1. Aling Nena's Kitchen — Manukau

A family-run favourite. Their lechon kawali and dinuguan are unmissable.

Opens for dine-in Friday and Saturday evenings. Their palabok is the best in the city, full stop.

3. Pinoy Plate — Papatoetoe

Affordable, generous portions, rotating weekly menu.

A Saturday morning institution. Get there early — goods sell out by 9am.
