Having been a fan of Dayrit’s since childhood, I for one would like to see them follow the lead of a Pancake House.
Pepper Lunch Express
Somewhat of a deconstructed sizzling plate of fried rice, you get thinly cut slices of beef, corn, and white rice sprinkled with a generous dose of pepper.
The Cheese Steak Shop
With genuine Amoroso bread imported directly from Philadelphia, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a cheesesteak more authentic than this one.
Terry’s Selection
I’d be an idiot not to think that Juan Carlos de Terry’s food is about as authentic as you can get. Walking into his restaurant and shop, it just looks and feels that way.
Korea Garden Restaurant
I don’t mean to be harsh, but I just can’t reconcile the fact that this was supposed to be the restaurant that I had heard so many good things about.
Army Navy
Though I didn’t really like the burger that I had today, I did try other dishes on a previous visit that I enjoyed much more.
Mexicali
Having spent many years in San Francisco, I enjoyed a few of those delicious Mission district burritos myself.
Bodato Burgers
They use Monterey beef for the patties, and if I remember correctly, topped it with lettuce, tomato and cucumber slices, which is probably one of the main reasons why they market it as a guilt-free, healthier burger.
Mesa
To put things in synaesthete terms, I’d describe an experience at Mesa as one giant ray of gastronomic sunshine.
Kowloon House
PHP 32 for an ice-cold bottle of San Mig Light, PHP 192 for a bucket of six to help wash down their equally inexpensive, but abundantly flavorful dishes.
Manila Maki
I love sushi rolls. Aside from being meticulously crafted, edible works of art, each piece is a perfect bite, every single time.
Bonchon Crispy Chicken
Smashingly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, though I did find the meat to be just a touch dry. The chicken had a nice sweet and spicy coating as well that was highly addictive.
