Cansi is the Ilonggo’s version of bulalo or boiled bone-in beef shank which come with the customary cardiac delight bone marrow. In Bacolod City cansi is synonymous to Sharyn’s Cansi House. Sharyn’s cansi is considered as the best-tasting in Bacolod City.
When I transferred here in Bacolod five years ago, it was the food destinations that I immediately wanted to explore and discover. Usually, the best place to find the culinary havens are not at the malls or at the posh business centers. You can find the best local cuisines at the public market or at the places where common folks would frequent.
Experience the best bulalo in Bacolod at Sharyn’s located at Narra Avenue, Bacolod City at the Chinatown of Bacolod City, the Capitol Shopping Center or most commonly referred to as Shopping.
A serving of Sharyn’s cansi is already good for two and you can also ask for additional soup. I think what makes cansi sinfully delicious is the utok (bone marrow). Careful with the heart though, for God knows how many cholesterol a serving has.

I love the cansi places sa Shopping. Sharyn’s and Conee’s… our Sunday lunch staples.
I love the Cansi from Sharyn’s. I just tasted it last month when I was there. Although the serving and the price seemed a bit expensive as compared years ago. It was still a comfort food every time I go home there. There are many good places to eat in Shopping like Ting-Tings, City Lunch and Rafaello’s.
The kansi places at Shopping are overrated and extremely overpriced. I know of a place that serves kansi at P80 which is comparable in size and taste, or even better, than both Sharyn’s and Conee’s. The place is “Corner Eatery” at Libertad Extension and aside from cheaper kansi they sell the best pork trotter KBL in the city at P40. Tender pig’s feet in a slightly sour but comforting broth mixed with young jackfruit and beans is best paired with either fried chicken necks or lumpia.
Thanks Lee for that info. May try it soon. It’s mouth watering reading your comment.
if you want the prime pork pieces be there by 10:30 to 11:00. A lot of folks troop to the corner eatery to take out lunch and the KBL stockpot is the first to be emptied.
Namit man da nilaga sa Corner Eatery. Amo na sya ang sa may bangga pakadto UNO? Tapos ang pata sa Martir sa may San Juan. Ang mga namit na pagkaon sa Bacolod ara sa mga hole in the wall gd ya.
i miss the cansi house in shopping….. i should go back there this april.
Thanks for visiting Eric. Yes, you should go there if you’re here. Be careful with the cholesterol though.
These establishments are already “institutions” as far as I’m concerned. They are there ever since… I remember we (me and my classmates) used to have afternoon “pamahaw” of bread buns and steaming cansi after playing billiards at nearby Noel’s Billiard Hall, obviously I’m talking straight from the 80′s… when sometimes classes would be suspended in support for the Lady in Yellow…
Yes, most eateries serving good food are the proverbial hole-in-the-wall types. Did you know that 21′st Food Corner.. (or what’s it called right now?) started as a hole-in-the-wall kiosk serving batchoy? I know because I’ve seen how that place grew from a dainty batchoy stall… into a full blown resto… with a bar to boot…
Bob’s still serves the best burgers… Can’t compare it to even the flame-broiled chunks they serve here in Manila… Roli’s …. mouth watering Napoleones… Aida’s Inasal… The talaba joint near the CENECO office..(Cabarles is the name??). El Ideal fresh lumpia… Calea pastires… etc..
Hay… Maybe I’ll jet down there for a weekend and eat my fill of all these…
It’s 21 Restaurant now and it no longer bears semblance to its hole-in-the-wall days as it is already one of Bacolod’s best restaurants.
Im so crazy about cansi
ano ang number sang sharyn’s?
