Necessity is the mother of invention, who would have known that the
cravings of two friends would turn into a multi-million peso business. The
Department of Tourism (DoT) definitely took cognizance of the growth in
production of Bagnet in Ilocos Norte. That's why visitors always find time to order and taste delicious and crunchy BAGNET that would surely put them on cloud nine.

With the Philippines over 1700 islands and the Filipino ingenuity and
creativity in the concoction of the several versions of Bagnet came to
existence. Bagnet takes time to prepare, Pork Liempo otherwise known as Pork
belly a choice cut is used its usually the side called 3 layers. These choice cuts from a young pork are
marinated in a secret sauce. It's the secret behind the aroma that makes it
irresistible. Placed in an iron pot to boil. Deep fried in a vegetable oil
until bubbles appears, while the skin becomes crispier due to repeated deep
frying at least 20 minutes apart. Some prefer to serve it with the
hot sauce together with liver sauce. Beer lovers please take note take control
of your cravings otherwise you might forget your name afterwards. And another
caution please take Selfie.. because Bagnet is so delicious and crunchy to the last bite and you might even forget your name (Joke only).
Some serve it with a healthy sauce and side dish. Stoops offers
several side dishes like a combination of the following: Kamote
tops, Bagoong, Kamatis and Lasuna (native onion) full of anti-oxidant
properties just to counter so called UMAY taste. STOOPS offers several side
dishes to suit your healthy choices. A golden brown texture and aromatic
taste is a testimony to the fresh and that right ingredient that STOOPS

I had the pleasure of eating bagnet at Kuya J's in SM City Iloilo. Munching on the crispy skin and the soft, chewy flesh inside is a delightful experience. My husband and I prefer to use sinamak as sawsawan for our bagnet.
