Crispy Pata lovers are in for a big treat from a new restaurant in Quezon City called "Livestock," offering a different kind of pork hinds - the Melt-In-Your-Mouth Crispy Pata.
Dubbed as the best crispy pata in the city, the pork meat is so crispy and tender you can cut and slice through it -- using only a wooden popsicle stick.
Livestock may be the only restaurant which has more pork to offer than any other food joints. Why not - the owners, husband and wife team Mico and Ching Uy are hog raisers, so you can only expect the most delicious pork in their vast menu of delicacies.
Ching, who studied at the Center for Culinary Arts in Manila, said in an ABS-CBN interview:
“We breed our own livestock, which is pork, and cultivate some of our herbs and vegetables. So it's fresh from the farm right to your table,”
“We are now considering possibilities of breeding our very own local Berkshire pigs so we can supply our own fresh Kurobuta pork. We hope to achieve this feat in the next five years,”
The best dishes worth to try are:
Pig Cheek Bourgignon
Spiced Pig Tails
Splayed Pork Knuckles.
Caesar salad with bits of crispy pork belly
Lechon Tom Yum
Bacon Ice Cream Sandwich
Rich Man’s Pot with vegetables, meat and rice
