Get a Taste of General Trias Tradition with Valenciana Festival!
The colorful Valenciana Festival brings the streets of Gentri to life every December. This celebration is being held in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It also shows the local specialty of Gen. Trias called “Valenciana”, which is a Filipino Paella-like rice dish.
This cuisine, which has a long and storied tradition in General Trias’s culture, quickly gained widespread popularity.
Valenciana as GenTri’s Culinary Treasure
The Valenciana dish became popular in General Trias thanks to the city’s forefathers who brought the idea with them from Spain.
This meal is a delicacy in the Philippines and is similar to the Spanish dish paella. As a result of Spain’s lengthy colonization of the Philippines—over three hundred years—Spanish cuisine and culture are deeply ingrained in everyday life in the country. Throughout time, different variations of Valenciana developed in various areas of the Philippines as the dish was tailored to local preferences and supplies.
With this, GenTri becomes home to several Valenciana varieties. You may have it topped with a wide variety of foods, from tapa and menudo to binagoongan and adobo to BBQ and Lumpiang Shanghai to hotdog and egg.
Traditional Valenciana involves meat, although certain restaurants or stores could provide a vegetarian version or can create one upon request. Usually, it’s eaten hot, just out of the pot or pan. It’s often eaten with condiments and garnishes.
Where to Eat Valenciana in GenTri
Now a staple in the diets of all Gentriseños, Valenciana may be purchased anywhere from Php 60 to Php 150 per order in any of the city proper’s many carinderias, markets, or snack places.
As a matter of fact, everyone may purchase this meal in the Barangay Sampalukan public market. Customers say that Mang Mike’s, also known as Remoticado’s Carinderia, and Jams Cafe beside the City Hall are the best places to shop and eat in the area. Additionally, you may visit Mang Mike at their Barangay San Juan branch and Jams Cafe at their Divimart outpost in Manggahan, Gentri.
You can go to Mang Mike if you want to enjoy eating the best Valenciana while being immersed in the busy streets and daily local life of the city center. Meanwhile, if you prefer a quieter or more relaxed ambiance to enjoy this local delicacy, then we suggest that you visit Jam’s Cafe instead.
Both stores are located only 20 minutes away from Asterra, the newest condo for sale in Philippines.
