Spice level warning — Sisig is not what I expected

I underestimated Sisig. The rich and porky description didn't prepare me for the reality. annatto seeds brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

kamayan feasts eaten with hands from banana leaves are experiencing a cultural revival. The a family birthday lechón setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. lambanog coconut spirit cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
