Planning an out-of-town vacation is not complete when you don’t go on a food trip. Oftentimes, as a tourist, we want to taste unique flavors and dishes that are found in local restaurants and eateries. No doubt that here in Bataan, we got exactly what your taste buds want.
Pansit and Kakanin are the perfect combinations to eat during snacks and merienda. If you’re in Bataan, you should not miss the opportunity to taste one of the best local eateries that serve the best pansit and kakanin in town, the Estrellas Eatery.
Ms. Estrella De Mesa, the owner of the famous eatery, started over 25 years ago only serving Pansit and Mami to tricycle drivers and selling Kalamay to the people. But, because of her specialty, she now made a name for herself and an institution of local eatery in Bataan.

The first bite of the Puto Bumbong will make you want more. It has the rich flavor you’ll expect in a Christmas snack, but what sets it apart from other Puto Bumbong is its chewiness that matches its thick texture.
Estrella’s Bibingka is made out of rice instead of flour which makes it even tastier. It gives off an indulging aroma and smooth texture when you bite into it. The egg on top complements the flavor of the Bibingka itself with the coconut shreds.
