TRIED AND TASTED: ISAW BY LOLA OTE

When I crave street food but don't feel like pedestrian dining, I go to Lola  Ote's where barbecued street food are served churrasco style inside an airconditioned establishment. My favorite is the pork isaw (intestines), round bits of intestinal muscles, fat and mucosa marinated in  sweet soy and grilled in high heat that turns some parts into toasty bits.  I like it because there's no bitter aftertaste and it's not dry, the way most neighborhood barbecue stalls tend to grill theirs.

On the right is the isaw, beside it is the barbecued tenga (ears). The fat is tender and heart-clogging but the cartilege isn't boiled to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
