What started as a simple road-side restaurant became the popular food destination in El Nido called Tambok\u2019s<\/strong>. Taking its name from the Filipino word for “big tummy”, Tambok\u2019s will surely fill your bellies without hurting your wallets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first location of Tambok\u2019s was along the main road of Taytay-El Nido National Highway where they became known for their simple yet delicious <\/span>Chicken Inasal (Php 130)<\/b>, of which they believe is made using the original recipe from Bacolod.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also tried the <\/span>Laswa<\/b> (<\/strong>Php\u00a0<\/b><\/span>130), <\/b>a water-based vegetable soup in lemongrass and ginger broth served in its cooking pot to keep its distinctive veggie flavor hot and fresh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another dish we fell in love with is their extraordinary take on pancit<\/em> wherein they used buko<\/em> or coconut meat! Get the freshness and additional zing of their <\/span>Pancit Buko (Php\u00a0<\/b>1<\/b>70<\/strong>)<\/b> by adding the calamansi!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another staple to try out here and probably one you can try with your pancit<\/em> is their <\/span>Lechon Kawali (Php\u00a0150)<\/b>, a surprisingly juicy and crispy meat that you can opt to dip in either soy sauce, chili, calamansi mixture or the sweet pork liver sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

End a filling meal with their selection of desserts like the <\/span>Turon with Salted Caramel (Php\u00a0115), <\/b>a fried banana wrapped in rice paper, that will definitely make you come back for more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sweet and juicy banana well complements the salted caramel drizzle and is definitely a perfect meal ender!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tambok’s has been acquired by PIOPIO, by Paloma and Beatriz Zobel, also manages Jungle Bar in\u00a0Lio Estate. From their original location\u00a0along Taytay-El Nido National Highway, Tambok’s by PIOPIO<\/strong> will soon open in Kalye Artisano in Lio Tourism Estate,\u00a0El Nido, Palawan.<\/p>\n

Watch this space for their grand opening this 2020!<\/em><\/p>\n
