Lonely Planet review for roadside carinderia
The kind of food stalls commonly found in some Southeast Asian countries are conspicuously absent from the streets of Manila, but there are roadside carinderia . These basic eateries, often family owned, display a selection of pre-cooked dishes on a counter or in a glass case. They usually include adobo (pork and/or chicken cooked in vinegar, soy sauce and garlic), sinigáng (pork, fish or prawns in sour soup) and various preparations of bangús (milkfish, native to the Philippines). These places are called turu-turò (literally point-point) as ordering is a simple case of pointing at whatever takes your fancy.

An Adventure for the Tastebuds
erickaa recommends this,
Imagine, while traveling along the busy streets of Manila, a waft of exquisite aroma invites you. You are spellbound and thus your quest begins. This is a usual experience in Manila. Roadside travel becomes more exiting with the discovery of new flavors and delicacies. Streets are paved with small stalls called “kiosks” or “eateries”. These humble simple places are great destinations to fill a rumbling tummy. With prices that are reasonably affordable, one can only think of a smörgåsbord. There is always something for every palette – spicy, sweet, sour or salty. And another thing, the choices are uniquely theirs. Each cook serves a dish in his own way, with almost always a different specialty each day. So for the food explorer out there, a bite into the world of Carinderia would be an adventure hard to resist.
