Espana: A F(L)OOD TRIP GIUDE

8/29/2014

0 Comments

 
     When you hear Espana, the first thing you think of is the flood. I haven’t experienced it yet, but I know that the stories of flooding in this boulevard live up to its reputation. Although there’s more to Espana than just the flooding. Espana is also famous for food stalls established long before our generation was even born and are found anywhere around this wide stretch of road. Here are some of them, but Espana has a lot more to offer so feel free to explore beyond this list.

S.R. THAI
1229 V Concepcion Streetsampaloc, Metro Manila

     A personal favorite. As the name suggests, this restaurant serves authentic Thai food. Not only that, but they also infuse familiar Filipino flavors. Their seafood fried rice is the bomb dot com.


Mang Tootz

     Alright, now we go to our local cuisine. This is one of those usual Filipino side-of-the-road eateries that serve grilled items like liempo and other home cooked meals. After you get your fix on the main course, make sure you try their banana rhum-a. It’s banana wrapped spring roll-style, deep fried with sugar and then dusted on top with more sugar and sesame seeds.

SISIG EXPRESS

     But nobody ever calls it that, really. This one is more famous for its other name, “SEx” (the small letter x is important!).  Does this place serve the BEST sisig in town? Probably. I guess that’s why there’s that other name because the food here is almost as good as /that/.  

Lopez Canteen

Padre Noval St, Sampaloc, Manila
     Another favorite. This place serves the best fried chicken, I swear. Their fried chicken could beat that restaurant whose owner’s name is Colonel but isn’t really a colonel in the military. They have amazing food and the most amazing people working there. Fried chicken and friendly people: Lopez Canteen.

Sampaloc Asturias St. Sampaloc, Manila
     This is actually a photocopying center turned into a small cafeteria. On one side, you have the photocopying machines and on the other side you have your tables. Lovelite isn’t really for those who are in a hurry because this place is so small there are only around five tables and you’d have to wait to get a table. Don’t worry, it’s worth it. Their menu has a few items but I highly suggest the burger steak meal. There’s rice, egg, one piece of burger steak and bacon. Bacon. And they’re all on your plate, swimming in gravy. Their burger steak will make that red bee who wears a suit cry.

    And then there are the isaw and fishball stands along the sidewalks. If you want to go on a food adventure in Espana, be extra careful! This place may be flooding with food, but it’s also flooding with aggressive robbers.
