The Best Gourmet Lugaw @ Lugawan Republic

Is there such a thing as Gourmet Lugaw?

I thought there wasn't until I tasted one at Lugawan Republic. It's not branded as gourmet though, but it sure tasted like one to me.

The place is attached to Iago's, another cool joint for al fresco dining and drinking. Both located in BF Homes Paranaque just near the guard house along Aguirre Avenue.

Let's talk about their Lugaw (rice porridge). We got the halo-halo instead of the basic lugaw. It was thick enough and yellowish in color. It had quail and chicken eggs, ox tripe, pork meat, and another thickening ingredient (i think it was sotanghon). Eat it with an order of tokwa, then you'll have a completely filling meal. Oh, so yummy indeed!

Since the airconditioned Lugawan Republic is attached to Iago's, you can order their other specialties such as: calamares, barbeque chicken fillet, lumpiang togue, fish & chips, green mango with bagoong and laing. Their service water is pandan-flavored. :)

The service is very good while the ambiance with its yellowish lights is just right. The only downside is the exhaust system is not that efficient that the smell of fried food somehow sticks to your shirt. :)

The next time you're in the south and looking for "safe" and delicious lugaw, visit Lugawan Republic. You'd be glad you did.
