Jamaican Pattie Shop

Owned by the Fruitas Group, De Original Jamaican Pattie Shop introduced Filipinos to the savory meat pastries of the same name. Said to have been brought to the Philippines by a group of Chinese-Jamaicans, each “pattie” (note the deliberate misspelling of the word) consists of a flaky pastry and a savory meat filling—take your pick from the Original Beef, the spicy Beef Pinatubo, the nostalgia-inducing Chicken Stew, and many more—served warm and toasty, and full of robust, meaty flavors that Filipinos have come to love. Coming in a half-moon shape half a CD in size, each pastry can be easily held in the hands, making it perfect for munching on while strolling around the mall. And they’re just filling enough that makes for a hefty snack, or a light meal on the go.
