On Matalino St. in Quezon City, right where the old Little Quiapo used to be, there now stands a huge, brand spanking new KFC.
The new Little Quiapo is now in Mabilis St., hidden from view. Gone were the summer afternoons spent eating halo-halo with ube ice cream on top. The new Little Quiapo’s decor is better, but the ice cream parlor ambiance is gone.
KFC. Feh. UP-Teachers Village isn’t the same anymore.
