Malen's Oyster Sisig
Sisig is a very popular dish in the Philippines. It's rather new I must say and not a recipe that we can call colonial from the Spanish and American eras. Usually made of pork meat, but can also be made using beef, chicken, or tuna, sisig is made my slicing meat into very small blocks and then seasoned with soy sauce and calamansi (native lime), then sauteed with onions, garlic, chili peppers, and liver. It creates an explosion of delicious tastes that come together - sweet, sour, salty, spicy - mixed together in a beautiful dish.
Malen's Restaurant in Noveleta took it a notch higher by using one of coastal Cavite's famous products, oysters. In this dish, the oysters are sliced and cooked in the sisig style and then scooped back to its cute little shells and served and plated in a bed of salt. Sisig and this particular oyster variant is best enjoyed with steamed white rice. You can enjoy native Caviteño and other Filipino and Fusion cuisine in Malen's Restaurant in the town of Noveleta. They are also known for their cakes and pastries.

Thank you very much brother Padre, I do agree when I did a second look now on that photo, the power lines did give it so much drama to it.
DeleteStay safe brother Padre!
Sound delicious SQ, for me with chicken as the base would be perfect :)
ReplyDeleteOh Same here Grace! I love Chicken Sisig the most especially when it gets pretty toasted on the pan and become flaky, oh that's the best!
