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.

FAT FRANKS - When In Paranaque

FAT FRANKS -

Fat Frank's is one of the reason why I am thankful for being a resident of Better Living.

The moment I saw their logo and banner I already knew that something quality store will born here and...

I am pretty sure that regarding this matter my instinct would not fail me.

I started blogging last 2014 and this is one of my target restaurant to try because Fat Frank is only located in Better Living - easy to visit. 

This is their first branch and I don't know where will be their next.

The theme of the place really allured me knowing its american concept is a risky concept  business for a place which is not known like Better Living.

however, Fat Frank's made it possible.

 lots of BLS residents support and share their feedbacks in BLS group so many people got the eager to try - that is WORD OF MOUTH Marketing.

I would'nt blame them for being proud,taking selfies and sharing their good feeback in Facebook cause its really Quality.

My first bite here is their Chicken fingers with potato fries under their platters to share 

offers in their menu, then the Salisbury and Potterhouse.. 

ALL  ARE GOOD!

SUGGEST FAT FRANK's .

Even foods are bit Pricey and honestly I am not used to spend P200 and up in a surprise meal I still recommend here especially when you already here in Better Living and craving for an american taste.

I ate here with a voucher from Groupon with me. almost 50% discount so I ordered their portter house @ 240 grams, you can have it with  mashed potato or white rice,  I chose rice and I am full. :))))

this is Fat Frank's Porterhouse in a plate, (you can also request to have it in sizzling plate)

its for P245

about their Salisbury which is like a burger steak of King Wan. hehe.

but its good. my friend ordered and like it. I have no degrading comments for this, just a bit pricey for my part, I rather eat their specialty steaks and shakes. hehehe

Fat Frank's Salisbury for P185

OMG this is what i really don't like to be out of order...

the LOVE at first taste..

the CHICKEN FINGERS with POTATO FRIES. 

hhhmmmm my favorite..

with the cheddar cheese sauce or whatever they called it. 

TWO THUMBS UP!

for P180 good to share for 3 pax..

hmmmmmmmmm I just love it.

Next time I'll going to order their shakes and will share again the experience to you guys!

and till I visit you again FRANK! :)

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
