Hearty Filipino rice porridge topped with crispy fried pork belly, green onions and a hard-boiled egg — Winnipeg comfort food for a Manitoba winter.
Lugaw is the bowl every Filipino household turns to when the weather bites or someone needs looking after — slow-simmered rice cooked down until it turns thick, savoury and silky. It is the Philippines’ answer to congee, and it travels remarkably well to a Winnipeg winter.
Our Crispy Pork Lugaw builds on that base with crispy deep-fried pork belly scattered over the top, fresh green onions, toasted garlic and a hard-boiled egg. The pork stays crunchy against the soft rice, which is exactly the contrast that makes this bowl worth ordering.
Lugaw holds its heat better than almost anything else on the menu, so it is one of the best things to order for delivery across Winnipeg. The crispy pork is added at the pass so it still has bite when the lid comes off.
