Certainly, bagnet is like lechon kawali. Bagnet is deep fried 3 times and hung in between. That is what makes it soft and crunchy, and expensive. ;DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06302606840585563318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197963722557620748.post-58387578700371764192012-05-30T19:11:15.359+08:002012-05-30T19:11:15.359+08:00Hi Jome!

And what you said about bagnet- that it didn't feel like pork, swak! That's what's driving me crazy- up until now I'm trying to figure out how they did that. Try the bagnet at Cafe Leona's the next time you wind up in Ilocos. :DNYELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424731170044777660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197963722557620748.post-5257569373822290462012-05-30T17:17:03.307+08:002012-05-30T17:17:03.307+08:00Love the empanadas! i must've had 5 of them in...Love the empanadas! i must've had 5 of them in the 4 days we were there, had 1 at vigan, then 1 at Batac, then went back for some more the next day(double special, because more is better!)(we stayed near Laoag)<br /><br />Bagnet for me was a hit or miss, we had it a few times we were there but sometimes it was a bit dry, or hard instead of crunchy, but the 1 we brought home was like heaven! I mean, it didn't even FEEL like pork! the stuff inside the crunchy exterior actually melts in your mouth!<br /><br /> taking it home was kinda scary though, because they wrapped it in cling wrap and then put it in a paper bag, by the time we got home, the paper bag was almost about to dissolve from the amount of oil it had soaked up. :D<br /><br />the royal bibingka was really good too, although we only had time to try out Marsha's.j0mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657718242465980578noreply@blogger.com
