We know, technically this Thai restaurant at Marikina Public Market is technically not a carinderia — it’s serviced, air-conditioned and has enough seats to host an 18th birthday party in.

On this episode, we tag along with a Marikina resident who orders green mango salad, chicken curry, rice and iced tea for only, all for a little less than PHP200.
