And so they haven’t one, however two—one in Las Piñas and one other a lot nearer to our place, Quezon Metropolis.
However what’s the fuss about Susie’s? Nicely, it is among the go-to eating places in Pampanga, serving Filipino and Kapampangan delicacies and luxury meals for the reason that early seventies.

The pancit palabok (₱120.00) was nonetheless how I remembered it to be—medium thick noodles lathered with a beneficiant quantity of palabok sauce, shrimp, sprinkled with chicharon bits, scallions, and topped with a hard-boiled egg. And the style, nonetheless as scrumptious as ever. For its value, serving dimension is nearly proper.

Susie’s Delicacies has two sorts of okoy, okoy papaya (₱50.00) and okoy paro (₱45.00). The previous—which I ordered—has papaya combined with regular-sized shrimp, whereas the latter makes use of smaller paro or shrimp with none papaya. I initially requested if the okoy might be refried—because it’s already on the show shelf and I would like my okoys actually crispy—however they mentioned that for the okoy papaya, they will solely reheat it utilizing a microwave. Alright then, microwave it’s.
As for the style, it was okay. I imply, we’ve got actually good okoys in my hometown of Malabon, so it’d simply be me. To be honest, its outer crust remains to be comparatively crispy, with a considerably mushy insides—most likely because of the papaya and its hefty plump dimension. Nonetheless, it was a superb facet dish to pair with the pancit palabok.

Plus, their chili garlic was additionally beautifully spicy, so it went rather well with that.
The final one to reach on our desk was Susie’s Delicacies’s pork steak (₱180.00). It was fairly dry with very hardy meat. It was so exhausting, my niece was unable to eat it and it ended up on my plate. Which wasn’t actually a contented method to end off our lunch.
