See why this city in Metro Manila is more than of its shoes.
Marikina City has carved itself in another image apart from being the country’s Shoe Capital. It has now become an ideal Pinoy city—orderly, peaceful, and properly planned—situated in the eastern part of Metro Manila.

The secret to the success of this city is that it is made up of an very efficient local government and a disciplined and warm community. If that’s not enough to convince you to move here, perhaps these five more reasons would.
Marikina gives importance to their culture.
A visit to the Kapitan Moy Museum—the birthplace of shoemaking turned into Marikina’s Sentrong Pangkultura—would result in a quick history lesson about the city. Old black-and-white photos on a wall on the ground floor would give guests glimpses of Marikina life during the turn of the century.

A few steps down the road is the Shoe Museum, which houses the infamous shoe collection of the former First Lady Imelda Marcos. Also featured in the museum are footwear of local and international personalities, as well as a tableau on the history of shoemaking in Marikina.

It’s a Pinoy foodie’s heaven.
Marikina city has recently popped up on the radar with the emergence of Lilac Street and Mayor Gil Fernando Avenue with its hip, mural-painted The Truck Park as a foodie destination. But even before the newbies took over, Marikina already has its own distinct food scene.

Beloved eateries have been feeding the city for years like Jesus Panciteria (it has a no-frills dining area and retro signage, but it has been feeding Marikeños for decades), Macky’s Goto, Mama Chit’s Coffee House, Tapsi Ni Vivian, and Mang Frederick’s Barbecue. And don’t forget Luyong Restaurant, which has been serving Cantonese food since the 1950s.
Marikina encourages you to walk—with its unobstructed paved sidewalks—as well as cycle your way around the city with its bike lanes. Its many open spaces like the Riverbanks amphitheater (and the actual river bank) are favorite spots to jog, walk, and play in, or simply walk around in to clear one’s head.

| Marikina Sports Center |
Right in the heart of the city is the Marikina Sports Center, which features a 400-meter track oval, an Olympic-size swimming pool, fitness gym, and courts for different sports. With a P10 entrance fee, it’s definitely cheaper than your average gym membership.
There are lots of budget-friendly shopping spots all around.
Marikina has no shortage on good value-for-money shopping haunts. Riverbanks Center mall leads the way with its many outlet stores of international and local brands like Guess, Nike, Adidas, Puma, Bizaare, BNY Jeans, and Page Jeans.

You might have heard it before - samgyeopsal (삼겹살) or grilled pork belly is getting more famous nowadays. Pasig is just one of the luckiest cities in Metro Manila to have a Korean restaurant like this.
Loading...
In a peaceful town at the fringe of Pateros and Pasig City between Brgy. San Joaquin, 1223 Grill is verification that Korean cuisine is already accepted in the local neighborhood scene.
But what is the difference of this Korean restaurant to others?
So me and my friends, went to this Korean food place and see what it can offer to us.WHAT WE TRIED
Here are the food we tried at 1223 Grill:- 👍 Budae Jjigae (army stew)
- 👍 Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake)
- 👍 Saeng seon jeon (pan fried fish)
- 👍 Spicy chicken and pork with cheese
- 👍 SAMGYEOPSAL
Our verdict?
Budae Jjigae (army stew)
It was my first time to try this Korean stew. It was prepared uncooked to us. So before you can enjoy it, we have to heat it using the provided stove to us.
The stew is noodle-based seasoned with some vegetables and processed food such as spam and hotdogs. It is perfect when it's hot.
The bowl is good for sharing for 3-4 persons (maybe 5, depending on how much you can eat). :D
SOME FACTS ABOUT ARMY STEW (BUDAE JJIGAE)
- Army stew or army base stew (Budae Jjigae) is Korean fusion stew that incorporates American style processed food such as spam, sausages, canned baked beans and sliced cheese.
- Budae (부대) is a general term for a military base in Korean and Jjigae (찌개) is a term for soup/stew. Hence the word army stew or army base stew was born.
- Soon after the Korean war (in the early 1950’s), food was extremely scarce in Korea, so those surplus processed foods from the US military bases were a great supplement for Koreans.
- Among the US military base areas in Korea, Uijeongbu, an hour north of Seoul, is most famous for this stew.
Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake)
This one is 1223's newest dish. Thanks to its owner, they let us taste it try it.
Saeng Seon Jeon (pan fried fish)
Spicy Chicken and Pork with cheese
What I really love with this set meal is the hot cheese sauce! Winner! (See the video below) The chicken and pork are 1223's finger food, I suppose.
PORK SAMGYEOPSAL
Of course, their best-seller - their 299 pesos unlimited samgyeopsal!
The literal meaning of the Korean word samgyeop-sal (삼겹살) is "three layer flesh", referring to striations of lean meat and fat in the pork belly cut appearing to be three layers.
In Korea, the word samgyeop-sal meaning "pork belly" often refers to samgyeop-sal-gui (grilled pork belly), in the same way that the word galbi meaning "ribs" often refers to galbi-gui (grilled beef ribs). Gui refers to roasted, baked, or grilled dishes.
One can also find ogyeopsal, with o meaning "five". Ogyeop-sal includes the skin of the pork belly, unlike samgyeop-sal where the skin is removed. This corresponds with Chinese word for pork belly, wǔ huā ròu (五花肉) or "five flower meat", as the Chinese pork belly usually includes the skin part.
What I really love about this food is, you decide how you grill the meat, what to put in it, how many of which side dish you'd like to eat - it's a complete customize eating!
