Prep time takes about 30-45mins.
 *Frm Wiki Crispy pata is a Filipino dish consisting of deep fried pig trotters or knuckles served with a soy-vinegar dip. It can be served as party fare or an everyday dish. Many restaurants serve boneless pata as a specialty.*
 Really lovely crispy pork and pairs well with the vinegar dip. The vinegar isn't over powering and the pickled onions which its served together with, is absolutely perfect. One of the two iconic Filipino dishes that I always go for. The second being their fried chickens. Its really quite unique with its crisp, and buttery, fluffy exteriors. (Any where would be just as good or you can try their Jolly Bee Chain. Click here for Fried Chicken Joint Wing Man in MNL reviewed here.) 

This dish is worth the try and definitely needs to be shared. Served with garlic rice, and like all things, enjoyed fresh out of the frier. Same same, but different from the other pork kuckles reviewed below. In my opinion, the crisp level is comparable to the European counterparts and the meat maybe just as tender as those in Hofbrauhaus Munchen. The sauces definitely brings a local flavor to it.

Staff were really helpful in coordinating orders. They can have it delivered to the room/lounge or even downstairs restaurant.
