Cheap and Delicious

©darrengarcia

As I was searching for cheap food, I tried this so-called old karinderia. And, viola! I found something surprising as I paid my order. The perks of being in a province... A 26 PESOS MEAL?! Not only is it cheap, but it is also nutritious and delicious. 2 pieces of lumpiang shanghai, 1 cup of rice, a bowl of monggo, and a soup of nilaga-- a meal that will certainly fit to your budget.

This dish is for 3-4 persons, and it only costs 109 php. It is a mongolian rice bowl. It has meats and veggies. It is sweet, salty, and sour at the same time. The mix of flavors is just exquisite. Before the three of us can finish it, our stomachs are already full and can't take another spoon. If you are up to fill that grumbling tummy, I recommend that you head to Big Belly's restaurant at UPLB.
