#ZomatoXABSCBN Marikina Food Crawl: It's All About Pork Love...at Manganen Bagnet House.

Kapitoyo, Maginhawa, and now Marikina's Lilac Street. The metro's bustling foodie scene is looking real good...



Manganen Bagnet House brings the rich culinary heritage of Ilocos to the heart of Marikina, with its signature Bagnet. The fourth stop in our #ZomatoXABSCBN Marikina Food Crawl, get ready for real pork love...

Located at the booming Lilac Street, Marikina's answer to Kapitolyo and Maginhawa, Manganen Bagnet House is just one more reason to visit this emerging foodie destination. Lined with homegrown dining concepts, Lilac Street is fast becoming the next big thing in the metro's culinary scene. But if it's bagnet you want...


...there's only one place along Lilac Street that serves the real thing. Manganen Bagnet House prepares their house specialty in the traditional way, involving a tedious process of boiling, frying, drying, and frying again to achieve that signature juicy texture capped by a crunchy outer layer of crackling with a delicate crispness.


At Manganen Bagnet House, it's all about pork love. Choose from the Balai, Spicy, and Vigan Bagnet, and get ready for pure pork bliss. 



Manganen Bagnet House also offers classic local dishes using bagnet as the main ingredient, like the Bagnet Kare-Kare (P 298), the traditional peanut based stew with crispy pork belly replacing ox-tail and beef tripe. The richness of the thick and mildly sweet peanut sauce is amplified by the equally rich bagnet, releasing savory notes  with every bite.


Topped with fresh vegetables, the mildly sweet and clean notes tempers the richness of the dish. The dish is good for two, but I won't blame you if you want this all to yourself. Manganen Bagnet House's other "bagnetified" dishes include Bagnet Sinigang (P 268), Bagnet Binagoongan (P 278), and Tokwa't Bagnet (P 188).  


Manganen Bagnet House also serves other Ilocano specialties, like the Dinakdakan (P 218), the pork sisig version of Ilocos...


...and the Bagnet Express (P 278), Manganen Bagnet House's unique take on the classic Bicol Express using bagnet for the ultimate version upgrade.


It's all about pork love. With so many dining options along Marikina's Lilac Street, there's just one place for authentic Bagnet. See you at Manganen Bagnet House...
