A Quick and Affordable Snack from Lola Nena's

 

There's a Lola Nena's next door to our hotel. I've been ignoring Lola Nena's for so long because I'm not a fan of siopao. They serve toasted siopao. 

One day, after shopping, we decided to go home early so that we won't have a hard time getting a Grab car. 

We decided to just order a snack from Lola Nena's.

I love the red and white interiors. 

We ordered the pancit and toasted siopao meal. 

This is the toasted siopao. It has meat inside and a big chunk of boiled egg. Fortunately, I found the egg whites before I bit into it! I'm allergic. 

It's also a bit spicy as it had tiny pieces of chili. My son didn't mind though and ate everything. 

Can you believe that that's just 62 pesos? That's practically just a dollar! However, the pancit didn't have any meat. It's just a few vegetables. 

But for that price? This was a solid meal! I now know why this is their most popular combo.

The pancit was seasoned nicely. The noodles weren't overcooked. I'm hapy for the addition of calamansi, but it really didn't need the extra sour notes. The pancit was good enough on its own. 

We also ordered some lemonade which my son and I shared. 

In the candy-shaped bowl are purple potato crunchy fries from Meadows. Will talk about that soon. 

I cannot eat the same textures in one meal, that's why I had to open some crunchy snacks. 

Will we order this again?

I don't think so because we found some other pancit that taste better, and one of them is from Lola Nena's! 

I'll tell you all about those, soon!

’Til our next shared bite,

Stay cozy. Stay curious. Stay nourished.

LET'S EAT.

With grace, warmth, and a full heart,
