Love bangus? Now you’ll love it even more
By AJ Sison
Most Filipinos are innately bangus lovers. The simple fish is popular in the Philippines for its sweet milky taste as well as its texture that melts the moment it touches the mouth. The milkfish is abundant with nutrients and possesses various health benefits, making it the Philippines’ unofficial “national fish.” But who would have thought the scrumptious fish, a perennial favorite at most dinner tables, could get any better than its vinegar-marinated, plainly fried, stewed, or grilled form?
We can be meticulous about what we serve at our dinner table. But nothing compares to a whole serving of authentic Filipino comfort food, especially leveled up bangus with a different twist, unexpected flavors, original, cheese, inasal, salted egg, and spicy pares. Bang Bang Bangus offers fried boneless fish made more spectacular with its crisped flavorful surface and delicious meaty interior.
A take-out food kiosk specializing in large deboned fish, Bang Bang Bangus gently breads and deep fries its milkfish before being topped with unique spices. Each raw fish weighs 400 to 500 grams, ideal for sharing on occasions, special events, or as a viand for a family to enjoy every day.
The original flavor, a simple yet mouthwatering and delectable combination with fried garlic topping, remains to be the undefeated bestseller.
Cheese is added to the original mix to cater to cheese-loving patrons. The inasal flavor features a delightful combination of sweet and salty goodness finished with fried garlic.
Salted egg, which can be one of the inseparable side dishes for bangus meals, is the star of the salted egg sauce.
Of course, the newest addition to the roster is Spicy Pares, a one-of-a-kind flavor with an explosive blend of spicy, sweet, and salty.
The Bang Bang Special Crispy Bangus is an excellent experience to make anyone feel the taste of home.
Despite offering a wide variety of tastes, customers may still dip their fish in the brand’s unique vinegar to experience the familiar vinegar-marinated “daing na bangus” that many are used to.
What better way to welcome home family members during the approaching 'ber' months than by serving them their well-loved Pinoy comfort food?
Bang Bang has looked at extending its menu items ever since it first opened. It sells a somewhat scaled-down version of its Big Boneless Bangus in the same flavors called Bang Bang Junior. Additionally provided is Bangus Belly, which consists of two slices of the most delicate bangus belly cut. Customers can also select the Super Combo option, which includes half bangus and a side dish of vegetables. There’s also the Solo, a quarter bangus topped with inasal rice, an egg, and atsara.
Laing and Gising-gising, two of the vegetable options, are also available for single orders. Palabok was added to their menu, a great complement to Bang Bang Bangus. Essential condiments for these meals include Bang Bang Bomba (chili-garlic), Special Suka (Original, Sweet & Spicy, Soy Vinegar), Inasal, Oil, and Atsara.
What better way to welcome home family members in these “ber” months than by serving them their well-loved Pinoy comfort food? The Philippines’ “pambansang” isda is always worth coming home to.
