"A couple blocks away from the market is the third (or fourth, who’s counting?) incarnation of Ludi’s, the classic Filipino-American diner. If you’ve got visitors in town and want to wow ‘em on a weekend, the ube pancakes are endlessly grammable, and also surprisingly light, but the regulars here are more likely to get silog (garlic rice, eggs, and a meat). Don’t forget to visit the condiment table, which is STACKED with Filipino products, before you eat. Just be wary of the lines that can accumulate on warm-weather weekends." - Harry Cheadle
