Helping by Eating: Knorr's Food for Change at Mercato Centrale (Part 2: The Sisig Post)

Just recently Knorr had a food tasting event called Food for Change wherein for every ticket helps fight hunger, you also get to sample up to 50 food concessionaires at Mercato Centrale BGC.You get to vote who's the top

So here's some of the best sisig and bagnet I tried:

Chef Bab's alone has 3 versions of sisig on display
Crispy Pork Sisig - unlike other sisigs, this one is chopped roughly resulting in bigger pork cuts

Chef B's Crispy Pork Sisig

The version with mayonnaise

Pork Dinakdakan

Pork Dinakdakan - This one is slightly different. They cut the pork lengthwise, there's no crunchy stuff. Just tender pork slices made a bit spicy with sili, very good, where's the beer?

 Crunchy Belly by Carlos Kitchen

They lay those golden morsels of bagnet in front of you, like a spiderweb luring the unsuspecting fly, Oh my, these are wonderful but...

Manila Q's Bagwang still rules. I've been a loyal patron of Bagwang, this is the still that I am drawn to when I'm at Mercato. I think they were the first to offer bagnet cooked like chips then infused with garlic. Very, very delicious. I don't blame you for salivating.

Crunchon: This place has spot on crunchy sisig, probably because they use good bagnet (pork belly).The pork is not overpowering, its not swimming in oil, there's less umay and the crunchiness is just mind-blowing.

Other concessionaires:

Bagnet with rice 120 bucks

sisig with mayo, umay and grease galore

 

Helping by Eating: Knorr's Food for Change at Mercato Centrale part 1

Last October 26, we were at Knorr's Food for Change Program at the Mercato Centrale. For 300 pesos per ticket you can sample up to 50 food concessionaires at the Mercato Centrale, the Knorr booths and help fight hunger.

Knorr's Food for change grabbed from their FB page

The program was hosted by Atom Araullo featuring recipes by Chef Marvin Agustin. I'm not really a big sinigang fan. But the chance to sample over 50 food types at Mercato was indeed quite an experience. So let's check out some of our food tasting finds
