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!

Customized Burrito


Ristras boasts of "slow cooked food, served fast"

SereniTea Time

A relatively new tea place in little baguio where you can have freshly brewed tea customized to your liking (i.e. amount of sugar, type of pearl/nata to be put in the drink). They also serve snacks such as Pepper Potato/Corn/Tofu, Chicken Chops, etc. Their Yakult green tea is very refreshing!! Definitely a must try! Affordable pa!

Both our first time in HK without tour. Pre-booked at BP Interntional Hotel. Supposed to be on the "tour bus" for transfer to the hotel from airport but we found that the bus is gone (actually later we found out that we were waiting for the wrong area hehe!). So we were left on our own to navigate the place using maps from the airport and the pile of documents I've downloaded then printed from the net. A dozen of printed out MTR station maps came very handy. Got lost around Central looking for bus 15C for the Peak. Thanks to the PEXers for a wonderful thread, it really helped a lot for first timers :)
