Barkada Grill - Central — Restaurant in Red Deer

I appreciate the food that we ordered at Barkada Grill. This is not our first time here, but it's our first time ordering @mike_life_travels comfort food. The saltiness and sourness of sinigang is how Mike wanted for his sinigang. KARENDERYA style ☺️ They did not skimp with their ingredients. They used pork liempo instead of pork kasim or pige. As a bonus, they even gave us free sabaw to take home because we couldn't finish the whole order.

The monggo with fried bangus is another delight. I seldom fry fish at home, and whenever I cook ginisang monggo, it's always partnered with something fried like bangus or galungong. Thanks to our local store in Edmonton, we can buy fish and have them clean and fry it too.

The BBQ and Pansit combo that I ordered is very sulit to the last bite. For under $20, I have 2 sticks of pork BBQ (or chicken), 2 spring rolls, and a good portion of Pansit Bihon-Canton. I had to order a side dish of plain rice because of the sinigang and besides.. Being Asian and Filipino, who does not eat their pansit with rice? 😂

Although some may taste the food maalat "salty", especially if their customer is someone like my dad whose taste bud is always "ang alat or ang tamis" naman nyan 😆 🤣 but at least we didn't have to eat the sinigang with patis and sili which is a common condiment for sinigang.

Anyways, thank you for the food. There was a minor mishap with my order, that's why we had to wait longer than expected, but the food was worth...

I am from Nova Scotia and visited friends from Calgary. We went for a long drive and came across this Filipino restaurant in Red deer to end our day trip. Thanks to Trixie & Divine for a great dining experience. Of course, the Chef and whole kitchen cook authentic Filipino food to the highest level. "Laing" was savory and creamy, topped with chilli for option to make it spicy. "Sisig" OmG , its hard to justify by just words - you have to really try! Crispy pata was so crispy , so good with of coursedippingsauce vinegar on its side. Service was not great but EXCELLENT! Trixie & Divine was just amazing. They really took care of us and did an extra mile. Did great suggestions. Constantly checking on us. Place was clean too from table to washroom. Spotless! Of course, THE FOOD was delicious - LAING , SISIG & CRISPY PATA! Chef and kitchen team, you did a great food out there. Keep it up! That was a very pleasant dining experience by far. You guys should be proud of what you do!!!...

Favorite Filipino restaurant to dine out here in Red Deer City, Alberta! I love their service, very respectful and the friendly servers often offer recommendations on what to order from the menu. They serve very quick as well. I love their sisig (chopped crispy grilled pork with ginger, lemon, chilies & a fried egg topping) and their fish singing (sour fish soup). My wife loves their fried daing na bangus (butterfly filleted milkfish marinated in garlic, coconut vinegar, salt & chili) and Kare-kare (beef oxtail with sweet/spicy peanut sauce with steamed eggplant/string beans/banana flower, bock choy & with a shrimp paste dip). I'm not even going to start with the desserts, hahaha.... (halo-halo... leche flan...) We'll return here to get our fill of Pinoy food.
