It's Mother's Day and a good place to celebrate this day is at Little Quiapo. It's our first time there so we were very excited to visit this place even if it's an hour away from Angono.
Little Quiapo obviously has been there since 1949 and they have been giving filipinos the taste of an authentic Filipino Cuisine since then. When we first got there, we were welcomed by their unique door knobs.
The place is not big, they have an area for smokers and inside it can only fit 60 people. Parking space is also limited.
If you want to indulge with their cuisine and special halo halo, you need to come over a little early. We anticipated that it's Mother's Day, that many families will come over to Little Quiapo, so we arrived at around 11am. I thought we were early, we still waited for 10 minutes until we were seated.
Before we ordered, I breezed through the place first and found some unique items with a twist of Filipino and vintage inspired designs.
Like their his and her washrooms.
Their mirror.
Their side design that has their award and write up about their best halo halo.
They captured my wandering eyes with their stacks of nuts, pastillas, breads, tamarind, polvoron and lot more kutkutin.
They even had Pan De Atis (according to our tita) and a variety of suman, one of which was Mama's favorite - Tamalis. It's like a gift for Mother's Day to finally find Tamalis in the Metro. It's usually sold in Pampanga.
They had a pretty wide range of choices from their menu and it's like I want them all!
After browsing it through, we finally decided on what to eat.
Bihon-Canton guisado
It was a winner! We were seated just across the cashier and from the time that we were seated up to the time we were leaving, a lot of people were ordering pansit in different sizes of bilao. That's a testament that it's really a winner!
Pochero
They have a different twist on this dish. Instead of having just one kind of meat, they have three - beef, pork and chicken. The veggies were crunchy and the sauce was sweet. I enjoyed it!
Lechong Kawali
Another favorite! The pork was soft and tender. My pet peeve about meat is if it's like rubber or hard, so if one dish has a tender and soft meat, that's an automatic winner for me.
Tokwa't Baboy
Sweets really loved this combo and it was also a winner! There were a lot of pork!
Palabok
This is another winner! The sauce was so creamy and there were a lot of toppings! It was really a good choice to try this one!
Ofcourse we will not leave Little Quiapo without trying their best dessert - Halo Halo!
Two thumbs up for their special Halo Halo! The ice cream made it creamy and it did have the ingredients for a Halo Halo. Banana, Beans, Camote, Nata, Macapuno, Langka, Pinipig, Monggo.
We also tried Mais Con Yelo!
My eyes widened when I saw the amount of cream of corn! It was topped with Leche Flan.
Overall, it's good value for your money! We will definitely visit this restaurant again!
Xoxo
