Ahhh!!! We're not being OA with the excitement as these foodie-favorite restaurants are now open in Alabang.
You know what that means right? No more weighing in an executive decision amongst your South friends on who is willing to drive to Kapitolyo just because someone was craving Silantro's nachos. Or a 1 hour drive (without traffic) to get to Makati. Or or imagining the agony of looking for parking in Poblacion. Or or or… you can fill in the list later.
But yeah, these favorite North (or kinda north) restos are now near the comforts of your Southern-Manila life where drivers aren't so aggressive and there's actually parking everywhere.
So congrats, southies. Here are the restos you can plot by order in your calendar of activities to visit:
1. Silantro Fil-Mex
We're raving about their nachos. For only Php 180, it's already good for 2-3 people fully loaded with cheese and beef.
Pro Tip: Their servings are quite huge and can be shared with 2 people especially the burrito. Unless you are a ravaging hungry fella, split it with a friend!
Location: Alabang Town Center Corporate Center (The new wing right next to the Madrigal entrance)
2. Senor Pollo
We're raving about their quesadilla and chicken! Big, savory chicken with home made sides.
Pro Tip: Their chicken comes with 2 sides, order 1 side as rice so you can have a rice meal.
Location: Alabang Town Center Corporate Center (The new wing right next to the Madrigal entrance)
3. Kapihan by Luna
We're raving about their grilled cheese and specialty coffee!
Pro Tip: They're not just a coffee shop, they serve all day breakfast that comes with iced coffee and dessert. Follow their Instagram to know what their daily specials are.
Location: 2nd Floor CPT-Apha Bldg Investment Drive. Madrigal Biz Park. Mon-Sat, 7am-11pm
4. Halal Guys
We're raving about their white and hot sauce! Spread it on top of their falafels and it's a sure hit.
Pro Tip: Ask for more of their sauces if you're planning to take it out.
Location: G/F Fully Booked Alabang Town Center right in front of Jamba Juice
5. Salad Stop
We're raving about their massive salads and multiple variety of ingredients you can choose to build it with. We recommend the Hail Ceasar, of course. But whatever floats your boat.
Pro Tip: You can substitute up to two ingredients and dressing. Don't be shy to ask!

6. Rita's Italian Ice
We're raving about their smooth and refreshing Italian ice and thick Italian custard (which is thicker since there are eggs involved)
Pro Tip: If you're a bit iffy about the combination of fruity ice with custard, you can have them separately. We recommend you try their custard solely.
Location: Ground Floor, Alabang Town Center, Alabang, Muntinlupa City
7. La Maripili
We're raving about their churros with Jamon Serrano and Chorizo and grilled cheese sandwich
Pro Tip: Their interiors are beautiful! Take your time and invite your favorite ladies for a Sunday brunch!
Location: G/F ATC Corporate Center, Alabang Hills, Alabang, Muntinlupa
8. DIY Pokè
We're raving about their fresh fish ingredients. We recommend for you to try their Cherry Blossom bowl which is with spicy tuna and kimchi.
Pro Tip: You can build your own bowl so go crazy!
Location: 2/F Madison Galeries, Don Jesus Boulevard, Alabang Hills, Cupang, Muntinlupa
