KKK Pinoy Food Revolution

September 7, 2013. Saturday.

It was a gloomy and drizzling Saturday and we were already both very hungry. So we decided that we would eat at the first restaurant we see that agree on. We passed by a handful of different restaurants, but nothing caught both our fancy. Thankfully, we came across KKK Pinoy Food Revolution and immediately agreed to try it out.

KKK Pinoy Food Revolution serves traditional Filipino fare in non traditional ways, thus the name. Not quite fusion food, but more of Pinoy food with a twist. The restaurant's interiors is of course Filipino themed, with the use of local materials seen all throughout. The servers are dressed in traditional Filipiniana, making you feel really at home. And there's even half a jeep displayed in front!

 

 

We ordered the following dishes to share.

Ilokanong Bagnet. 290php.

I don't get why there is a need to label their bagnet as being Ilokano, since it is a dish already known by most as being Ilokano. Little puzzled look on my face aside, this was fried to crisp and oily perfection! The KBL (kamatis, bagoong, lasona) was the perfect partner for this, as it tempered the fatty richness (and goodness!) of the bagnet. Take a piece of the bagnet, couple it the KBL and hot steaming rice -- mmm, this is what dinner dreams are made of!

Kare- Kareng Baka. 380 php.

It might not have looked much when it was served, but the serving size of this one was surprisingly big! I'd say it would even be enough to be shared by 3- 4 people. They were generous in the amount of beef in it, and the vegetables too. The beef was tender and the veggies still had the right crunch to them (as there were some that were separated and not put directly in the pot).

For drinks, I had their Calamansi Juice while Kim had Sagot' Gulaman.

Calamansi Juice. 75 php; Sagot' Gulaman. 45 php.

So we went a little safe and ordered two very traditional dishes that any good resto can't possibly mess up, but we don't regret it one bit. Both were cooked excellently. The service in KKK was great; the waiters were attentive and courteous. The food is also priced just right, because the servings were generous enough. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes that take a spin on our local faves.
