Mornings with Sandok Comfort Food

It all started with one facebook ad. I read, got interested in and ultimately mornings has never been the same again.

Welcome to Sandok Comfort Food. A new restaurant located along 6th street Bacolod City That serves good old Ilonggo homecooked meals.

The interiors are quite homey. With quotes from popular food writer Julia Child hanging on the wall. Ahh the placemat, too! Who wouldn’t dare noticce the lovely piece full of food quotes! I can just easily pretend I’m in a Julie and Julia movie.

The first time I went to Sandok I was so clueless of what to order. The menu written in blackboard adds more charm.

Finally i opted for bacon tapa with sunny side up. Tapa is a popular Filipino breakfast fare similar to beef jerky. Best when paired with fried or garlic rice.

Sandok’s version of tapa is so thin and dry, unloke Manila’s version which is cooke with some sau e on it. The tapa is somewhat Similar to bacon. Well marinated in salt pepper and spices and sun dried to achieve that perfect crunch.
It’s so good. It reminds me of my early childhood days when the smell of deep fried tapa is wafting through the air eveytime i wake up in the morning. I love it. Period.

And one good meal deserves another, right? So in the following days of my month long stay in bacolod i went back to Sandok for my breakfast fix. This time i ordered chunky corned beef and garlic rice.

This time I hit the jackpot. It was a eureka moment. Finally I found the best corned beef in Bacolod! Their corned beef is homemade and is oozing with all the juices. The level of saltiness is just right. So in the next few days i just had corned beef corned beef and more corned beef.

On my last day in Bacolod, just a few hours before I flewback to the Metro I went back to Sandok for lunch. I had Manok sa ubad soup with rice on the side. The servings are large the soup is good for two persons already.

Sandok also serves other Ilonggo homecooked dishes like KBL (Kadios Baboy Langka), kansi and dinuguan and to make the menu exciting they also offer menu of the week. When i wwnt there for lunch I was supposed to try their burger steak menu of the week. Unfortunately they ran out of gravy sauce. Awwww. Maybe next time

But for now you know where to find me when Im craving for good homecooked meals. Sandok is located along 6th street. In front of sophia’s bakery and City Lunch. They are open 7am-8pm and closed on Sundays.
