We
recently
visited
Alamat,
a
Filipino
bistro
located
in
Poblacion.
The
restaurant
focuses
on
showcasing
Filipino
pride
through
its
tribal
and
ancestral
cuisine,
as
well
as
craft
drinks.
We
chose
to
wait
on
the
balcony
while
waiting
for
a
friend,
and
although
the
ambience
and
music
were
enjoyable,
it
was
uncomfortably
hot
in
that
area,
possibly
due
to
its
proximity
to
the
road.
Once
inside,
the
unique
decor,
featuring
star-shaped
lights
made
of
Capiz
shells,
intricate
cement
walls,
and
folklore
murals,
transported
us
to
a
different
world,
reminiscent
of
a
grandmother's
ancestral
house
it
truly
provided
a
break
from
the
bustling
city.
As
for
the
food,I
highly
recommend
trying
the
Poblechon
sisig,
which
includes
their
own
lechon
belly,
pork
ears,
63-degree
eggs,
red
onions,
and
green
chili.
Another
standout
was
the
bagnet
platter,
consisting
of
bagnet
chips,
thick-cut
bagnet,
sukang
alamat,
served
with
coconut-crab
fat
sauce
and
lechon
sauce.
Both
dishes
were
flavorful
and
satisfying.
Moreover,
Alamat
is
renowned
for
its
selection
of
locally
sourced
craft
beers
from
various
regions
in
the
Philippines.
So
I
decided
to
try
their
“De
Futa
Madre”
craft
beer,
which
had
a
strong
coffee
liqueur
aftertaste.
This
bold
and
intense
malt
beer,
with
an
alcohol
content
of
up
to
8%,
might
be
overwhelming
for
those
new
to
craft
beers-
like
me.
I
recommend
pairing
it
with
dishes
that
have
intense
flavors.
If
you're
not
looking
to
spend
too
much
on
craft
beers
in
one
night,
you
can
opt
to
try
them
individually.
Overall,
the
food
at
Alamat
Pub
was
sinfully
delicious,
offering
a
taste
of
the
forbidden.
Cheers
to
Alamat
for
championing
Filipino
cuisine
and
providing
a
unique
dining
experience
