"Go straight through. Turn right here. Aw shucks, one way!” So went our conversation inside the car as we wended our way through the silent streets of Marikina City. We’re not particularly familiar with the ins and outs of this city but we just have to check a burger joint that a friend recommended. ”Excellent burgers,” he said. ”And you just won’t believe how much everything costs!” So off we went to the Shoe Capital of the Philippines, our heads craning out, looking for Papa Rock’s Burgers & Grillery.

| PAPA ROCK’S IN MARIKINA |
This particular burger joint, it turns out, is located not along the main arteries of Marikina but in a quiet subdivision somewhere at the back of the city’s Sports Complex. After a few wrong turns, we eventually found it sitting snugly alongside village houses on a suburban setting.
