604: Epic Grill Silog (New Westminster)

Updated: May 31, 2021

Went food venturing again and I tried this Filipino restaurant that specializes silogs. I ordered the three silog combos, which apparently certain silogs cannot be paired in the combo (think it has to do with the cost?), but the boss was so sweet! He said he'd do it for me. I think they were just really pleased to see how passionate I am about their culture and were eager to try out their cuisine. Here I have the Tapa, Bang silog, and Biya silog. I like the Biya silog most - it's ultra crispy. The owner warned me multiple times that there are small little bones in it, but I hardly noticed it. The Bang Silog really caught me by surprise since it's a bit savory but mostly tangy. Not saying it's bad but it's just not what I was expecting, that's all!

Out of everything, my favorite was the dessert!!!! The sansrival was soooo good! The classic flavor is the owner's favorite, and it tasted like the Sawdust Pudding from Macau but in a solid form with a beautiful crunch from the meringue and cashew. My favorite, however, was the UBE SANSRIVAL! I loved the ube aroma and it married well with the pistachio. It's crunchy, it's light and not too sweet with a touch of saltiness. How tasty is it exactly? Tasty enough for me to add this to my copy-cat-bucket-list

Thank you @missy604_rn for recommending this place to me!

Update: I went back and tried a new flavor and it's equally amazing! Their hazelnut Sansrival was made out of hazelnut and Nutella flavor. I also tried the Ube Sansrival with coconut shredding but didn't like that as much.
