Last Saturday 11 November 2017, I went to Bangui, Ilocos Norte and had my lunch at Kangkang Windmill Cafe. The cafe is located near the scenic and famous windmills along Bangui Bay and if you are traversing the national highway (AH26) you will see signages pointing you to this hidden cafe at Brgy. Barruyen (map photo below):
The weather that time was humid and windy, plus its already 12 noon so its time for my lunch and my body clock never failed to remind me :-) The menu is pretty standard which include rice meals, viands famous to Ilocos like bagnet (deep fried pork), pakbet (mixed filipino vegetables), fruit shakes and sandwiches.
I ordered buko (young coconut) shake that exceeded my expectation. It was creamy, not too sweet and of course lots of buko meat.
For my meal, I had cheese and bacon sandwich and potato fries. The sandwich also has tomato, cucumber and mayonnaise. The star in my plate was the potato fries, it was made from fresh cut potatoes and deep fried. Its a little bit crispy outside yet still soft and moist on the center. Compared to fast food or store brought frozen variety, this potato fries from Kangkang Windmill Cafe is miles ahead in terms of flavor and taste.
Now, what would I change? maybe serve the fries with paper towel underneath to absorb the excess oil and few sprinkle of salt to enhance flavor.
As a whole, my meal was good and looking forward to eat again at Kangkang Windmill Cafe.
