Review: Sonsi House of Authentic Native Longganisa

I said that I didn’t want this to become just another food review blog. But when you’re given a great deal to a really nice place, how can you not tell other people about it?

So I’ve been a member of Salamat.ph since they started around March. I’ve seen great deals being offered, grabbed coupons I liked, but was always reluctant to actually use one because the featured restaurants and shops were just too far. So imagine my excitement when I saw that they featured Sonsi: House of Authentic Native Longganisa—which is just a short walking distance from my current workplace.

Needless to say, I had to try it. The place was ideally located, and the deal was great—buy 1 take 1 for ALL their meals. I invited a friend to try out the place, with the condition that I will buy her lunch (because contrary to popular belief, I can’t finish two meals in one sitting all the time).

When we got there, the place was totally empty. A few minutes later, it struck me that it’s usually an inuman place, so there really wouldn’t be that many people in day time as there would at night. I wasn’t disappointed or anything that it was empty—just surprised that’s it.

So for the food. I ordered my favorite Cebu longganisa because it’s sweet. We asked for their bestseller and that was what my friend ordered—Alaminos longganisa. The meals came with fried egg and a drink, so the deal was really a steal.

I loved my meal and finished it within minutes. Haha. Alaminos longganisa tasted a little sour and very garlicky. I liked it too, but I usually like my longganisa sweet. They have a few more choices for you if you plan to try something new.

I plan to go back there again with E sometime this week and try probably Lucban or Vigan—which I hear is another bestseller.
