Anix's House of Kare-Kare

From the foodlist of most social media sites, Anix's Kare Kare has been part of some of it. It's an old, old restaurant, from how it look. It reminded me of an old steak house along Sct. Borromeo and Alavar's in Sct. Fuentebella back in the 90's.We were curious about their karekare, how ut became part of the 'best/good' list.We ordered their kare kare and inihaw na bilao. The kare kare was the usual but can be better. I dunno if time brought down the quality from being the good ones in the metro. The sauce was lacking the richness of the meat and is sweet. Sweet not from peanut butter, more on sugar. The consistency was thickened with slurry not rice. It lacks most of the qualities I look for kare kare.The inihaw na bilao is mixed grilled seafood items and a pork belly. The porkbelly was burnt to the point of a large shrinkage and chewy. The vinegar served on the side was good. I'd rather go to another restaurant and get their boodle platter, which is wayy much better.Anix's house of kare kare may have converted from a famous karekare to a surviving drinking place.#TheFoodCrawlers #OngaFoodprints #TheLostDiego

Friday Club strikes again... this time we tried this place as suggested by one of our colleagues. It's such a big place, homey, & spacious. The plan was to order their classic kare-kare & lechon kawali. We were only 6, 2 were not able to join us. The crew suggested to replace our lechon kawali w/ crispy pata, & I added the ginataang suso, which I have been craving for for the past 3 days. Their kare-kare & crispy pata were to die for. Not all suso were good, 3 pcs tasted so gross but yes, it was still a happy tummy experience for the Friday Club. An iced cold Coca Cola best suited our 3 choices.
