What You’ll Experience

Join me as we navigate through my neighborhood, sampling all sorts of Filipino Street Food from restaurants and food vendors catering to true locals. After a quick orientation at our meet up point, we'll take a short ride via a Tricycle to the start of our food tour. We will eat a wide selection of classic Filipino Street Food, from steamed dumplings, to grilled meat on skewers, to deep fried savory treats, to hearty stews, warm soups and sizzling delights. All washed down with various local juices and beer. We cap off the experience with a nice, cool and sweet treat, before heading back to our starting point. PS: If we're lucky, we'll be able to see the Balut man and if you're brave, can have a taste of this infamous street food.
