First time trying out Balbakwa

 I was at Don Antonio Quezon city, specifically at Holy Spirit drive, I arrived early for my 9:30 am appointment. So decided to get something to eat, noticed too many riders at one corner, what's the fuzz all about and did see a small makeshift eating place and the name is Mami heat.  Serving different broth made up of cow  innards.


Being  fan of the "Matang baka" (Cow's eye) and so decided to order one, but sadly it is still being prepared and still cooking. Intrigued by the name itself " Balbakwa" , I ordered one.


A mixture of beef fat,  chopped innards and a spicy broth to complement the mixture




For only Php 80, you get a serving of rice and a bowl of Balbakwa. A must try in my book, overall I really did enjoy the eating Balbakwa , the gritty environment being at the side of the road , makes the overall experience a kind of an adventure.

Quezon Memorial


Manuel Quezon is the president of the common wealth of the Philippines (1935 - 1944). Pres. Quezon was of humble origins, his father, a retired Spanish soldier and his mother a teacher. A shrine is built to symbolize his greatness,located  in the elliptical road in Quezon city. A museum is housed within the structure itself and  with lots of memorabilia from Pres. Quezon and his wife Dona Aurora.


Around the vicinity there are lots of restaurants to enjoy, Tropical hut, Max's etc.. Truly one of the most visited parks in Quezon City.




Here are some of the interesting memorabilias  displayed in the museum
