🇵🇭 Why Harana Market Made The Other List

Every now and then, you stumble across a place that makes you pause and think, “Wait, this is here?” — and that was exactly our reaction at Harana Market.

In a spot where you’d least expect it, we found a little slice of the Philippines. Not a chain restaurant, not a hyped-up foodie destination — but a cozy, authentic market and eatery that serves dishes straight from the heart.

This wasn’t about chasing what’s trendy. It was about discovering flavors that felt like home cooking — the kind that nourishes both your stomach and your soul.

🍴 What We Tried

Fried Chicken – Crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. Comfort food at its finest.
Shrimp Ceviche – Fresh, tangy, and bright — the perfect balance of citrus and spice.
Salad – Simple, refreshing, and a nice complement to the rich fried chicken.
Melon Juice – Sweet, cooling, and the best way to wash it all down.

Every dish felt authentic, prepared with care, and served with the kind of warmth that made the experience feel more like visiting family than just stopping by a restaurant.

🛒 Beyond the Food

Harana isn’t just a place to eat — it’s also a market. Shelves lined with Filipino snacks, sauces, and ingredients made us smile. You could grab a bag of shrimp chips, a jar of ube spread, or calamansi juice to take home — small details that made it feel even more special.
