"In Beltsville I visited Manila Mart, a grocery that also serves Filipino favorites buffet-style at turo-turo steam tables (turo-turo means “point point”), and I noted that places like this remain part of the DMV’s Filipino dining scene where Javier Fernandez both delivered food and still eats occasionally—turo-turo-style steam tables are familiar and affordable but, in his view, not the best vehicle to introduce Filipino food to a broader audience." - Pat Padua
