Mami Chronicles: Nagcarlan

Food is everywhere. Towns and cities often get identities based on the local cuisine and delicacies but when it comes to cyclists and travelers, there is one that stands out; the "Mami". For bikers like me, the "mami" is a good source of energy on the go. It is filling but not too heavy and because of its rich soup, it is quickly absorbed by the body as a source of energy for more biking. There are many mami houses in Nagcarlan as well as the nearby towns and here in this blog, join me as I discover them all. Brace yourselves my friends, this will be a long one. Let us awaken our taste buds for the "Mami Chronicles:Nagcarlan", and try not to drool while your at it.. :D

First up, Ampy's Bikers Mami House. Situated somewhere along the road going to Brgy. Calumpang, Aling Ampy's mami is as far as I can tell, the best Mami in the outskirts of Nagcarlan.

Next is the one I grew up with, Mario's Mami. This is somewhat the Legendary Mami of Nagcarlan. Located near the heart of Nagcarlan, this mami house sits at the corner of the Market street and the street going to Liliw. I grew up eating their mami every once in a while and whenever on soft diet.. :)






Spending time by the Municipal Hall is how I found the next one. On the street going to Brgy. Yukos, M. Doria St., is a Mami House open only in the morning. It's a spot for those who rise up early for a morning walk or a jog to Brgy. Palayan for some fresh air. Unli-Soup here guys! :D


At the canteen of the Municipal Hall is another spot for hot Mami. Tarits is what we call her (short for Tita Rita), she manages the coop canteen. Here is where you eat if you have to spend long hours at the Municipal Hall.



At an intersection along Brgy. Palayan road is our next spot. Mang Nery's Mami. A good mami spot if you happen to pass by with soup-hunger. :)



Next up, for as far as I know, this is the only Chicken Mami in town. Ate Nieva's Canteen. There are many delicious choices available here but I strongly recommend her Chicken Mami. You can find the canteen at Rizal Avenue near Rizal Standard Academy, beside Angel Photography.
