Ima's Pamangan: Masarap Na Mura Pa! (Pilar Bataan)

It is part of Filipino culture to make a stop from churches and religious shrines.  Located on the way to the National Shrine of Mount Samat is Ima's Pamangan. 


Ima's Pamangan is a huge eatery that offers an unbelieavably affordable buffet for 200 php and ala carte budget meals ranging from 70 php to 400 php.


The dishes it serves are popular Filipino home dishes.

It offers a refreshing wooden cabin ambiance. 


Buffet (200 php)
We opted for the buffet because it is a steal deal!  Look at all the dish options for only 200 php!


These are replenished quite often.


Among the dishes I enjoyed the most are:♥ Crispy Talangka, ♥ Langka, ♥ Green Mango Salad, and ♥ Sweetened Cassava.


Big groups are very welcome here as it has really long tables.


You can see different kinds of people dining here from families to friends, bikers and both locals and tourists alike.  Did I mention, it also offers free WiFi?

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Before or after heading of to the National Shrine of Mount Samat, make a meal stopover for Ima's Pamangan.  You won't regret it!  It also has a pasalubong store which I found to be convenient.
