My brave, albeit pathetic attempt to immortalize a meal at one of Manila’s finest purveyors of Filipino food, Abe by LJC.
My Kitchen by Chef Chris
With Chef Chris Locher opening his doors to My Kitchen by Chef Chris at the Oasis Park Hotel, in Paco, Manila, you no longer have to drive all the way to…
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.
Shiro Shiro
What I was most enthused about was the realization that I was about to fulfill a childhood fantasy, one born from many a bored afternoon chewing on the heads of my plastic animals.
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.
Ma Chicken Mami House
Every Filipino knows that nothing tastes quite as good on a rainy day as a steaming hot bowl of noodle soup, and today was definitely no exception.
Mexicali
Having spent many years in San Francisco, I enjoyed a few of those delicious Mission district burritos myself.
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.
President Tea House
Ren told me that President Tea House has been serving delicious and authentic Chinese food in the Binondo area since like, the dawn of time.
Yakimix
Although I personally prefer Zensho along Tomas Morato in Quezon City, I have to concede that for sheer variety and volume, Yakimix is tough to beat.
Kashmir
Before we went, I had read many reviews online from Indian expats living in Manila about how delicious and authentic the food served at Kashmir was.
Brunch @ Bo’s Coffee Club
Our PHP 225 voucher entitled us to PHP 500 worth of food and drinks and hours and hours of sweet Wi-Fi access to chase these ain’ternet (or inter-not) blues away.
