GenSan’s best goat menu at Kambingan sa Depot
One of General Santos City’s best-kept secrets is this simple, nondescript eatery well-hidden inside a family compound along the main road going to Barangay Bula.
If you’re the type who craves goat dishes but abhors the “smell” that some locals go for, then “KAMBINGAN SA DEPOT” is right for you.
As it name says in Tagalog, “KSD” is located right across the fuel depot of a major oil player. It has already attracted a sizeable number of loyal clients that according to Its owners, Joel and Emma Sarenas, all their cooked dishes are usually sold out before 2pm. (Joel prepares the dishes himself.)
On weekdays when offices within their vicinity are open, they slaughter 3 goats at the least. Compared to other restaurants in GenSan which also offer goat fare, KSD serves out more variety.
Consider these:
Kaldereta (goatmeat cooked in tomato sauce & pineapple juice with potatoes), Sinampalukan (broth with goatmeat tenderized & flavored with sampalok fruit), Sisig (a spicy Pampango dish of mixed goat meat & facial parts & soft tendons), Papait (bitter soup with healthy serving of entrails), Adobo (the traditional pinoy dish panfried with barely any sauce), Kilawin (chopped grilled goatmeat mixed with onions, radish, cucumber and dashed with hot hot chili).
On certain days, Joel even serves natural viagra dish, SOUP #5 containing goat balls(!).
Here are pics of two of my favorites:
PAPAIT
KALDERETA
