THE 24hrs BEST FRIEND's

SHAW BOULEVARD BRANCH - THE 24 HRS PARES + SIOMAI BEST FRIENDS

 

few blocks away from my friends place found this pares house.

tried their specialty combo, buttered and friend chicken, special pancit.

 

• very affordable

• unli-rice. big servings

• either pares or siomai or BOTH!!! yipppieee

• garlic rice then white rice.

• thumbs up for the soup 

• I do not like the idea of mixing the siomai pares together. hmmm it wasn't quite good, but

• pares + rice = ok; siomai + rice = ok. stick to best friends not lovers (:P).

 

• Best with the taste, a must try!

• my favorite!

• rich and true BUTTERED chicken for me. i've tried many versions of buttered chicken and some of them limit the butter. that makes the dishes deficient.

• especially the wing and thigh part which are my favorite parts of the chicken.

• BEST deal for the price and servings.

• good for 3-4 people.

 

 

• this is actually my 2nd to my favorite.

• I have to admit even if its obvious that I am a fan of fried and chickens. hahaha

• cooked crispy.

• the looks and smell was so attracting. 

• the sauce also blends to the chicken meat.

• a typical friend chicken in a chinese place

• good for 3-4 people.

 

• not really fan of pansit

• also it has liver, I only take liver when in spread or in sauces. 

• but their pancit is sulit (worthy).

• veggies, meat, and so many ingredients for this little order. not bad.

• i prefer rice than pancit actually. 

• to unbias review I asked my friend to taste it and she loved it. it's preference always.

• as per her,  sweet and delicious as it is.

I don't know what was the occasion why we ordered that tons of food. I personally admit that I judged them for the serving of food but WOAHHHH! hahaha

I was able to take out some pansit and buttered chicken for my team mates.

BON CHON -- KOREAN FAST FOOD CHICKEN

Bon chon! Yiipppeeee!

Nothing is much interesting in Bon Chon. 

Here in the Philippines, Bon Chon is one of the best competitor of Jollibee and McDonald's with its flavorful Korean fried Chicken specialty.

They got into the Filipino taste with no much advertising until people introduced it to people and they become into the Pinoy's top 10. 

I knew Bon Chon way back 2011, and almost after 3 years, I can say that they really improved! 

which, become my favorite fast food after McDonalds. 

I am just missing their first chicken size, hehe 

Well afterall, I am thanking this Bon Chon for introducing me the Korean taste of Chicken. 

For other's information, Bon Chon Chicken specially the soy garlic is best when you partner with Kimchi Coleslaw.

I eat Bon Chon's Chicken with their ketchup and kimchi coleslaw. 

and now... I am craving.

Mei Sum Chinese Restaurant - A precious along Ongpin

Along the long street of Ongpin in the city of Manila you

could find different restaurants, mostly are chinese restaurants

 no wonder the place is not so far at

Chinatown, this part of Manila is well-known in cheap selling products.

After a long walk in sta.cruz from Carriedo to Ongpin for some reasons we found this Mei Sum Chinese Restautant, this is the first busy restaurant we saw and its so pricey compared to the Resto that I am looking along Ongpin, (failed to remember the name of that resto :/)

anyway, moving forward, 

We are happy with their foods, the Chinese fried chicken and the dumplings and the fried rice!!!! 

Wew! 

So full. You can share it with 3 people so you can split the bill into 3 also. Hahaha

 

  

Once we arrived they give free tea, it was not in a tea cup but the important is the taste of the tea. I don't know but I like their tea, I can't tell if its like an authentic and original tea, it was not sweet or sour or creamy, just an ordinary tea. Like it!

Who said that in the middle of this busy street we can find a Resto that will fit our Filipino tongue , Mei Sum is one of them.

Dumplings are the best among what we ordered then the fried rice and the chicken..

The service were good in all aspects. nice,accommodating and alert.

In that very sunny afternoon, we found some old Chinese who drink beer,. In a sunny afternoon? Whaaaat? You gotta be kidding me, but yes! I think they had their 3 bottles already when we arrived.

They are happily talking and enjoying each others company while us so busy finishing our food because were so HUNGRY!!! Haha

The good thing about Mei Sum were the place were spacious and not intimidating.

I said in the first part that for me its pricey,yes. sort of. our bill was like 500 (i think) but if we ate there with barkadas shares would be lessen.

this is should you expect when you try here, the wet tissue. we didn't expect that they will give us free of this, now, I am giving you a heads - up

CHOPSTOP - New fast food that will shot.

The new candidate to my Fast food options.

Its fancy and unique signage attracts us to try at Chopstop. We tried SM  Centerpoint Branch in Sta. Mesa,

Manila while actually we already saw their branch at Makati few months before they open in Sta. Mesa.

Food really looks and tastes good, prices are reasonable and service was okay.

we ordered their Chops which comes in pork or Chicken.

Pork Barbecue Chops – P109

Pork Tonkatsu Chops  – P109

Chicken Bacon and Cheese Chops – P129

My friend was satisfied with his order Pork Barbecue Chops but me, I like the their Chicken Bacon and Cheese

Pork Barbecue Chops

Pork Tonkatsu Chops

Chicken Bacon and Cheese Chops

Chops, maybe because I am into cheese..

Also, their Cheesy Bacon fries, which is 2 thumbs up.

Also, my favorite order. Desserts!!!!  the Milkshake. 

Chopstop should give a chance to shot!
