Bacolod City foodtrip: Mushu

Have you ever tasted a pancit canton with grilled liempo?  How about lechon inside a pita bread?  At Mushu in Bacolod City, you’ll be able to try all these and more! 

Dinner at Mushu was a pleasant surprise and I’m glad we made this the first stop in our Bacolod foodtrip.   At first I was a bit hesitant to eat here, thinking that the food is too pricey for my travel budget but surprisingly it’s not.  Though the price is above average, it still is affordable enough given their generous servings. 

The chic atmosphere of the place plus the artsy decors is a big plus for me.  And their food is definitely something to rave about. 


There’s the Pancit Canton with inihaw pork belly, chicken, grandpa's egg and and fried bread.  I’m not really a fan of pancit canton so I thought I would only eat a few bites but when I saw the toppings, I couldn’t wait to devour it.  It tasted just as good as it looked! 

Mushu’s chicken curry is another dish that I liked. It is spicy just the way I like it. The Indian spices is so distinct which makes the dishy very tasty.

pita bread to go with my chicken curry :)
Pritchon pancakes is lechon, cucumber inside a pita bread to be dipped in hoisin sauce.  I don’t really know why it’s called pancakes when it’s really not.  This dish gives a different twist to Filipino’s beloved lechon.  Just when you thought there’s no other way to cook lechon, here comes another variation.

There wasn’t much room in our stomach for dessert and we still had leftovers so we skipped that part of the meal and just headed back to the hotel. 

Though I’m no food expert, I still want to give a personal rating on my overall dining experience at Mushu.
