Dulang (Halal Restaurant): a place to be



Look for this signage :) and you will find Dulang
Craving for Halal and healthy Tausug foods? Are you searching for the best Piyanggang Manuk and Tiyula’ itum in Manila? Are you missing the tasty Bang-Bang Súg like Putli’ Mandi, Juwalan, Pastil, Pitis, patulakan and Wadjit? Have you been longing for the unique taste of Kahawa Súg? Or you are just curious how Tausug Dishes taste like? Then Alhamdulillah, you are in for a great treat! A new halal restaurant here in Manila is finally here to take away all your worries! Haha!

I could consider Dulang: Halal Restaurant as one of those treasure chests that you can rarely find in this vast sea of un-halalness (-_-) here in Manila. For Muslims living here in Manila, looking for a Halal restaurant is indeed a big problem, leave alone the cost, distance from where you are from and of course the taste of the food they serve. And Alhamdulillah, since the Dulang Manila branch opened here last year, it was indeed a great blessing to all Muslims and even non-Muslims with curious tongues.  :D Dulang serves great and tasty foods, all in a comfortable homey place and at a reasonable price! (PS I am not paid for this free advertisement, I just love this restaurant! Hahaha)

[Dulang, by the way, is a Tausug word for a tray of foods and delicacies served during special occasions as wedding, pagtammat, etc.]

Pastil, Putli' mandi, Pitis, Patulakan and other Tausug pastries available at P10.00 only
Budget Meal + Kahawa Sug = Yumm! Yumm!
 
Chicken or Beef? you choose
The All-time favorite: Tiyula' Itum
Kahawa Sug, another favorite ;)

 What do they serve? And how much?

 The prices of foods served in Dulang ranges from P10 to P100. Here’s a rough list of them:

Where can we find Dulang in Manila?

 The complete address of Dulang here in Manila is:  
1313 M. Adriatico Street corner Padre Faura, Ermita, Manila.
Padre Faura
For those coming from outside Manila, you can ride Jeepneys going to Padre Faura and tell the driver to stop at Kashmir Restaurant or Ibarra’s Garden (just a block after Robinsons Manila, see my google map below). From there, you can see Dulang just beside the 7-Eleven store in Adriatico street.

Mabini 
If riding Jeepneys to Mabini,get down at City State Tower. Walk towards Robinsons Manila (you can ask the street vendors) along Padre Faura. If you see the 7-eleven store, turn right and you will find Dulang Halal Restaurant :)

Pedro Gil
If you are riding a jeepney to Pedro Gil, get down at Robinsons Manila (Ermita), enter the mall -_- then exit at Padre Faura “exit” (haha sorry not really good in giving instructions). From there, you can walk towards west or to the left (just going where the boulevard is) until you reach the 7-eleven store in Adriatico street which is a block away from Robinsons. 

If you did not understand any of my instructions above, PM me in facebook or text me. hahaha. I would love to accompany you there in shaa Allah.

Here’s the Map which I hope could somehow help: (from googlemaps with some added labels)



 

Contact Dulang

Dulang also accepts catering and delivery of foods within the area (Ermita, Malate) and also in Zamboanga City (where the main branch is). Here’s their contact in case you need it:

Sulu Hidden History: the Spanish-built Walled City

Image
By Ahmad Musahari Free lance Writer anakiluhmd@gmail.com What is the use of knowing the history of other countries if you don't know your own country's? This is my sole impetus of studying little by little the almost-forgotten history of one of the magnificent Sultanate of all seas: the Sulu Sultanate, my homeland of course! But even though my few researches have only reached few results as well, I am still nevertheless excited to share what I have discovered; small pieces of puzzles are parts of a big picture. This blog is about one of my great adventures in finding the remaining historical landmarks in Sulu (even us Tausugs never knew it was there!) Join me, lets explore once more and find out where the smallest WALLED CITY is! (PS: as you can remember, I have blogged about the "Moro Consciousness week" wherein I promised to fill in the entry about the 'walled City' in Sulu. And here it is: a promise is still a promise ;-) link ==================...

The May 1 Tuli Mission

Image
Joining Muslim Doctors (MD) for a Tuli Mission Alhamdulillah, a few days ago, a good friend of mine told me that the young medical students from Ateneo de Zamboanga University School of Medicine (ADZU-SOM) were here in Manila for a surgical mission. Their group was known as the Muslim Doctors (or M.D.). I went to visit them that day and to my delight, they invited us to join their event last May 1, 2016 at Mahabba Islamic Center in San Andres Bukid, Malate, Manila. I immediately informed the members of UP-Association of Muslim Students (UP-AMS) and Alhamdulillah, 5 of them volunteered to join me. I learned later on that another friend and fellow medical student from another school will also join. First meeting with the MD team I was on ER Duty the night before, and honestly I did not get much sleep before the event. But Alhamdulillah, I was not feeling that sleepy maybe because of the excitement! I met with my members right after my duty and went to the venue where w...
