The Black Pig ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

It's been a while since I traveled all the way to Alabang for food. And it's been an even longer while since I tried a restaurant on soft opening and enjoyed every dish we ordered. 

Thank you, Jane, for suggesting The Black Pig for our lunch date. :)

Love the blacks, grays, wood, and leather

Muchisimas gracias, The Black Pig, for the personalized welcome! :P

I normally snub bread baskets (clarification: my camera does, my mouth doesn't), 
but this delicious assortment deserves its own photo on the www! 

 

 

Like I said, everything we ordered I over-joyfully ate, from the amuse bouche to the last chocolate smear on the dessert plate. OMGGGGGGG THE DESSERTS!!!!!!!!

The amuse bouche of truffle tortellini was an explosion of earthiness and creaminess in my mouth

The Black Pig Charcuterie Board had seriously good meats:
Jamon Iberico de Cebo, Morcilla Iberico, Chorizo Iberico, Salchichon Iberico, Lomo Iberico.
I am not ashamed to admit I ate about 70% of this. And the cheeses, too. Lol!

The belly's beautiful layers were tender, almost milky. It went wonderfully with the very
sinful crisp-on-the-outside, gelatinous-on-the-inside decadent bone marrow chunks.
