Buendia Food By The Court: Barrel Smoker

In less than a year, Buendia Food by the Court has already established itself as a favorite foodie destination and hangout in Makati City. Launched early this year by SUDECO, the unique food park, which also houses a basketball court, started out with 13 merchants. Today, BFBTC has a total of 27 merchants serving a variety of unique, mouthwatering food concepts. The first of its kind in Makati, Buendia Food by the Court is an extensive food park with its own basketball court, located conveniently in the middle of the metro. 

Whether you want to burn a few calories post binge, work up an after-game appetite, or you simply want to chill with friends in a hip, laid back environment that just happens to offer some of the best grub in the city, BFBTC is your best bet. Buendia Food by the Court, with its wide variety of curated food options, has something for everyone. 

I've featured and introduced Buendia Food by the Court in another post, which you can read here: Buendia Food by the Court: Food, Fun, and Basketball, and the next few blog posts will focus on each of the food stalls that we tried that afternoon. 

One of the stalls that we tried that afternoon is Barrel Smoker. It is one of the stalls at BFBTC that offers grilled items. Barrel Smoker established its first smoked ribs shack back in April of 2016 and offers exclusively smoke and grilled meats with Western flavors, priding itself its pure raw barbecue slow-smoking method of cooking. 

We tried their best-sellers which includes the Smoked Peri-Peri Chicken which is a Portuguese descent prepared the Barrel Smoker way, a must try and comes with Turmeric rice. I love the chicken skin on this because it was super flavorful and so was the meat. The turmeric rice is also nice. 

The Smoked Riblets are pork ribs with Memphis dry rub, Hickory sauce and also comes with turmeric rice. These southern-style ribs are smoked for five hours which makes them tender and tasty. You can tell that it is so as the meat has absorbed all that wood flavor. The sauce that covers the ribs is sweet and tangy.

Besides the smoked and grilled meats, Barrel Smoker also offers Pork Sandwich, Tri-Sausage Aglio Olio, Pulled Pork Nachos, Smoked Chicken Lollipop and Blue Lemonade.
