Empanada Nation

It was Saturday late lunch time when we decided to get my OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test) result at New World Diagnostics Makati. We plan to eat at Hawker House after, only to find out that they were close during that time. We walked a bit to look for a new place and found Empanada Nation which was on Grand Opening.

I love Ilocos Empanada so I was excited to try this resto. I got the Special Empanada - 1 longganisa, veggies, 1 egg, with cheese. The Empanada was big and really filling. If I wasn't hungry enough, I won't be able to finish the whole thing. It tastes like your usual Ilocos Empanada, nothing extra special about their version of it. I also ordered the Poqui Poqui. Yes, you read it right! It's an Ilocano dish made of stir-fried eggplant, onion, tomato, and egg. All I can say is, I've had better. There's another empanada resto just in Yakal that cooks this really good. This version was like an egg omelette - the star was the egg, instead of the veggies.

Well, I find the Bagnet just average-tasting but in hefty serving. The same average taste goes with their humongously-sized Empanada, which I find too oily. The Vigan longganisa dish was basically okay in terms of taste. The place is small and is always jam-packed whenever we visit here. Reasonable prices snd the staff are generally nice.

Ordered for take out 3 ordinary and 1 special empanadas. We found that these empanadas tasted much better than the ones that we had in ilocos because they use papayas and beans in their mixture. We also like that the longanisa is lean and low in fat. The empanadas are very oily but that's expected since they're dipped in a frying machine.

If you love eating empanada (the one in Vigan), you should try this resto- they're serving kinda similar to that. I have also tried their king's meal and it's worth the price. You'll have salted egg, longganisa and bagnet + red iced tea. They dont have enough parking though. Only 2-3 cars may park in front.

Date & Time: Tuesday - October 19 2017, 6:45pmDami ng tao sa loob ng kainan: 10+Tagal ng pag hihintay bago ihain ang aming in-order: 5 to 10minsAng aking kinain: Bagnet MealPresyo ng Bagnet Meal: P135"Empanada Nation" pero hindi empanada ang in-order ko. Sayang hindi ko natikman. Mas prefer ko kasing mag kanin noong gabi na yun.Self-service ang kalakaran dito. Ikaw mismo ang kukuha ng in-order mo sa counter. Pwede ka din kumuha ng sili para sa iyong sawsawang toyo o suka. May kasamang side-dish na kalahating itlog na pula at kamatis na may bagoong at sibuyas ang Bagnet Meal. Sobrang alat ng bagoong. Hindi maka-tarungan. Katamtaman ang servings ng Bagnet Meal pero bawing bawi naman ito sa lutong("crispiness") ng Bagnet. Hindi rin ito mahirap nguya-in("chew"). Mararamdaman na parang unti-unting natutunaw ang taba ng baboy sa iyong bibig. Masarap ang Bagnet na in-order ko, walang duda. Mas sumasarap ang Bagnet pag sinawsaw mo ito sa toyo na may sili o suka. Sulit na din ang Bagnet Meal para sa kagaya kong praktikal sa buhay.Babalikan ko po ba?: Oo. Kakain uli ako ng Bagnet meal at titikman ko din ang Empanada nila

Super love all of the food we have tried in their menu, especially my Mom, who appreciates everything (she is Ilocano). Really taste like lutong-bahay. Their serving is good for sharing and is affordable. We always order extra rice.We have tried:Bagnet - Crunchy and chewy pair it up with their vinegarIgado - Delicious pork with peas and bell pepper.Sinanglaw - Papaitan. Soup with Internal Organs like isaw and atay. Not malansa. Very tasty and delicious.Crispy Dinuguan - Perfect. Consists of isaw and bagnetLooking forward in trying other dishes in their menu since we are going to Makati Med everyday.

Comfort food! The serving is just right for one hungry person and it tastes good, definitely value for your money. It is near Makati Medical Hospital (ER area) across the old Tropical Hut and Mercury Drug along Buendia. Aside from their famous bagnet (very crunchy and cooked just right), they also offer veggies topped w/ bagnet too;-) It’s self service and you can choose to dine inside or outside the restaurant. My only concern is that when you eat inside, the food smoke/smell coming out from the kitchen will stick to your clothes and hair, guess they need improvement with their ventilation/exhaust. But overall, it’s the food that counts!
