Delish Philippines - local

Chef Myrna Segismundo reflects on the Via Mare founder's quiet genius, corporate dining lessons, and her lasting impact on modern Philippine gastronomy

A small, charming coffee shop quietly redefining a neighborhood's daily caffeine run.

Hidden among the clutter of Yuchengco Street, this low-key Binondo spot lives up to its generic-sounding name with genuinely big bowls of noodles, soup, and more.

We love our spoons and forks, but bare-handed eating holds a special place in the Filipino heart.

Four tasters, five donuts, and one deceptively simple question: which one gets the balance of dough, sweetness, and texture just right?

This low-key take-out spot on Yuchengco Street serves fragrant dumplings that have become a favorite among locals, tourists, and food crawlers.

From flaky hopia and giant siopao to jade-colored buns and cream puffs, these Binondo bakeries are proof that the neighborhood has more than enough bread to go around.
