May masarap na kainan rin akong natikman jan sa Marikina nung galing ako ng Amerika....yung gotohan sa likod ng simbahan ng Sta, Elena..yung dati daw goto garahe nung bata pa ako.

Then I also happen to visit a restaurant near St. Paul Church in SSS Village name "Casa Felix" ...I forgot the name but it serves a delicious homemade cake and other ulams...ok yan mga lugar jan sa Marikina na mga mura.

Lalo na pag galing ka ng bike around Marikina...Mga places you could visit near the churches
