Manila Travel Forum

Any ideas? I can't seem to think of anything in particular that Manila offers as a delicacy.

Help naman - is for my niece's project :D

Is it Manila only or Metro Manila? If MM, balut is considered a delicacy. If Manila only, how about hopia from Binondo?

hi aida!

i actually said balut din (from pateros diba)

muntik ko na nga ding sabihin "sapatos" from marikina. hahahaha

You can't go wrong with Balut!!!

kakanin from the eastern cities (marikina, pasig, antipolo)
Aidz, ung omelette na mabaho pero masarap, ano na nga yon? from pateros?
Pancit ni Ado of Pasig.

Pag Manila lang mismo...lechon sa laloma... di ba manila yun? and aida is correct the ones from binondo like hopia, tikoy, lojua.

Halu-halo di ba?

Jane, it's called bibingkang abnoy. That's what I brought to the VT Christmas Party.

pasali na rin... pwede ba yung Pansit ng mga taga-Malabon! :P

joy sama mo narin yung sapin sapin ni dolors at patis ng malabon

Yikes, I'm probably too late to contribute to this conversation, but, I remember after midnight mass and Mom buying puto bumbong, bibingka with cheese, sapin-sapin, puto and cuchinta. This was in the late 70's. Hope they still sell those delicacies. In Marikina they have also the best Arroz caldo.

yup it is still practicing here, in malabon we also have what we call puto sulot at free salabat.

Aidz,
yes I remember it now. Actually, I tasted it once and really liked it. O ano na? kelan tayo magkikita dito?

Jane (and to the others too), there's a VT meet this Friday, March 7 around 7-7:30pm at Dencio's Glorietta for AKtravelers from USA... join us!
