, and Bangus sisig P 61 Barkada blowout (good for 4) P130 really cheap and hits the spot! The quality of the rice is not good so I recommend buying rice from nearby Jollibee.

Ratings:
FOOD 5 forks
AMBIANCE n/a (what can you expect in SM foodcourt)
VALUE FOR MONEY 5 forks
VARIETY 3 forks They just have 3 kinds of sisig but I'm not complaining

Don't miss this place. Its sisig to die for!

hi. share ko lang my bad experience with sisig hooray kahapon. my friend and i were eating sisig there (robinson's galleria) and we were so happy about how yummy it was.niyaya ko sha dun kasi nakakain ako dun once at natuwa ako sa chiken sisig.binida ko pa sa friend ko na mura dun pero okay talaga ung timpla.

we decided to order some rice pa kasi bitin ung almost half cup na ata na rice nila. my friend ordered two extra rice but nobody attended to it (there were four people there and one of them was not doing anything). after some time, mga after 3minutes, my friend repeated her order. and one of the guys told her, "ma'am sandali lang, mabibigyan naman kayo eh."
T__T
when my friend got back to our table, mukang offended talaga sha kasi nafeel daw nya na pasimple daw na nangpahiya yung guy. so i said, don't worry about it, let's find na lang their contact details and send them some feedback about their crew.

continue na lang kami sa pagkain, i gave her my last bite of chicken sisig kasi i wanted her to try it since she ordered pork.

heto na.

she discreetly spat/spitted out a piece of "meat" and placed it on the styro plate. she said, "um..karton ba to?"
i couldnt tell at first kasi it was brown and a little flaky, so i decided to pick it up despite of her protests (it's been in her mouth after all).

OMFG
it's an effing piece of karton T__T
naubos ko na ung order, ang saya diba.
i took pictures using my phone and when i showed it to my coworkers this morning, they were so disgusted kasi it really looks like a piece of cooked flaky meat.

the busboy who was mopping the floor was intrigued with what we were doing so he was looking narin at the "meat". i told him, "karton, manong. nakuha ko sa sisig.jan s sisig hooray. Grr." mukang hindi pa sha maniniwala so i held it with my two hands and tore it. nanlaki ang mata nya nung nakita nya yung texture ng papel na pinupunit. pag-alis namin, he showed our plate to another busboy.

sabi nung friend ko, pag sinabi daw namin dun sa store, baka awayin lang kami at sabihin na we're just trying to get back at them dahil napahiya yung friend ko sa remark nung rude guy.

pero ako ung nakakain nun noh, at malay ko ba kung nasa ibang sisig din nila yun. i can't just let it go ng walang nasasabihan.
when i got home, about 40minutes nang nakalipas, i drank three glasses of water and stuck my index finger down my throat.
di na ko kakain dun T__T

un lang po. salamat sa space :-(
