La Cocina de

Tita Moning

La antigüedad que vive en la calle San Rafael

Antiquity lives at San Rafael Street

f what you are looking for is an entirely tra-

ditional experience, this place is a must. The

gastronomic options of this restaurant are

truly unforgettable. The structure of the an-

cient house used to belong to a Filipino doc-

tor who was famous throughout the capital for the

sumptuous banquets he used to offer to his guests.

The guided tour through the antique home is

beautiful and it ends at the patio, where you will be

grated with melted cheese ball tapas and iced tea.

Theoriginal chinaof thehouse still remains intact

and it continues to serve guests,on it, you can still de-

light in original dishes that date from the 1900s, that

despite being entirely from the Philippines, they hold

Spaniard elements of this traditional cuisine.

Something quite unmissable is Salsa Monja, this

sauce was created by the Spanish nuns that arrived to

the Philippines, and it was invented for the purpose of

adding more flavour to the traditional food they were

encountered with, it has a base of onions and garlic.

If you dine at this restaurant, several courses will be

offered, but the ones that are popular are easy to spot:

goldensoup-madeofpumpkin-,theporksteakandthe

insigniadessert: TitaMoningpudding.

The original recipes don’t exist anymore, they

were used by some of the most influential local

familiesmany centuries ago. A clear example of this

is pandan - a sauce created to add flavour to sodas

and desserts.
