Lavinia's secret recipe - Ugac

To improve their dining experience, they inquired about the availability of a dish I had in mind, but unfortunately it was not available (Jack Daniel ribs). However, my second choice was satisfying. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend trying the red tea, as it is quite sweet with a hint of tea flavor. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, just be prepared for a sugary treat. I may need to visit the dentist after all! (Just kidding).

We were escorted to this restaurant by our host. The interior is a bit on the small side, but the food was delicious! It was also very reasonably priced! We ordered the mouthwatering ribs for only 165 pesos! It was definitely worth it! The service was also good, although we had to wait a bit for our food to arrive, even though it was lunchtime.

Lavinia's secret recipe is one of my favorite restaurants (as well as my family's) here in my hometown of Tuguegarao! We frequent this place on weekends. The owners, Chef Lavinia Lavadia Fernando and Ray Lagundi, are good friends who have a passion for cooking and business. They offer a variety of dishes such as burgers, pastas, and rice meals that cater to the taste and budget of the locals. My personal favorite is the sizzling bulalo - tender meat cooked in its juices and served with Java rice, corn, and carrots. Another popular dish (which my mother loves) is the Juicy Lucy - a half-pound burger patty topped with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, bacon, and house dressing, served with homemade fries. My husband's favorite is the Cheesy Beefy - beef slices topped with red bell peppers, mushrooms, and melted cheese. Other menu items include bark kebab, linguine carbonara, Asian ribs, bier ribs, and chili ribs. For dessert, don't miss the turon with peanut butter, chalk killer ice cream, and Malteser's pie.

To make your eating experience enjoyable, ask what they do have as the thing I was after was not available (Jack Daniel ribs), but my secondary choice was well worth it.If you need a sugar rush ask for the Red Iced Tea, all you taste is sugar with a hint of tea........ going to the dentist to have my teeth removed (joke).

Our host accompanied us to this place. The area is a bit small but the food was really good! Plus, it was affordable too! We had mouth-watering ribs for just 165 pesos!It was so worth it!Service is also good. Didn't have to wait too long for our food despite being there for lunch.
