Bacayons Chibugan — Restaurant in Surrey

Decided to try this place out before leaving back to the states. I'm so glad this was our last meal in Canada. It is a small place with about 7 small tables that will fit 2 ppl comfortably. 3 is pushing it. You order your food at the front counter, take a table and wait for the dishes to arrive. We order the sizzling sisig. Hot and sizzling with an egg on top to mix and a chili on the side just for me to cut up and eat with it. The sisig was crispy and flavorful. Great portion and the two of us ate it up. We also ordered the beef pares. So tender and a little fatty. The chili helped with the richness. Also, we ordered the bbq pork stick silog. My hubby ate that one up. Didn't even get a chance to try it (rude, I know right? lol!). The lumpian shanghai looked like the ones your grandma, mom, and aunties make for parties. Perfectly one bite pieces. If we are in Canada again, this will definitely be a stop we will make as our first and last...

Ordered Beef Pares Silog. While it was alright, the supposed fried rice was just steamed rice sprinkled with toasted garlic. I'm yet to eat a proper garlic fried rice at a Filipino restaurant here in Canada. Although they never advertised it as "fried rice", too bad because a lot of their delicious offerings is better enjoyed with fried rice. After all, the term "silog" implies "fried rice". Ordered via Doordash and five minutes after it was ready so that was a plus.

Edit: came back to eat in, not a good experience. It's so smoky inside. They should use their kitchen exhaust or invest in one.

Furthermore, I ordered their mami (beef noodle). Wasn't impressed. They also used wonton noodles in the mami which is not normally used for this dish and frankly it doesn't work with the dish either, and what I had was just not good altogether. But ultimately, I sadly did not enjoy my experience...

I recently had the pleasure of trying this restaurant's food through DoorDash, and I’m so grateful for that option, as I had been settling for some less impressive Filipino food in Burnaby. I ordered their Sisig Silog and Pancit Bihon.

The Sisig was a bit saltier than I prefer, but it was truly delicious. The crispiness and thank god it was NOT OILY AT ALL were exactly what I was hoping for, and while there was something missing flavor-wise to fully qualify it as traditional Sisig, the texture and freshness made up for it.

On the other hand, the Pancit Bihon was absolutely outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had in Vancouver. Having moved from Winnipeg, my standards for Filipino food have been quite high, and I had been disappointed with many options here. But this place has definitely earned a spot on my list of go-to restaurants. Highly...
