Trip Ko Lang

Hanap mo ba ay isaw, betamax, kwek kwek, fish ball, kikiam at kung anu pang pagkain na tinatawag nating street food? Pero di mo trip lumabas sa kalye at magtusok tusok… well, dito ka na lang sa Lime 88, kung saan ang mga street foods ay pinasosyal…

Street Style BBQ Platter @190php

We ordered for their famous Street Style BBQ Platter which includes Chicken Ass, Chicken Intestine, Betamax, Pork Intestine, and Pork Skin, with Peanut Sauce.  Tasted good just the usual but definitely clean. Sauce was good just like the one used with Satay but you can also choose to dip it with vinegar.

Quail Egg Tempura @110php

Kwek kwek or tukneneng, when we buy it on the streets but here it is called Quail Egg Tempura, how sosy noh?! Hehe!

Authentic Street Style Balls with sauce Benok @120php

Another tusok tusok food we ordered was their Authentic Street Style Balls, included Kikiam, Fish balls, Squid balls, and Chicken balls. Guess what happened before this picture was taken? Haha!

Embotido Stuffed Crispy Pata @350php

Then we ordered one main dish, Embotido Stuffed Crispy Pata, big and yummy!

All their foods were delicious but find it a bit pricey…maybe because of how they transformed it to something sosy…food presentation was good…a good place to hang out if you don’t want too much crowd, venue is a house transformed to a restaurant…Lime 88 is located at 160 San Rafael St. Mandaluyong City.

See you there!

Buying Tempura on stick

Seeing a food cart parked along the beach was really surprising for me. Being the only food cart we saw; we quickly checked it and found out that it was selling Tempura – wow, another surprise! Only here in Panglao, you can buy Tempura from a food cart and sold as street food.

Frying Tempura

In an instant, we ordered one piece each for only 3 pesos.  We waited some time because frying time was a bit long and there were a lot who ordered.  I think this Tempura is the cheapest food that you can find in Panglao, eat it with rice and you can already have a satisfying and definitely the cheapest meal.

Dipping Tempura in sauce

We dipped it in a spicy sauce, for me it tasted like Kikiam and generally tasted good. Good thing we discovered this Tempura food cart while strolling along the beach, another new food experience for me. So the next time you visit Panglao Island, make sure to look for Kuya and his Tempura food cart along the beach and experience eating the cheapest Tempura only in Panglao Island.

Enjoy every bite of your Tempura
