The capital of the Philippines is renowned for its mouth-watering culinary delights, which draws inspiration from Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences. Be sure to try local delicacies such as Asado pork and ‘kare-kare’ (oxtail stew in peanut sauce) before finishing your meal with a scrumptious slice of buko pie (custard pie with condensed milk).
