Crispy Pata Lunch at Filipiniana

Question: Do you ever get that craving feeling for lunch? Second Question: Have you ever had someone crave for the same thing for lunch? That’s pretty much what happened Monday.

The fiance and I were off Monday, she asked me what I wanted to have for lunch so I immediately brought up the fact that I have been craving for some Cripsy Pata since last month. I remember writing about it on a post late one night. As soon as I blurted the words “Crispy Pata” she agreed to go right away. There is nothing like munching into that crispy skin after you dip it in some vinegar-soy sauce mix.

Anyway we were able to satisfy our crave at the Filipiniana Restaurant in Niles, Il.

We ordered Beef Kaldereta, Lumpiang Shanghai, Crispy Pata and Garlic Fried Rice.

The Filipiniana restaurant is a little bit more expensive than the other Filipino places in the area.  The bill came out to be $50.00 –  just for the two of us, but unlike most Filipino restaurants they are open on Mondays. It was so worth it to drive 25 miles for this meal. It’s amazing what a little oil, some heat, and a good sized pork knuckle can do to satisfay a need. Ask not what Crispy Pata can do for you… Enjoy the before and after pictures below.
