But did you know that in a resto in Quezon City, they offer all your favorite Pinoy merienda, buffet style, for just Php 115!?!

Nena's Special Bibingka was established by Catalina “Aling Nena” Anacleto in the 1950s and they only sell the classic bibingka.

By the year 1995, her pamangkins who inherited the business decided to offer unli-merienda to their customers.

Marife Tolentino, the manager of Nena's Special Bibingka, revealed in her interview with Pinas Sarap why they decided to offer these gastronomical delights to their customers.

She said, “Noong unang panahon ang buffet ay iisipin mo sa mga mamahaling restaurant at hotel mo lang matatagpuan. Naisip namin kung paano namin ito mailalapit sa mga Pilipino sa abot-kayang halaga.”

“So naisipan namin bakit hindi merienda, tutal ang merienda ay nasa kultura na ng bawat Pilipino.”

Marife was also glad to see that even younger Pinoys were enticed to try their merienda buffet.

“Maganda ang naging outcome ng pagkakaroon ng unli-merienda buffet, dahil kahit mga kabataan ngayon parang natutunan nilang mahalin uli ang mga pagkaing Pilipino.”

For just Php 115, you could enjoy their delicious kakanins like biko, maja blanca, sapin-sapin and kalamay.
