Bistro Maloleño Restaurant in Malolos, Bulacan

The city of Malolos is definitely the number one destination for those who wish to sample authentic Bulaqueno dishes. Malolos is rich in history, but unknown to many Filipinos and even to the Bulaquenos, the city is also rich in culinary heritage. Such heritage is now being preserved and reintroduced by Bistro Maloleño Events Place & Restaurant.

Pancit Marilao soon to be offered at Pancit Center

Pancit Marilao originated from the town of Marilao, Bulacan. It is essentially a variant of pancit palabok but what makes it different are its toppings. Pancit Marilao is topped with Bulacan okoy (shrimp fritters) and instead of calamansi, it is garnished with slices of kamias as pampaasim. We are big fans of pancit palabok and Pancit Marilao has truly captured our taste buds.

Malolos: Women of Malolos Marker

From Barasoain Church, we drove to the Kamestisuhan District in Malolos to visit the Women of Malolos Marker, the site of the night school established by the women of Malolos to learn Spanish. Their perseverance earned Dr. Jose Rizal's praise through a letter address to the Women of Malolos.

The Women of Malolos Marker is part of the Lakbay Jose Rizal @150 travel program, in celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal.

Malolos: Barasoain Church

En route to Tarlac, we made a side trip to Malolos, Bulacan to visit two Philippine hostorical sites. The first stop was the Barasoain Church.

Barasoain Church, officially called Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish Church, housed the Philippine Revolutionary Congress which convened in September 1898. It was in this same church where the Malolos Constitution was passed and the First Philippine Republic was inaugurated in 1899.

Because of the vital role it played in the revolutionary history of the Philippines, the church earned the title Cradle of Democracy in the East.

The Barasoain Church is featured on the obverse of the New Generation P200.00 Philippine Banknote.
