Mien San Noodle House

Great tasting dumplings for only P68! I like their spring onion pancakes too :)

No typical Chinese food here (Taiwanese food daw). They serve dumplings with soy-vinegar sauce (like the ones they serve with gyoza) plus the fresh red chillies bathed in oil;
Menu is comprised primarily of noodles, rice and dim sum. Must try!

Green Mango Yogurt

Cheap alternative to Red Mango's Green Tea yogurt :)
I prefer Green Mango's Green Tea yogurt over Red Mango's since the latter's concoction lacks the sour component which I like in a yogurt.


I like sour yogurts "very" sour :p

Flashback Rollback

10th year anniversary promo of Brother's Burger!

The Brothers Pounder and the Big Brothers Burger revert to their 1999 prices. This means the Pounder was sold at P135 (from the present P250) and the BBB at P85 (from P175). Great deal, I must say!


So alam nyo na dapat kung ano yung pinili ko :))

The Art of Making Burrito

From the creator of Cyma and Charlie's Grind and Grill comes a new fastfood joint along J. Abad Santos in San Juan City. Ristras is a mexican Grill which lets you have a number of choices in making your own burrito (from the kind of rice, meat, veggies, chili, and sauce) Each flavor-packed burrito costs P290 and is a big as half a cake roll you get from Goldilocks. They also serve the burrito with a mild-garlic (white) sauce and a red hot sauce in Corona beer bottles. Instant hit and good value for money!
