Intramuros may be known primarily as a tourist destination but people do work and live there. And where people live and work, there are — wait for it — carinderias. On this episode, we check out Nutrition Fastfood House on Magallanes Street, ably assisted by Jergens “Sharon” Arambulo, who works nearby at the National Commission on Culture and the Arts office.
Nutrition Fastfood House is where she brings friends and guests who want to taste good, home-cooked Filipino food, specificially their signature dish fish paksiw (PHP48), which is normally milkfish cooked in vinegar, garlic, onion, ginger, bittergourd and chili. Because of its sour flavor, it is best eaten with rice.
The Nutrition Fastfood House, 356 Magallanes Street, Intamuros, Manila; +63 2 525 2211. Mon-Fri 7am-9pm, Sat 7am-2pm.
