I was faced with 2 important questions about Manila recently in one night - "Where can I buy Philippine souvenirs in Manila?" and "Where can I eat Halal food?" I was meeting Mr. B from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia - the people behind our Wonderful Indonesia Trip with the komodo dragons in Labuan Bajo. I'm writing this because my interest was sparked when I attended the Pinoy Food Tourism Forum and they're thinking of attracting more Muslim tourists in the Philippines and one of the plans is having a system yet that identifies Halal food/restaurants in the country. We want to make things more comfortable for our guests, right? I myself want to meet more Indonesian friends and our other neighbors and I have not given stuff like these much thought in the past unless a visitor comes. Today, I'm making these into a list so that I can refer to it in the future. I've also added Filipino restaurants where I can bring guests to as this was my original plan (before I remembered that Muslims don't just not eat pork and have Halal requirements). Fortunately, there are some stores and restaurants that came to mind and a little research came in handy. I will update this list if ever I find something interesting for me.
