Buboy in the Monkland Village feels less like a restaurant and more like a family kitchen in the best of ways. Chef-owner Eric Lozaro Magno runs the 15-seat eatery with his sister Yvonne, cousin Glen, and close family friend Gayle to offer a space inspired by OG carinderias of the Philippines. It's a mom-and-pop-and-family spot that's all about comforting, slow-cooked Ilocano dishes.
Eric’s menu honours his roots and his Pangasinan heritage. Dishes like laing, a taro leaf and coconut stew, or the meticulously prepared lechon have deep family ties, from hand-blended banana vinegar to scratch-made Mang Tomas liver sauce. Filipino classics shine during Buboy’s weekend all-you-can-eat brunch, featuring longganisa sausage, tortang talong eggplant omelettes, and seared tocino chicken.
