Their signages say it all; how old they are and what their specialties are. That's why when I first visited Balbi's last year, I got their pancit palabok, ensaymada and cheese roll. Mostly it was for blog purposes but I ended up bringing half a dozen of both bread back home for me to continue enjoying my gastronomic discovery that had existed for almost half acentury.

Probaby their best seller, Balbi's pancit palabok is among the best in town.
It also comes in bilaos for big orders.
