Nong Chinoy - Home of Various Chinese and Pinoy Delicacies!

Nong Chinoy Restaurant near LRT Libertad Station

It had been almost two years since I started exploring the foodie world thru this blog, and I can't put into words how thankful I am for your continuous support!

Anyway, just recently I was invited once more to try a food place called Nong Chinoy near LRT Libertad Station. Honestly, I was really reluctant to check the place out due to my unfamiliarity of the area, but I felt like I was obligated to explore that part of the metro. Hence, I accepted the invite and checked the restaurant out!

Karaoke Nights are possible here in Nong Chinoy!

A Little Something about Nong Chinoy
Nong Chinoy is a humble restaurant inside Victory Mall near the Libertad Station of LRT. It has a simple interior with dim lights. Seating capacity is just limited but may cater to about 30 to 50 people.

The restaurant offers a well-diversified menu with food cuisine ranging from Chinese to Filipino (including various provincial delicacies). In order for you to have a clearer picture, why don't I share with you the photo of the menu?

Nong Chinoy's Full Menu

Frankly, I'm not really a fan of diverse menu because I easily get overwhelmed. Also, I prefer those places that specialize on a few but unique and amazing dishes. I don't know, but I really find that appealing.

Now that you have an idea about Nong Chinoy, let' s now take a look at the food!

Pancit Habhab || P78

Pancit Habhab of Nong Chinoy

Served with an authentic sukang Iloco, this Pancit Habhab came in with bountiful meat and veggies. Considering the price, I would say that this is already "sulit" (although I found the taste somewhat near regular).

Ilocos Bagnet || P128

Single serving with drink and unlimited rice

The liempo-looking bagnet of Nong Chinoy

Even though I wasn't able to appreciate the appearance of this bagnet (since it looked more like an ordinary liempo), I found the taste good enough. Plus, I find the two sauces that went with it interesting namely the sukang Iloco and the bagoong Balayan.

Taro Milk Tea (P58) and Blue Lemonade (P38)

The drinks here in Nong Chinoy are simple and traditional; however, to go with the bandwagon, they are also serving some affordable milk teas!


Ilocos Dinakdakan || P108

Nong Chinoy's own version of Dinakdakan 

The Dinakdakan of Nong Chinoy is not the usual one that I'm familiar with. Instead of being diced, the sisig appeared as "strips". Anyway, the taste leaned more towards the regular sisig with slight creaminess coming from the mayonnaise, which I found interesting and nicely done!

Nong Chinoy's Special Chicken || P88

Single serving with drink and unlimited rice

The hybrid chicken of Nong Chinoy

I call this a hybrid chicken because it tastes like Max's chicken and something else (i.e. has a mild lemon grass zest)! Also, it comes with 2 dips (banana catsup and liver sauce) for the flexibility of the taste. 

I would say that this is "sulit" because you only need to pay up P88 for this size of chicken, a drink and an unli rice.

Pancit Sisig *New*

The soon-to-be-released Pancit Sisig!

Nong Chinoy has been innovating Filipino dishes and recently came up with this creation - Pancit Sisig! 

Luckily, I got the honor of tasting the dish before the release, and I must say that it was really nice with its tasty potent flavor! However, you need to pair this up with something because it has an "umay factor". 

Dried Pusit w/ Unlimited Rice and Drink || P58 

The surprisingly affordable meal - Dried Pusit dish! 

I have been craving for something different, so I decided to have this dried pusit - and I loved it! The squid was really tasty with prominence of saltiness (a natural effect of the drying process). Unfortunately, the squid was not crunchy the way I visualized it to be, but I didn't mind it that much.

Crispy Leche Flan ala Mode || P48

Interestingly sweet dessert of Nong Chinoy - Crispy Leche Flan

Alright, we've reached almost the end of the blog post, so here's the dessert I had - Crispy Leche Flan!

Interestingly, I found the dessert really lovely with its great blend of the sugar glaze, the leche flan and the ube ice cream! For the price of P48, I think it's a good dessert to order!

Coco Jam with Pili Nuts || P220

Coco Jam with Pili Nuts by Nong Chinoy

Surprisingly, Nong Chinoy also retails some special Filipino delicacies such as this Jam with Pili Nuts (to name one), sauces and more! I haven't tried this product yet, but I'll update this portion when I do!
