[TGFF] Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy | Angeles City, Pampanga | Philippines

Happen to be in Angeles City? I am sure there are plenty of exciting and interesting food or restaurant choices here. Pampanga, in general, is popularly known as the Culinary Capital of the Philippines. While I couldn’t agree more and there are A LOT of good dining experiences here, I would say that the best choice is always at home. There are far more interesting dishes which happens to be in every fiesta meals I have been with friends and family or even those served at any typical Kapampangan (local in Pampanga) table.Having said that, there are a lot of hidden gems here. My mother always talks about Mila’s. She goes there once in awhile with her amigas just a street away from my daughter’s school. I’ve been at Mila’s twice already after that one fine morning with le mudra. I suggested to have our breakfast there and see for myself what she enthusiastically describes each visit. The second time I’ve visited was with Wanderbud and Bes on a post-Dagupan food road trip (yes! food after food).

Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

Welcome to Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

Celebrity and Guesthouse Wall at Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

My mom and I went there for an early breakfast, say, around 10am. Mila’s was open already but grilled paldeot (Kapampangan term for Chicken Ass) and tenga (Pig’s Ears) were yet to be served in the afternoon. And so, after a food roadtrip with my Wanderbud and friends, we went to Mila’s late in the afternoon to try those grilled treats. Mila’s is open until 9PM in compliance with the subdivision’s rules and regulations.

Inside Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

One fine morning with le mother at Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

Mila’s has NO social media account so I just had a very informal quick intro and exchange of contacts with Ms. Irene (sorry, haven’t validated if she’s part of the family).

Food Choices

Top Sellers are of course Tokwa’t Baboy, Sizzling Sisig and Paco Salad. You shouldn’t miss these three or you haven’t been to Mila’s after all. These top 3 sellers are served in every customer’s table everywhere you look.

Tokwa’t baboy (Fried tofu with pig’s ears drenched in specially made vinegar topped with celery leaves)

Tokwa’t baboy (Fried tofu with pig’s ears drenched in specially made vinegar topped with celery leaves) is served in a platter good for 3-4 persons priced at Php220(4USD/3EURO). Its tokwa (fried tofu) crunchy crust that melts in our mouth while you savor it, I think, is what made this meal so popular. Baboy (Pig’s ears) is served in another side of the platter which is drenched with a specially made vinegar that is so hard to resist topped off with celery leaves and mized with freshly sliced onions.

Sizzling Sisig (deeply fried cheek from pig’s head)

Sizzling Sisig (deeply fried cheek from pig’s head) is served cooked and delivered under a sizzling platter good for 3-4 persons. I think this is way better than the sisig I’ve ever tasted. What sets this apart with the other sisig I’ve tasted personally is, its well seasoned, deep fried but not too oily and purely meat.

Paco (baby fern) Salad

Balance your appetite and cholesterol level with some salad. Paco (baby fern) is served at almost any Kapampanga table. You cannot go wrong with this fresh paco with salted egg on top with raw tomatoes and onions. You have the option to dip it in their specially made vinegar or savor it as it is.

Other dishes I’ve tried: Dinuguan (pig’s blood and intestines) at Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

Other dishes I’ve tried: [left] Ihaw na Paldeot (Grilled Chicken Ass) and [right] Ihaw na Tenga (Grilled Pig’s Ears) at Mila’s Sisig and Tokwa’t Baboy

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Generous servings for an affordable price which can fit in 3-4 persons
• Freshly cooked and served

Cons

• The location is inside the subdivision but there’s no problem if you really intend on going.
• Might be a little tricky for first timers since there is only one jeepney route passing through the subdivision’s entrance. Your best options are to go there via private car or a special trip (tricycle)
• Parking are in both sides of the streets which can be a little challenging especially during peak hours. There is an intended parking space across the street but there’s an on-going renovation in that area.
