only been once but the tapsilog at like 120 pesos is the move, skip the fancy coffee stuff tbh

yeah skip teh fancy coffee is right, the brewed stuff is fine but overpriced. get the longganisa silog instead if u want the better plate. tapsilog's still solid at that price tho

Fair warning the longganisa is the sweet Lucban kind, so if u want savory get the tocino instead.

120 is a decent price for Manila now, tapsilog elsewhere runs 150+. fwiw i'd still add an egg on top if they let u, the default one barely covers the rice.

Extra egg is worth it every time.

Agreed on the extra egg, though I'd ask for it fried hard since a runny one just soaks the rice.

Second egg, garlic rice upgrade for 20.

Tapsilog holds up, but ask for the garlic rice to be freshly scooped from the bottom of the pot where it's crispier.

The silog plates are solid but the real draw is the longganisa, get that instead of whatever pastry is on display.

Farnecio Eatery Manila: cash only or cards in 2026?

Visa works at Robinsons Place food stalls, not sari-sari eateries.

Cash. BPI ATM on Mabini, lower fees than airport.

Carry small bills since eateries rarely break a 1000 peso note, and BDO branches in Ermita exchange foreign currency faster than most banks.

Good call on the small bills, though I'd add that eateries like this often round to the nearest 20 so keep coins handy too.
