One is the Pasig institution that is Three Sisters, which serves one of the best barbecue sticks in Manila. Another is Poco Deli -- a quiet, tiny, corner deli that serves fantastic comfort food. Tokyu over at the Pioneer Center serves very affordable, but great Japanese food. Jade Palace, an authentic Chinese place just off Kapitolyo in Shaw Boulevard is another favorite. There are others, like Cafe Juanita and Kainan Au Gusto, and Bahay Pansitan that served Filipino food and have been in the area for ages, Good Burgers, which does quick burger deliveries, as well as Lia's bakery, but somehow we never ate much at/ordered from those places, or never went to them at all.
Then, Charlie's Grind and Grill with its Black Angus burger, and CAB Cafe, with its scrumptious desserts opened, and those quickly became our new favorites. After that, the neighborhood simply went food crazy. Fast forward to four years later and Kapitolyo is now a bustling, busy neighborhood, absolutely filled to the brim with cool food and parking problems, heh. The best part about it is that new restaurants are still popping up all over!
Even LooLoo's Fearless Foodie's Field Guide to Kapitolyo Map couldn't fit everything in. A lot of restos aren't here.
Since my husband and I live smack dab in the middle of this wonderful foodie neighborhood and this is a new blog, I thought I would do a Kapitolyo Food Trip series. I will be writing about my old haunts, as well as document my experiences when I try out all the new restaurants. If you haven't been to Kapitolyo, I hope this convinces you to come here, and if you've already been to Kapitolyo, I hope this persuades you to come back again and again. This neighborhood just keeps getting better and better, and I'm very lucky I live here.
All Kapitolyo food trips will be up at this tag: Food Tales of a Kapitolyo Resident. Keep checking back for new posts. This is going to be fun!

I have tried 7 of the restos on the map and 6 of them kasama ka. Haha time to go back? :p
ReplyDeleteRUB Ribs, CAB Cafe, Mad Mark's, Lia's, Milky & Sunny, Poco Deli. Onga noh! Daming times na pala natin nag-Kapitolyo? What's the one without me? Saan? Yep definitely time to go back since there are new ones that just opened hehe.
DeleteI forgot Lia's, you forgot Charlie's naman- ang unang natry ko diyan, which makes it 8! Haha. Good Burgers yung isa, nagpadeliver kami sa office from Kapitolyo. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Wala pang Ba Noi's sa map.
Ah but that doesn't count because you haven't been to Good Burgers mismo, as well as Ba Noi's because you went to the Makati branch haha. :P You've been to Charlie's?
DeleteE nakakainis yang Ba Noi's lumayo pa. Charlie's nga ang una kong Kapitolyo. Ikaw rin kasama ko. Kinalimutan huhu some friend! Galing pa nga tayo nun Shang and I thought walking distance lang yung kakainan. :p
DeleteAck oo nga! Hahaha. LOL eh kasi parang lahat ng tao nadala ko sa Charlie's. As in even old officemates who live so far from Kapitolyo. Sorry naman. :D Also, yah I was teasing you about Ba Noi's hehe. I know you're annoyed that they left Makati. :P
