The Pigpen

Who doesn’t want to dine at a place called The Pigpen? I had high hopes but I guess once you call for a reservation on a Sunday evening and the lady on the other line says “it’s ok, you can walk in”, is a sign that not all is great in swine heaven.

Service, earnest but lacks in knowledge of their food. I ordered what was recommended, grilled tamarind chicken.

There was the chicken, tender and nicely grilled but it ends there. It lacks body, depth and soul. And let’s not forget the salt!


Chicken porn was only skin shallow.

Next was my choice of pork sisig wrapped in noodles(?)

Very tasty! Had the depth and texture of classic sisig but I’m bewildered with serving it with ..hoisin?!? Is sisig! Serve it with lime, chili and soy or maggi! 


Had a cocktail made from sarsi.. actually nice. Lives up to the name.

Now, restaurants and other establishments hire influencers to get people into the door.. but ultimately what you have to offer is what keeps them interested and keeps them coming back.

Debunked!

I should’ve gone to Aristocrat for grilled chicken.
