    The best parking area would be on the underground parking of Robinson’s Los Banos since it’s the nearest parking area around there.

    Other Details:

    Due to the consistent quality of their sisig you might want to check first if they still have sisig in stock since it runs out early at times.

    You may want to reserve a platter or a sisig meal by reaching them on their numbers ahead to make sure that you get to taste this dish.

    This is best paired with the Pinikas Silog/Platter from Elbi Balay (another stall in the same food park).

    Hungry U offers different sizzling meals, burgers and they even have liquor! The pork sisig platter is under their pulutan choices, and we’re sure it’s a great beer pair for sure!

    Hungry U’s pork sisig requires a lot of rice, if you’re up to eating it alone. It’s not the usual sisig made from pork face as it’s more made of liempo (or pork belly). We even always request to have less onion whenever we order.

    This is just one of the hidden food gems included in our first Los Banos food trip guide, it would be nice if you’d check out the rest of the list!

    Hungry U doesn’t have other branches but despite that, make sure to message them first before you come in case you want their sisig. We usually message their Facebook page hours before so they can save us a platter since it’s very unpredictable when their stock will run out.

    We make sure to pair their sisig with their yummy chili garlic! Personally, we love mix-matching their sisig platter with Elbi Balay’s other dishes.

    Below we have compiled all the details of Hungry U hoping you’ll come by and get a taste of that pork sisig soon!

    Si Christina Gateau’s best seller are their Sans Rival cake but it’s worth noting that their other pasta meals are also great. 

    This place is known around San Pablo City as one of the most accessible restaurants if you want an upscale dining experience around Laguna.

    While their prices are at par with Manila-based restaurants they make sure to makeup for it by their great interiors, attentive staff and quality dishes.

    The first thing I noticed was how the black pasta, which gets its color from squid ink, made the shrimp and scallops really stand out. The whole dish looked awesome and made me excited to dig in. The sauce was a mix of garlic, white wine, and butter, and it brought everything together perfectly. It was light and didn’t take away from the great taste of the seafood.

    I ordered the dinner-sized meal right-away –which is their biggest size– and was able to finish it all even though it was enough to be shared by two. The mix of yummy shrimp and scallops, interesting black pasta, and tasty sauce makes for a really enjoyable meal. Give it a shot, and you’ll definitely be happy you did!
