Rice Bowls
Salo BGC's Rice Bowls are their version of the Pinoy classic breakfast meals, the silog. These all-day breakfast meals are primarily designed for office workers in the BGC area looking for an affordable but delightful meals at anytime of the day. Mostly ranging from P130-P150, the Rice Bowls are really a value-for-money meals. Rice Bowls are ideal for individuals or small groups.
During our visit, we sampled the Tapsilog (P140.00) and the Tuyosilog (P145.00). The tapa made of tenderloin beef was tender to the bite. It has a sweet-savory taste reminiscent of Batangas-style tapa. The Tuyosilog comes with the classic dried fish which is always perfect with vinegar. Other choices include Longsilog, Tocilog, Bangusilog, Pork Binagoongan, Bicol Express, Beef Pares, Crispy Liempo, Bistek Tagalog, and Lechon Belly. If you want to give yourself a fancy treat, you might want to try the Steaksilog (P215.00).

Salo-Salo
The Salo-Salo plates are ideal for bigger groups like families or office teams. Each serving costs between P215-P225 and is big enough for three to four persons. A cup of steamed rice costs P25.00 while garlic rice costs P35.00 per cup. During our visit, Salo BGC had us sample their Bistek Tagalog (P225.00) and Binagoongan (P215.00). The beef chunks in the bistek were tender and we liked its thick sauce with plain rice. It's very savory but the taste is not tiring.

The pork binagoongan had a generous serving of pork and eggplants in a sauce that is not overpowered with bagoong flavor. Tama lang ang timpla. The pork was tender while the eggplants were not overcooked. Other Salo-Salo plates options are Bicol Express and Lechon Belly (250g). For a more festive meal, there's Crispy Pata (P390.00). There's also rice platters that's perfect with the Salo-Salo plates, such as Adobo Rice (185.00), Aligue Rice (P200.00) and Longa Rice (P170.00).

Anti-Hangover Meals
After an evening of drinking like there's no tomorrow, no need to go further as Salo BGC also offers Anti-Hangover Meals that will sure cure your weekend hangover problems. We don't know the exact science behind it, but Pinoy drinking culture says it works, haha. It was a rainy afternoon when we visited, hangover aside, we enjoyed sharing a bowl of piping hot Goto (P95.00). Other choices are Lomi, Batchoy, Pansitan, and an interesting creation, the Longaburger.
