This place is insanely good. I don’t really have much experience with Filipino food so I can safely say this was my first legitimate meal.
It’s a small but cozy spot with terrible parking lol
Staff is friendly and there’s a good variety on the menu.
I went with the 8 oz Lucenachon $19, Java garlic rice $5, and Calamansi Honey juice $5.
The Lucenachon was insane. The skin was so crispy while the meat was tender and so so juicy. It really had tremendous savory and umami flavor. The vinegar dipping sauce was strong but tasty so don’t use too much!
And that garlic rice was some of the best rice I’ve ever had. Quite literally the perfect amount of garlic in a perfectly cooked bowl of rice.
The juice I was a bit on the fence. I’ve only had “Calamansi” flavored anything from Crème Caramel with their cheesecake so I just assumed this drink would be sweeter than it was. It was not quite bitter but I think because of the honey it had that type of sharp flavor that you sometimes taste with honey used as a sweetener. It also wasn’t as tart as I expected. It wasn’t bad by any means I was just surprised by the flavor!
Nonetheless, Kuya Lord is definitely a place I’ll be returning to try the other variations of pork belly!
