Pig-Out Adventure

I don't usually write much about food and restaurants but i got hand it down to this one. On my recent trip to the Philippines, me and the rest of the Family decided to go for a post birthday dinner. So we went up north from Batangas goofing for a dining place. We ended up in this place called "Pig-Out!"
Located within Nuvali’s lush 1,700-hectare community at the heart of Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Pig Out! is the newest concept of the Bistro Group of Restaurants, the same company behind the success of Italiannis, T.G.I.Friday’s, Fish & Co., Flapjacks and Billy Rock.. think I no need to tell more after mentioning all those sister resto's they have :D

The moment you enter you'll be spoiled for choices — from the appetizers to the main courses down to desserts. But what tickled our palates is its extensive and interesting beverage list that boasts carefully concocted drinks that are not just thirst-quenchers but good for the body, too. Who would have thought that celery could be so addictive? Pig Out’s! Stalk of the Town is a refreshing mix of blended celery and apple with honey and pineapple ring (my mom and sister ordered that straight away) Not to mention; SkinTrip with carrot, wheatgrass and honey, the Cucumber Breezer; which is a blend of cucumber, pear, mint leaves and honey and also Green Fizz, a flavorful concoction of ampalaya, lemonade, honey and Sprite topped with squeezed lemon. Trying out these drinks is a yummy and fun way of teaching kids how to enjoy and love their veggies =)

The resto features long wooden tables and chairs specially designed for big families or barkadas. The sleek droplights and glass panels meld well with the wooden furniture.

Pig Out! serves meat and seafood grilled specialties that are cooked just the way we Filipinos like: smoky, juicy and tender with just the right amount of sweetness. The selection includes not just all-time Pinoy inihaw favorites but Western and Asian-style grilled delights as well. The beef ribs spicy Seoul-style is simply delish. It tastes like kalbi chim, a popular beef stew dish in Korea. The sesame and chili sauce has a smoky, sweet/salty flavor that’s appetizing to the palate. And of course, pork barbecue is a hometown favorite sold by the stick (we never order it though, but I'm sure the dish will speak for itself once you tried it) It goes well with a serving of grilled shrimps salsa cocktail, a robust Tex-Mex starter served with spicy tomato salsa. Also try the inihaw na spareribs marinated adobo-style and lets not forget the Pig Out! crispy pata (pork knuckle) which we devoured.

Prices are surprisingly affordable in both “just for you” (solo) and sharing portions, which are good for two to three persons. Everything that comes out of the kitchen tastes heavenly. Each dish left a delectable mark on our palates (I forgot the Chef's name there at that time and rest of the Kitchen crew, you guys we're terrific! compliments to all of you)
**Veggie lovers, on the other hand, shouldn’t be turned off by the name of the resto because Pig Out! has something equally tempting for them.



And oh, lets not forget..aside from food, includes " a Team of amazing, wonderful and dedicated individuals who is " one of the most engaging and enthusiastic around" from the kitchen, bartender, service staffs, dining supervisor and outlet managers (they even dance for us as an extra treat while singing happy birthday to me and my son) thank y'all very much, you guys are the greatest!

True to Bistro Group’s reputation as one of the Philippines leading casual dining chains, Pig Out! is big on everything — Whenever and wherever there’s great food, service and ambience, there’s lots of good reasons to pig out! I'm so looking forward to come back there again!
