View Simple's Lugawan at Maybancal Morong, Rizal in a larger map
I ate my breakfast at our favorite Lugawan at Maybancal. And I managed to interview Manang Simple, the owner.
She says that on a Sunday, she cooks 4 potfuls of Lugaw (porridge) to feed the hungry hordes of cyclists who converge at her lugawan from Angono, Taytay, Cardona, Cainta, Marikina and Mandaluyong and elsewhere. The 4 potfuls is a lot. She closes before ll, because she will have to move over to the cockpit to sell more food.
She says that her secret of nice tasting lugaw (porridge) are: use only ordinary (not glutinous rice) and cook slowly using wood.
Thats a good business for her and her PTM are cylists. She serves only lugaw, lomi, pansit (noodles) and rice cakes. The favorite drink is Mountain Dew.
