Ultimate Filipino Carinderia in Divisoria


Aling Zeny's Carinderia

 There is nothing more local than eating on a local Carinderia - style restaurant here in Manila, Philippines!
This is a local street food restaurant in Divisoria, Manila called Aling Zeny's Carinderia that offers a wide variety of Filipino food. They serve delicacies from the northern to southern parts of the Philippine archipelago.

It's a makeshift Carinderia restaurant located beside a busy street of Recto - Divisoria area. They serve hot and fresh food and you can actually see the owner and the crew as they prepare and cook the food.
According to the owner, aling Zeny, they start cooking food around 2-3pm and they are open from 4pm to 11pm (or until supply last) to cater students and people who are about to go home from work.
As you notice, some of their chafing dishes are not yet filled up with food because it was just around 3:30pm when I arrived at the place.
You can order some food and have it for "take-out" or "to go".
They also have dining tables so you can just pick and choose on whatever food you want to order. The cool part of it is that you can enjoy your meal together with the locals!



Price range is from 50 Php to 100 Php only per order (1 USD - 1.90 USD)
Aside from the noisy street, which is actually normal, the place is surprisingly clean and the owner and her crew are very friendly.
This is a testament of how hard working Filipinos are. So next time you will be going to the Philippines and find yourself walking around Divisoria in Manila, don't forget to try foods that are made by the locals to fully experience the soul of the rich Philippine culture!

Paano Ba Manligaw: Pinoy style (How To Court Her: Filipino Style)

PAANO NGA BA ANG MANLIGAW? Napakaraming katanungan na ang aking natatanggap tungkol sa panliligaw. Marami nang mga usapin, kwentuhan, at mahabang inuman ang nasayang dahil sa usaping ito. Madalas ay naririnig lamang natin ang panig ng mga kababaihan tungkol sa usaping ligawan. Pagkatapos  kasi manligaw ng isang lalaki, minsan ay ayaw na nilang pagusapan pa kung paano nila ginawa ang panliligaw sa kanilang mga girlfriend o asawa. Sa part na 'to, ang mga experiences  naman ng mga lalaki ang ating aalamin at pag-uusapan. PAANO NGA BA MANLIGAW ANG ISANG TUNAY NA LALAKI? Yung tipong May flowers and roses ba o yung simpleng panliligaw lang ang effective sa mga babae? Madalas kasi naa- underestimate ang mga boys . Madalas sinasabi ng iba ay, "Naku, binigyan ka ng roses? I'm sure sa umpisa lang 'yan ganyan." O kaya minsan naman, "Naku, Wala manlang mairegalo sayo yang nanliligaw sayo? Wala yatang pera yan e. Mapapakain ka ba nyan??

Insarabasab, an Ilocano delicacy To be honest, this is one of my personal favorite food and I would like to share how awesome this is! This is a local Filipino-Ilocano dish called Insarabasab where the Liempo or pork's belly also known as bacon strips are roasted over to an open fire. It's almost similar to pork barbeque but what makes it more native is that it only needs salt and pepper for seasoning. This dish is perfectly served with awesome spicy-vinegary sauce and steam rice! For the Sawsawan or sauce: 3/4 vinegar 1/4 soy sauce cracked black pepper 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 sliced banana pepper 1 red pepper 5-8 calamansi 2 red onions (You can add more chilis in the sauce) It is juicy, fatty, tender, and flavorful! You can actually taste the smoky flavor from the meat! It is plain and simple but so delicious! Ordinary day turned awesome with this Insarabasab This dish is perfectly served with some grilled vegies. In this one, the grilled
