Lunch? Try Little Quiapo’s Palabok

A family friend invited us yesterday to try Little Quiapo’s Pancit Palabok.

For the uninformed, palabok is basically noodles “smothered with a thick, golden shrimp sauce or other flavored sauce, and topped with: Shrimp, (the size and shell-on or shell-off depending on preference), crushed or ground pork rind (chicharron) for toppings, hard-boiled egg (sliced into disc or quartered lengthwise or chopped), tinapa flakes (smoked fish), freshly minced green onion.”

Little Quiapo’s serving is huge, and it’s good for two people. Amazingly, I finished mine without any help. If you want to try their palabok, make sure to bring some friends, as they are running a promotion: if you buy 3 palabok, you get the fourth one free.

Sounds like a good deal, right?

  1. I’ve never seen this place before.  That looks like a tasty dish, though!  I will have to try it soon.  I’ve been a little intimidated by the Filipino places because I have no idea what to order ever, but this seems like a good start.

  2. Hi Laryssa, Little Quiapo is a tiny place inside the parking lot of Philippine Breadhouse on Newark Avenue. While I can not say the ambiance is good, I can assure that their palabok is excellent. If you have Filipino friends, make sure to bring them with you if you intend to go there. Let me know if you have a post about the palabok or any Filipino dish. ;)
