100% authentic, and jam-packed with happy diners, Chibog is a humble little restaurant that is taking Dubai by storm with its super-delicious Filipino dishes!

While take-away and delivery are humming away in the background, the dishes served at the table are obviously created by a talented team in the kitchen.

It’s one thing to know how to follow recipes in a commercial kitchen, but it’s totally another universe to know how to create culinary masterpieces with simply amazing flavor palettes!

I’m not quite familiar with Filipino cuisine, but I’m surely a big fan now I’ve tasted Chibog!

In fact, the monkfish came butterflied and grilled to perfection, and then topped with a tangy salsa-like melange of ripe mango, red onions, tomatoes, and the blessing of a vibrant tangy vinaigrette!

And that was just one of the dishes!

A healthy-looking, deep-green flash-fried dish of kangkong (water spinach) accompanied the fish spectacularly well, with its golden crispy fried garlic, and underlying salty sauce.

And then Sinigang Na Baka made a grandiose entrance, like a diva!

It is an unforgettable soup – a hearty stock combined with tart tamarind – and in this case, built on bone-in beef ribs.

I will just say this is a soup I will remember forever, and seek out at every opportunity I’ll hopefully have in the future!

If you are not familar with it, I advise you to immediately, this very instant, make a plan to visit Chibog!

Overall, if you want to try authentic – and super delicious – Filipino dishes in Dubai, look no further than Chibog restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers district. And for the Kabayan community in UAE, your home cooking away from home is there waiting to welcome you.
