Longganisa Sorpresa on United St., Mandaluyong City!

Hubby and I had lunch at Longganisa Sorpresa in Mandaluyong with The Club as suggested by Frannywanny yesterday noon. To my foreign readers, longganisa is Filipino sausage.

Located along United St., it's that red and yellow building above.

Vinegar selection at Longganisa SorpresaUpon being seated, I noticed a rectangular basket holding five bottles of vinegar. You can choose which one (or two, three, four, five!) you want for dipping.

There's Sinamak, Pinakurat, Tuba, Paombong, and Sukang Iloko.

Sukang Iloko at Longganisa SorpresaI opted for Sukang Iloko upon Irene's recommendation. It's darker in color compared to the rest but it has a light, slightly sweet taste.

Long-si-log at Longganisa SorpresaHubby and I both ordered Longganisa Sorpresa's standard meal, Long-si-log, which consists of fried egg, garlic rice, your choice of longganisa, and a glass of iced tea for P99. I opted for Vigan longganisa and my meal included three pieces. There are about a dozen different types of longganisa you can choose from.

Vigan Longganisa had a very garlicky taste which I liked. It's also quite lean and meaty -- no telltale fatty bits or tough pieces of tendon/ligaments (litid) so it's all good. :)

Lucban Longganisa at Longganisa SorpresaThen I ordered extra longganisa because I wanted to try a different variant. For P35, I got three pieces of Lucban longganisa. It was more peppery in terms of flavor. Like Vigan Longganisa, it was lean and meaty. Overall, I was happy with both my choices.

Cabanatuan Longganisa at Longganisa SorpresaUnlike my picks, Cabanatuan longganisa was bigger (hence only two pieces) and it had a toasted sweet flavor. Hubby was happy with it though as he prefers longganisa that's on the sweet side.

Longganisa Sorpresa is a nice lunch place if you're working in the vicinity of Pioneer St., United St., etc. Meals are affordable and they also have other menu items like longganisa sisig and other non-sausage viands. It's located right across D'Ace Plaza which houses my favorite milk tea place, Share Tea! We actually crossed over to have a drink after our meal.
