<\/p>\nKusina Felicitas started in 2004 as one of three restaurants housed at Grandpa\u2019s Inn. The boom of tourists going to Vigan prompted the owners of Granpas\u2019 Inn to open up a restaurant that gave their guests a true Ilocandia experience. The name comes from the owner\u2019s mother and mentor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBlast from the past\u201d is the best way of describing Kusina Felicitas. Stepping through their doors takes you back to 18th<\/sup> century, with the restaurant retaining the same 18th<\/sup>-century materials used during the construction of the building it\u2019s housed in.<\/p>\n Their dishes are inspired by other parts of Ilocandia (Abra, Ilocos Norte, La Union, Benguet, Kalinga, Cagayan, Apayao, and other towns in Ilocos Sur), giving customers a truly inclusive Ilocandia experience.<\/p>\n One of their best dishes is something that\u2019s unique to Ilocos Sur: the Pipian na Manok<\/em> (chicken pipian, <\/em>P180). It\u2019s a dish that\u2019s best described as kare-kare <\/em>with a hint of sinigang<\/em>. The soup\u2019s consistency is similar to that of sinigang, <\/em>but the ingredients themselves resemble kare-kare, <\/em>all except for the use of chicken and pasotes<\/em> leaves (a tree found only in Ilocos Sur).<\/p>\n SINANGLAO (P190). If you\u2019re looking for a soup dish, then this one is for you. The people of Vigan love their sinanglao.<\/em><\/p>\n No trip to Ilocos is complete without eating two of the region\u2019s signature dishes: pinakbet <\/em>and bagnet<\/em>. However, who has the time to take in just one of these meals? Kusina Felicitas solve this by combining these two into a simple yet hearty serving of Pinakbet <\/em>with Bagnet<\/em>\u00a0(P180), <\/em>a combination of the region\u2019s best and most-loved dishes.<\/p>\n You can find Kusina Felicitas at G\/F, Grandpa\u2019s Inn, #1 Bonifacio St. cor.
