It’s three o’clock. Merienda na! Whether you are in the comfort of your home, at school, or the office, the afternoon snack or what we Filipinos call merienda is another way to survive a long day.
Walking through history, Spain colonized the Philippines for 300 years and introduced us to its rich culture, such as merienda which we wholeheartedly embraced. The website TasteAtlas defines this Spanish culture as a typical late afternoon light snack between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm. However, Filipinos eat merienda slightly earlier. It is always eaten around 3- 5 pm during siesta time, equivalent to afternoon tea. When 3 pm strikes, everyone pauses their activities and nothing can distract us from enjoying our delightful little time while eating delectable sweet and savory treats.
For your light snack cravings such as bread and pastries, Lahat Food is ready to serve you whenever and wherever you are. Here are some of our merchants that serve sweet and savory light snacks that will satisfy your stomach.
