Willie’s Catering and Restaurant

Must try their binagoongan (crispy pork with bagoong on a bed of eggplant topped with mango, yum). Also loved the silky peanut sauce of their karekare and well seasoned bangus sisig. Leave room for the bibingka.

My family and I have been waiting for this place to open for a while now. The long awaited what is Willie's at the old KFC? My first visit here, and I was happy to be helped by Willie the owner himself. They had owned Hapag that was previously in St. Francis Square. We also, had the the pleasure of dealing with him there for a reception before. It was pretty busy when I had visited and there is a small seating area for dine in. It's similar to the layout od KFC that was previously there. They had ready made food and you can order combo plates. I was very thankful that Willie had taken the time for customers to try a sample of some of the items they had to offer. It was my first time trying dinakdakan. It was tasty but when I saw the menu I wanted to try the pork sisig. I ordered: 1. Combo menudo and dinuguan- I highly recommend both items. I think the dinuguan is offered daily? I forgot, I'm a little late to post my review. Both dishes were very tender and flavorful. The rice was cooked perfectly. 2. Pork sisig- This is cooked to order. I had high hopes for this, sadly it was a little too salty. I had to doctor this the next day and add some calamansi. 3. Butter toffee peanuts- This is addicting, once you start you can't stop. The texture reminded me of the nagaraya peanuts my dad used to love eating all the time. 4. Bibinka- Willie had me sample this and to be honest I was ready to buy it before the sample. It looked perfectly baked like it was smiling at you, telling me to take it home lol. It was soft and delicious. I did not want to share the 4 pack. Yes it was that good.. This place is open for turo turo (point point) ready cooked food Tuesday to Friday. 10am-6pm. Saturday and Sunday is open only for catering. I can't wait to come back and try their specialty, the lechon cebu. I'm not sure why the rating is low but I definitely recommend supporting your local Filipino community.

I ordered their popular Bellychon for Thanksgiving and it was the right choice! Crispy skin, tender meat, well seasoned.

Decided to try this restaurant. We ordered a couple of items to go. My husband ordered 2 items with rice, lechón and menudo. And I ordered, 2 items with rice, pinakbet and some lechón dish that was sweet. Very good. It was very tender everything. So tender, it got mom’s stamp of approval.

My friends and I were excited to find out this place finally opened. We had pinakbet and fried bangus steak, and another friend had the dinuguan. And for dessert we had the kutsinta. The main dishes were pretty delicious but the kutsinta was a bit too sweet and didn’t have the sprinkled dried coconut that could have balanced it off. Overall though, it was a great eating experience. We will be back for sure!!!! 👍
