- Food Travel Log
- Found cheap and delicious offal! Isaw Baboy, grilled pork intestines. Equivalent to Japanese Shiro Hormone. With a light bite, the meat juices burst out like fruit, mixing with the sweet and spicy sauce. It’s like eating slow-cooked motsunabe. This deliciousness for about 60 yen is surprising. The Philippines has captured my stomach, just like the offal (motsu)!

- Isaw baboy is a popular street food in the Philippines that can be easily enjoyed at stalls around town. It consists of pig intestines skewered and slowly grilled over charcoal, which concentrates the flavors and combines perfectly with a special sweet and savory grilled sauce to create an exquisite taste. In fact, pig offal is favored in the Philippines for promoting internal organ health, supplying collagen, and serving as a stamina-boosting ingredient. The history of this dish began as a local effort to utilize the entire animal without waste. It is cherished by tourists as a local delicacy at the stalls in Burnham Park. Its wallet-friendly pricing is attractive, but for those like the author who cannot resist a good deal, why not take on the challenge of trying other parts of the pig beyond intestines? This will surely expand the author’s appetite! Just like offal.
