Mabuhay! (Hello!) Kumusta? (How are you?) "Masarap" means delicious in the Philippines. In the previous blog, we explored three Filipino food businesses in Southern Ontario, Canada, that offer delicious and authentic dishes, snacks, and groceries: J and P Filipino Store, AJS Pinoy Foods, and GAYUMA Catering. In this post, we will continue our journey and introduce three more places where you can enjoy the rich, yummy, and diverse flavors of Filipino cuisine.
