In this first part of our Laguna Food Crawl series, Erwan travels across Biñan, Calamba, Bay, Santa Cruz, Nagcarlan, Victoria, and Liliw in search of the flavors that define Laguna today. Along the way, he meets @chefrvmanabat and visits longtime local eateries and roadside karinderyas to experience both classic favorites and newer local offerings.
For many Filipinos, Laguna is tied to memories of outings, hot springs, road trips, and quick weekend escapes. But beyond the resorts and vacation homes is a province filled with stories, flavors, and people worth slowing down for.
