DOLOR'S KAKANIN




















They have got to be among the best kutchinta and sapin-sapin in Manila. It used to be I had to wait until going to the provinces to get a taste of really tasty traditional local merienda foodstuffs. However, nowadays, I can just head on over to Dolor’s Kakanin shop in Banawe Street in Quezon City to fulfill my craving. There was a time when we have to drive all the way out to their main store in Malabon, but since opening a branch nearby, buying from them has become a lot more convenient. They also make home deliveries.

Their products are unarguably far superior than those at the public market. Other than kutchinta and sapin-sapin, Dolor’s also offers kalamay ube, kamoteng kahoy, mais, pitsi-pitsi, pansit Malabon, rellenong bangus, and tinapang bangus.

Paborito ko rin ang kutsinta at sapin-sapin. Nice shots, once again, Eric. Very clear.

Colorful food!
Sounds a bit strange to me: kutchinta, sapin-sapin, pitsi-pitsi...
Any English translation for that Eric?

My sister dod, Tutubi; she loves it. Are talking about Causeway (Banawe corner San Fran del Monte)? Naku, wala ka makuhang parking doon. Laging puno :( Masarap ang mga dimsum nila. Pakadaming masasarap na kainan dito.

Hi Cathy! You may not be too far away from where I am. Not to worry, when I get a chance to get the bears and deliver them, I'll include sapin-sapin.

Dati manual focusing ako lagi perso sinabihan ako na gamitan na lang ng auto focus kasi mabilis naman daw ang Nikkor lens ko. Aperture-priority din ginamit ko dito, Ferdz.

Thanks, Irene! There was a class I was going to take about making kakanin, but Dolor's opened a branch nearby so I didn't bother :)

English translation there may not be any, Sidney. Don't tell me you haven't tried any of these. These are very popular. You must try if you haven't yet.

Jot down their numbers, at least, Sheilamarie. This way, you'd know where to get some delish kakanin for your dad when you come back for a visit :)

This post is starting a craving for kakanin. The closest thing here, is the Vietnamese version of kakanin. Also good, but not quite the same.

By the way - you already know me. I had to change my name and anonymize my blog.

Ooh, colorful presentation! Or is it due to your photography skills Señor E? The taste is comparable to the provinces? Now that is something.

Semi Ad ba? Ooops! I thought semi-AF :)

I was just over at your sight and enjoyed your entry and pics of my beloved Manila :)

Interesting perspectives you, Ferdz; something I have to work on myself.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Hi Joe! Yes, Jeff, Sidney and I had fun. We plan to have another get together when Sidny gets back from Belgium and before Jeff flies back to Dubai.

Come join us next time you're in town!

Hi Cai ... hope everything's all right with you. What a hassle going through changing your name and anonymizing your site.

I know that you can FedEx foodstuffs within the Staes, but are we able to do same inter-continental? Is it allowed? But I' sure they have fine kakanins where you are, Photo Cache :)

Do they have kakanin in Idaho, DOPS? But these from Dolor's are simply delicious. You ought to try them when you come back home for a visit.

December 10, 2006 10:12 AM  

Blogger Señor Enrique said...

Yes, Dave! Dolor's kakanin are just as good as home made stuff from the provinces. You have to give it a try one of these days :)

I'm sure they have these in Canada as well, G. Knotee, but I'm not sure if they'd be as agood as these :)

Hahaha! Maybe come fly home for a day and indulge n our delish merienda, Sachiko!

Btw, the Japanese aren't much into sweet stuff, huh? In NYC, my favorite Japanese restaurant only serves green tea ice cream; nothing more when it comes to dessert.
