Pong Eats: Cafe Juan Miguel

Hello! Today, we're featuring one of our newest discoveries in Cavite - Cafe Juan Miguel. 😊 It was my sister who introduced this spot to me and when I had the taste of their spring rolls, I fell in love with it right away. Just enough reason to share their foodie goodness on my blog. Yay!

CJM, Entrance

During our time of visit though, my fave Spring Roll was not available - a reason to come back. Yes? Definitely! We even had our to go pastas (snap below). 🍝

Staff were very nice. The place is cozy. You can chill with your friends, have a great chit-chat while indulging with good food. As I always say, almost everything is a best seller. Can't wait to try them all. Katakawan at its finest. Haha! They do accept reservations, too- for casual meals, private functions and on site catering. The place can accommodate 70 pax max. They have set menus ranging from PHP200/head to PHP400/head depending on your preference. Inquiring is the key. Go, give it a go!

Pong Eats: Quick Palabok Fix - Pastora Pancit Palabok

Hello! Finally, I found Pastora Pancit Palabok in Quinta Market, Quiapo Manila. I have been trying to go and look for their spot since 2017 (see my previous Pancit Malabon post). Thanks to my friend and kumare, Teng for accompanying me! 💜

the legendary Pastora Pancit Palabok @ PHP60

More than 30 years of Palabok godness, Pastora's stall in Quiapo is the only one that we have in the country. They have been featured in different TV shows and in a lot of blogs and newspapers but they still remain in their humble Quinta Market abode. Kuya said that their rent for the spot is P500/day. Sounds cheap, right? Or no? They have been offered to branch out but they opted to stay in Quiapo. Who knows, konting pilit pa? 😋

When I had the chance to have a taste of Pastora's, I knew I had to put in on my blog. Thanks, Wilmae for bringing it in the office! It took me forever to post, but better late than never! 😊

Their sauce does not have any shrimp content, so it's good for those who are allergic to it. Fatty Chicharon (pork crackling), tofu in achuete (annatto seeds), squid and hard boiled eggs are the toppings that their noodle has. Quite sinful, but sinful is good in moderation. Yes?  And this legendary palabok costs PHP60 only. Try it! 😋

Price list: 
Short Order: PHP60 (ang dami, promise, you can share if you're on a diet)

Pong Eats: Laurio's Pansit Malabon 🍝

Hello!! 😍

It's Saturday at home because of that effing elevator in the office! Anyway, am into Pancit Malabons (?!) lately and am blogging each pancit am gonna try. Last time, I had Dolora's (see my previous post: Pong Eats: Dolora's Hauz of Pancit Malabon) and now, tadaaa Laurio's. 

Laurio's Pansit Malabon is a typical Pancit Malabon, but is delish and good enough to satisfy your Merienda Cravings. 👌 Serving is just fine though. It's not siksik like the others. Try it out! Rapsa! 👌

Laurio's! - squid, eggs, shrimp, veggies, pork toppings

Pong Eats: Dolora's Hauz of Pancit Malabon 🍝

Hello! 😁😄😎

Yay! Was able to finally have a taste of Dolora's Pancit Malabon! I've been seeing and hearing about this Pancit for quite some time now and it did not disappoint! 😋

So, I decided to call their Pasig (Manggahan Branch) to have the Pancit delivered to our office. 
Affordable and the serving is quite huge. Am highly recommending this Pancit! Good for office food to share, birthdays, pot lucks, etc. 🍝😋

Pancit has the perfect texture and taste - not salty, not too oily, toppings are just enough (shrimp, homemade chicharon, egg), and the calamansi is already perfectly mixed, so no need to sprinkle it yourself. 👌😚

Try it! Rapsa! 👌😋

Pong Eats: Maria's - Breakfast.Lunch.Dinner.After 🍲

Hello! 😋

Here's another place that I just discovered recently. I've been seeing this place when strolling around Emerald Avenue (F. Ortigas Jr. now) but it was only last May 9 that I get to experience their food.  Thanks to my Boss for having the Team Breakfast there. ✌ 

Last May 22, I went back to the place with my Milk Tea Gang - my IT Friends from my previous company. Gosh, I missed hanging with them -always a good laugh! 😏😳😤

The place is called Maria's. They cater to Filipino dishes. Their best seller is Lechon Kare-kare. Legit! Rapsa! (Yummy!) 😋
They also have combo foods and foods for sharing. They have drinks too - with alcohol and alcohol free. They have LCD TVs where you can watch sports - it was BOS vs CLE when we were there. We've talked about LBJ but just a short talk as no one's a fan LOL. And yeah, they are open 24 hours, so drop by anytime you like! 😉 


Location: G/F Eton Emerald Lofts, F. Ortigas Jr. Rd cor Garnet St., Ortigas Center Pasig 1605

Pong Eats: Mad for Pizza 🍕

 Hello! 😋

It's pizza time and it's time to try something new. Did not post anything during our first visit; hence this one. It's our third time in this place and their food seems legit and delish. 

Mad for Pizza is an 80's-themed restaurant located in SM City Bacoor, 3F to be exact. The interior of the restaurant will take you down the memory lane - from music icons, to movies and anything in between. Food is delish and you can also customize your pizza based on your preferred sauce and toppings. Price is affordable and their serving is generous too. Nice, yeah? 🍕

Have some snaps to share, so if you're near Bacoor, take yourself a trip down the memory lane and go grab some pizza, their chicky, porky, beefy, sweety and pasta. 🐔🐖🐄🐟🍬🍝

Always remember to speak from the 💙.
