  • The Pig Pen in Nuvali Sta. Rosa: A Festivity of International Flavors
  • Everything is about quality in The Pigpen.

    Its modern restaurant bar is a cozy place perfect for lunch, dinner, and drinks. Its low-lit atmosphere accompanied by acoustic songs in the background gives you a relaxed vibe while indulging with your favorite drinks and Asian dishes. It offers familiar yet completely different experience as they continue to experiment and give every plain and dull dish a new, and flavorful twist.

    The Pig Pen Café also has a selection of craft breweries available such as Crazy Carabao and Pedro Brewcrafters of Laguna, Monkey Eagle of Tagaytay, and Turning Wheels and Cebruery of Cebu among others. Cocktails popular at the Black Pig are also being offered in this restaurant such as the sangria and calamansi mojito. For non-alcoholic beverages, The Pig Pen offers natural juices and locally blended coffees roasted by Yardstick Coffee.

    The restaurant’s playful name is derived from the Black Pig, the first ever restaurant the same team put up back in 2013. Following its success, they decided to put up a new one, bringing with them the brand “pig” and coming up with a playful yet innovative title which is now The Pigpen, where Pig means festivity and pen means a place to gather and celebrate. 

    Grilled Tamarind Chicken Php 410

    One highly recommended dish to share here in The Pigpen is their Grilled Tamarind Chicken (P410). The chicken is marinated in lemongrass, coriander, and black peppercorn and is served with tamarind and chives sauce; a perfect pair for a tamarind pisco cocktail!

    Pork Belly with Kimchi Rice Bowl Php 290

    For porks, their famous juicy slices of Pork Belly with Kimchi Rice Bowl (P290) is a familiar dish with a different combination. The contrasting taste of the kimchi adds a little spice to the pork belly and is perfectly paired with their flavorful rice. If you’re eyeing a more healthy dish, the European Salad is the best one for you. It is a Mediterranean mix of tomatoes, croutons, cucumber, radish and olives topped with grated parmesan cheese. They offer non-organic (P280/380) and organic (P340/490) plate of salad and you can choose between the solo or for sharing.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
