KinaAye Food House
Preparing for the hell week is worse than the hell week, itself.
If you plan to eat the stress away, KinaAye is the perfect place for you! The food house offers a wide variety of mouth-watering Filipino dishes, ranging from 70-150 pesos. Their menu includes silogs, seafood, veggies, and pasta which you can guarantee are freshly cooked every day.
Don't even start me with their blockbuster tipid-combo meal. For only 80 pesos, you can enjoy two ulam, one rice, and a free drink on the side! What more can you ask for, right?

Seddie Carinderia
Tight on budget? No problem!
Seddie Carinderia serves tasty home-cooked meals like no other. The crowd’s favorites are ginisang ampalaya, porkchop, adobo, and chop suey, which you can all avail of for under 100 pesos.
Though, we suggest getting there early because the store never runs out of customers. You can save as much money as possible with their 50 pesos full-course lunch: half pork, half veggie, and one rice.

Keng’s Paresan
One word: Heaven!
Keng’s Paresan is a little more pricey than the other eateries. But, they make up for it by generously serving a sisig meal on a sizzling hot plate. Just be careful because the gossip is true. Their food magically melts in your mouth; you’ll end up ordering for a second round.
They also sell tapa combos and silogs, ranging from 60-175 pesos. It’s nice to treat yourself to a warm pares mami too!

Daddy’s Sisig House
Looking for a quick merienda? Daddy’s Sisig house always got your back!
Since they are still short in manpower, the carinderia is not yet open for sisig orders. However, they have all our all-time favorite street food, making everyone's life less hassle. No need to walk around Manila anymore for kwek-kwek and palamig!
The price ranges from 20-50 pesos, depending on the snack you want to eat. Ghost your diet plans, now!
