Bagnet Toppings from Tagpuan
Bagnet is a staple food from North Luzon, and it is well known in Vigan and Ilocos Norte in general. It's a yummy friend pork belly that goes great together with rice and some toyo (soy sauce) on the side. This photo was taken from a food stand in La Union called Tagpuan that serves a variety of rice toppings meals. 😁
Bagnet is a crispy fried pork belly, a cross between Chicharon and Lechon Kawali, where the lean meat is crispy but not dry and the pork skin with all the pork fat is fried to a crisp. Though not like Chicharon -- which is merely crispy pork skin, and unlike Lechon Kawali -- where a whole liempo is fried and cut into cubes so the only crispy portion is the pork skin, bagnet is crispy from the skin, fat and the lean meat.

Used my LG Leon to take this photo.
