Erwan Heussaff is back on the streets to try the best eats in South Caloocan. Located in one of the busiest areas of Metro Manila, Caloocan is a vibrant intersection of sprawling residential communities and thriving businesses, and it is also home to some of the best hidden food gems.

We are exploring different carinderias and restaurants to get a true taste of the city’s soul and learn more about its food scene straight from the locals.
