Uncle Pit's Sisig


There is a small food station near the bus terminal in the city. Their specialty is Sisig (grilled minced or slices of meat with onions). The hubby discovered it some years ago when he traveled to Manila and arrived in Baguio late at night. The tiny place was open and he went in not expecting much. He just wanted to fill his tummy but was surprised the food was good.

He remembered when Yongi was not allowed entry to the mall and suggested we check it out and have a quick bite. When we arrived, there was a queue outside the sisig house. We were told we needed to get our order first and proceed to the other side to secure our seats and wait for our food (they rented another space with a few more tables for their growing customers).


The small seating was almost full (there were five 4-6 seater tables). Luckily, there was an unoccupied space with a bar-style table so Yongi and I took it while the hubby queued. I opted for the chicken sisig and the Farmboy went for pork. After paying our order, he came to join us and we waited. It may have taken some 15 minutes before our platters arrived. It was okay and quicker than we thought considering it was the busiest hour (lunchtime).

But yes, when my sizzling plate was served first which I thought was too spicy from the looks of it. I let the hubby taste it and he said the red stuff is not spice. It's not sour either (I try to avoid spicy and sour food as they often cause discomfort). I was still hesitant but tried a piece and true enough, there were no spicy or sour flavors. Awesomeness!

The onions though! I'm one of those who set them aside on the plate. I don't really like them, lol!


Sisig is one of our favorite dishes and we have tried a variety of it in different food places. They are tasty too, and have a common flavor - spicy, salty, rich, sour, and greasier.

Most of the pork sisig meals we tried on previous occasions were a mix of chopped pig's ear, chicken liver, and lean meat, topped with chili pepper, onions, and egg - served on a sizzling hot plate. They come with a few pieces of Calamansi which the hubby loves to squeeze all over the platter so I often request him to leave a portion without it (I'm not too fond of sour stuff).


The one I had at Uncle Pit's was pure chicken breast and surprisingly, without any spice which I greatly appreciated.

And so we enjoyed the meal and even had the leftovers for takeaway as the serving was so generous that we could not finish them all. "I didn't realize one would be enough for us," the hubby commented. They were served with a bowl of tasty complimentary soup. We did not take a pic of the pork sisig though as the hubby dug in soon after it was served in front of him, lol!

So what's the verdict?

Uncle Pit's Sisig is a small food station in Gov Pack which is quite cozy and clean. The food is beyond good. Tasty. Delicious. Each bite was flavorful. We were pleased and satisfied. Also, the process of ordering and serving was systematic and even when there was a queue, the flow of things was quick.

And they are pet-friendly. They did not say no to our furry companion. This is one of the things we always consider because not all establishments allow pets.

The only downside is that it had a few tables so customers needed to share theirs with others when necessary. While they don't say, I think one would have to leave and vacate the space soon after eating for incoming diners, especially during peak hours. The food station is great for a quick meal, suitable for those who want to grab a bite and go.

Would we eat in that place again?

Yes, especially when we are in a rush just like last time. That is to say, we liked the food. Aah! It's too early in the morning and writing this had my cravings awakened, lol!

Yum yum, the dish looks very scrumptious and will really go well with a glass of chilled wine.

I will say that sisig is an equivalent of our "asun", sauced and spiced meat which is a delicacy over here.
This really looks great.
