DELMON RESTAURANT

Traditional favourites like chicken mami – tasty chicken and noodles in a thin, clear soup – and beef batchoy line up alongside a handful of Western staples such as burgers, hot dogs and spaghetti. There’s also a wide selection of fresh juices to wash it down with, and an extensive dessert menu of the kind of sugary Filipina favourites that will have your teeth begging for mercy.The pitchi pitchi, a steamed, gelatinous creation made from grated cassava and sugar was virtually a meal in itself, albeit a very sweet one. While your dentist may despair, your bank manager will have no such worries and the speedy, no nonsense service makes it an ideal stopping off point when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of surrounding Karama...

Quick, tasty, authentic, and above all cheap Filipino fare is on your menu for the day, you could do a lot worse than Karama’s Delmon restaurant...
