“In Metro Manila, it all starts here,” said Zabala-Batin. 

“Ma-e-encounter n’yo rito ang iba’t ibang delicacies from different cities in Metro Manila. Akala mo ordinary food pero may twist! (You will encounter different delicacies here from different cities in Metro Manila. You would think it’s ordinary food but it is with a twist!). You have to discover it for yourself,” said Biazon.
