FIL: Isang pook o establisyimento kung saan nagtitinda ng lugaw.
EN: porridge stall, congee house
The Bat-Signal for the hungry and the broke. A `lugawan` is that humble eatery, often open 24/7, that saves you from midnight hunger pangs. It's the Pinoy version of a diner, but specializing in the art of lugaw. You walk in, point at the toppings you want, and for less than a hundred pesos, you're in heaven.
From `lugaw` + `-an` (suffix indicating a place).
ROOT MEANING: rice porridge, congee
Refers specifically to the eatery, not the pot where lugaw is cooked.
