NaDerang, a cherished Filipino dining establishment known for its authentic Kapampangan cuisine, is set to delight food enthusiasts in Sharjah with the opening of its new branch. Located at Shop No. 4 in Al Batool Building, Al Nahda, the restaurant is building on the success of its pilot location on King Faisal Road, near Aster Pharmacy.
Renowned for bringing the rich flavors of the Philippines to the UAE, NaDerang’s menu is a testament to the culinary heritage of the Kapampangan region. Highlights include the Canton Guisado, a noodle dish celebrated for its complex flavors; the Sizzling Bulalo and Back Ribs, both known for their tender, flavorful meat; and the Sizzling Mixed Seafood, which offers a taste of the Philippine seas with its perfectly grilled selection.
Not to be overlooked are NaDerang’s ‘kakanin’ specialties. The Royal Cassava and Ube Halaya stand out for their creamy textures and the depth of flavors they offer, presenting a sweet culmination to any meal.
Behind NaDerang’s success is Liberty Cano Samonte-Galang, a 37-year-old businesswoman whose personal journey of resilience and opportunity mirrors that of her restaurant. Since its inception in October 2019, NaDerang has not only survived the challenges posed by the global pandemic but has thrived, serving as a testament to the unyielding spirit of its owner and the community it serves.
Liberty’s approach to her business is encapsulated in her philosophy: “We don’t just cook… we also care.”
