Hubby loved his Ultimate Empanada which has bagnet, longganisa, egg & veggies in it. I, on the other hand, had their Super Special Empanada which has 2 eggs, 2 longganisa & veggies. Loved their longganisa in the empanadas!
Their pinakbet also good, more tomato based than the bagoong based version. It has ginger and topped with big slices of bagnet.
I ordered ultimate empanada with extra cheese. What I love about this empanada variant is it's crispiness as well as how the longganisa, bagnet, egg and cheese compliment each other. It's love at first taste! ❤❤❤
A quick snack go to of ours when craving for vigan longganisa or ilocos bagnet. We also love the empanadas with longganisa, egg and cheese, not a classic because its served with cheese but its something delicious and a must try.
They also sell uncooked longganisa and bagnet and other delicasies from ilocos and vigan.
I love ilocos longganisa!!
We always eat here everytime we visit my ob when i was pregnant cause this is just a few walks away from the hospital.. now we eat here together with our baby..
Bagnet and longganisa combo meal is superb..
Place is quite small0
This is my siblings' favorite go-to place for night snacks. We started going to this place way back. The place looks a lot better now than before. I think this is proof that the restaurant is gaining popularity that it generates profit that allows them to renovate the place. Their empanadas are amazing! We always order the ultimate empanada, and it just makes us feel like winners. But yah, I know it's delicious but I prevent eating them now due to health concerns (I'm more health conscious than my siblings so we still come back, but I don't order anymore 😞) But still, for those who just want to try them or eat them ever once in awhile, then go for it!
When I crave for authentic Ilocos Norte empanada (because the Ilocos Sur version is different) Farina's is the go to joint.They also serve pancit bagnet,dinadakan,pinakbet ,igado and other northern dishes.
Prices are affordable and food tastes authentic Ilocano.
It's sometimes hard to get authentic Ilocano empanada in the metro, and sometimes you just simply get a hankering for this crispy treats. This place is situated almost across from Paranaque Doctors Hospital, and they are serving not only empanadas but also rice meals with iloacano dishes like dinakdakan, bagnet and poqui poqui. The place itself is small but cozy, with wallpapers of famous northern tourist destinations. There is almost no wait staff in this place, you just order from the food counter and they will serve you your dish once cooked. Drinks are self service even though you pay for your sodas at the counter but you have to get them yourself from the nearby refrigerator.
But first the emapanada, always cooked to order so when they served it, its really nicely crisp and hot from the frying pan. There are variants of the original recipe, from a vegetarian (no longanisa) variant to a double egg variant depending on how you like your filling. I also tried the Ilocos miki which is like their version of the famous Batchoy of the south. Very good to eat on a rainy day, very comforting and yummy, quite filling too. They also have a specialty here which is the bagnet pancit which I would love to try the next time I pass by this place.
The empanada alone can make this place a must go place all the time. I just wish they can open a branch near my house.
It is my first time to try the Ilocos empanada with bagnet. Of course my usual is the double special, two eggs and oh yes the papaya. I so love Ilocano foods and I would have to say that its good to have Farinas in our neighborhood. The bagnet is very authentic and is a perfect match for the papaya and eggs. It is also fried to crispness amd of course the sukang iloco for the win. 99 pesos is nkt bad for this rare delish. I will certainly be back for more of Farinas' menu.
