Foods are addictive, and so is the food trip, especially when we spend it with our friends and loved ones. Interestingly, Filipinos are nitpicked when it comes to food; maybe this is because we have a very diverse and appetizing cuisine, hence the rise of different food parks around the country.
Each city and province has a lot to offer regarding food. From local dishes to sweets like ice cream to coffee, every place always puts its own touch - whether it be with their culture or with the abundance of ingredients from their local farms. One thing is for sure: these delicacies are the best sellers of their own.
Metro Manila has good food to bring to the table. Numerous food parks can be discovered in the area, bringing the taste of good meals that originated from far-flung places available for the people in the city to try. The good thing is that most of these places' deals are relatively affordable.
Food options are endless in Metro Manila, especially around Quezon City. This may be because various schools, universities, and some residential and commercial areas surround the area. Maginhawa street, for example, is just within UP Village. Teacher's Village is a minute away, too.
