it was only my second time to visit quiapo. my first time was two years ago when i accompanied my mom to shop for bead-making paraphernalia for my sisters. despite the sweltering summer heat, we braved quiapo and it was worth it.
globe lumpia house - for sixteen pesos, you get to taste probably the best fresh lumpia in manila. i think the secret to this great-tasting lumpia is the sauce. you have to try it out for yourself to find out why.
r.ma mon luk - a lot have been written about this restaurant. but one of the stories that struck me was the fact that the restaurant was born out of love. the founder of ma mon luk came all the way from mainland china to try his luck in manila. basically, he went to the philippines to earn money and be someone so he can marry the woman he loves. what a story right? at one point, there were at least six branches in manila. unfortunately, there are only two remaining right now - the quiapo and the quezon ave branch. there's really nothing special about the mami, but the siopao is really really really good. i have yet to try their siomai.
