Stoops Bagnet Ilocos Review: Lancaster Square, Imus

Stoops Bagnet 

Affordable Ilocano food is what Stoops is known for and the branch at Lancaster Square, Imus, Cavite, has the accessibility of the terminal that is part of the Lancaster City facilities. Stoops Imus branch has clear glass windows, providing a view of the busy terminal and the field behind the mall. It is the perfect waiting place for that terminal. The place is very clean and the staff, efficient and pleasant.  Stoops Bagnet Ilocos is located at the mall there, and provides the fast-food dishes that make one super stuffed. 

The Filipino word for being full is "busog" and when you eat at Stoops, that surely will happen, without the hefty spending. Filipino food has the texture and taste, and that is exemplified by the Stoops Bagnet Ilocos food. It has the crunchy skin, the right amount of fat, and the layering of meat in each piece that gives the variety of bite. Each bagnet (deep fried pork) has the allure of fried food that our country is known for, and like all bagnet, this one can be kept stored in the fridge and reheated, and it tastes just as great as when you order it

Empanada

One of the items that is truly Ilocano is called "Empanada". This one at Stoops is similar to the empanadas made in Laoag, Ilocos Norte, and has the distinctive orange crunchy wrapping. Stoops Empanada contains cabbage, mung beans sprouts, and egg. This empanada is best eaten with Ilocos vinegar. The pancit with bagnet is a full, balanced meal, good for one to two people. The sinanglaw is a hearty soup, made from beef innards and has the defined ginger-pepper taste that makes it so good to eat.

Filipino Native Dish - Bagnet

There is no food in the world like Bagnet. If you have not tried it, you should.

Though many people compare it to Chicharon, which is crispy, deep fried pork skin, Bagnet is in a class of its own. It is crispylicious on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. This Filipino native dish is a must try for everyone.

What is amazing about Bagnet is how it was cooked, though you may find out that it was twice deep-fried, there is just something uniquely different about it.

Way back during the olden days, there was no way to be able to store food, the enterprising and resourceful Ilocanos created Bagnet, which when cooked properly and wrapped well, has a shelf life of nearly one week.

Bagnet can be reheated and the flavor and texture will still be superb. It is heavenly when dipped in special sauce and eaten with steaming hot white rice.

There are two kinds dipping sauce for Bagnet. One is made from Ilocos vinegar and chopped onions. The other one is called KBL, which is short for Kamatis (tomatoes), Bagoong Isda(fish paste), and Lazona (onions). The term KBL was coined during the time of Former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, as this was the initials of his political group, Kilusang Bagong Lipunan, and he was an Ilocano.

One can go to the Ilocos region to buy Bagnet or look for an authentic Ilocano restaurant in Metro Manila. Dine in or take out Bagnet from a regional Philippine restaurant.
