Review: Little Quiapo

Delicious food can only be found in restaurants who have long histories and traditions. That is what Little Quiapo is all about. This restaurant has been serving food since 1949 and has continue to serve some of the best Filipino food in the industry. 

History

Little Quiapo known to their customers, was first established in 1949 by Irenio Bartoleme a humble ice cream vendor who hailed from Pampanga. After saving up enough money he established a small eatery located in UP Diliman and was given a name of "Rendevouz". However this name didn't last long and was then changed to Little Quiapo when one of their customers made a remark that the place looked like Quiapo because of the many customers they have. 

Since then the restaurant has evolved and has provided many delicious and gastronomic food toward their customers. It is also one of the 10 oldies restaurants that is still operating in the country.

The Place

They currently have 2 branches one located in Quezon City and the other One in BF Paranaque. I was able to visit the branch in Paranaque last May 3 2017. The place looks cozy and family oriented. It definitely has the aura of an eatery who are loved by their loyal customers.

The Food

They offer authentic Filipino dishes. Here are some of my favorite

Kare-Kare

one of the best Kare-Kare I have ever tasted.I am not kidding here! They offer Sumptuous Serving that can  cater one whole family for the price of PHP387. The sauce was thick the "bagoong" was also verrry very yummy. I have heard that they grind their own peanuts and make their own bagoong 

Kare kare PHP 387

yummy kare kare

Blue Marlin Salpicao

I am not a fan of fish  but boy this dish was  the bomb. I just love how the taste blended well. It has the tangy taste I really love and the fish was cooked just about right. The vegetables gave a refreshing taste as well, in short the whole dish was yummy! The price for this is PHP350

Lumpiang Shanghai

I am not sure what made this my favorite but the taste is just delicious I cannot help put this as my favorite. The shanghai tasted good, specially with the dip sauce, It's perfect! :D one of the best shanghai I tasted.

Spareribs 

The sizzling Spare ribs! the meat was delicious and the gravy sauce was the perfect combination. I love meat but this one was my least favorite because nobody can top their kare- kare and  blue marlin salpicao for me! =D 

Palabok

The palabok is sooo good. It is way better than their competitors both in taste and price. One of the best sellers. And its worthy! The reason why its not on the top of my list is because I am not into palabok but I can definitely say that they offer one of the best palabok in the market.
