I again met one of my favorite pork barbecue a few days ago when I had an early dinner at Floyd’s Famous Barbecue. This combo meal is an automatic order for me every time I line up with a lot of people especially during mealtimes. Understandably, it is always an SRO crowd during lunch and dinner most of the time, queuing for their specialties.
The savoury and tangy barbecue sauce is perfect for the skewered pork with the highlight at the end – a piece of pork fat. Each bite comes with a longing for another and ends with a sigh of satisfaction. Then comes the craving and the cycle repeats itself.
Floyd's Chicken Barbecue with a flavour that's a combination of the American style barbecue and the local inasal. A dry rub of a few spices creates a new dimension in taste from the usual barbecues or inasals found in most restaurants in Iloilo.
It would have been a more complete meal if I ended it with dessert that I’ve been craving for since the last time I had them – a plate of hot bibingka. It may not seem – see and taste like – bibingka (more like of a suman), but I don’t really care since each bite of this native delicacy is a mouthful of bliss. But unfortunate for us, it wasn’t available that time.
