I love finding out about hole-in-the-wall food spots! I mean, who doesn't wanna be the bearer of good news when it comes to fresh food finds, right?
One wonderful food haunt I found about a year or so back is H.I.D. Burgers. It's a small burger shop standing inside a Phoenix gas station along Imelda Avenue in Cainta. It's possible to miss it but when you do find out about it, it's impossible not to go back.
So what does H.I.D. stand for?
Healthy and Irresistibly Delicious Burgers.
And I have to say that they do live up to their name's claim.
They're healthy because they serve patties made out of 100% chicken meat. No red meat, no extenders. Doesn't sound enticing? Check this out: the great thing about their patties is that they never taste dry, which is normally the biggest disadvantage of using chicken meat in replacement of beef. Another thing I love about H.I.D. is that they use pandesal buns. It's a cute little way of making their burger a bit more Filipino than other burger shops.
When you visit (and you really should), try out their Cheesebomb Burger. It's got melted mozzarella and cream cheese! Yummy! I also heard that their Sicilian Burger is delicious. I'm going to try that one out when I swing by one of these days.
If you're going this summer, I suggest you take your orders to go as they don't have air-conditioning. They also don't sell any beverages (at least until the last time I checked). Although there is a liquor store just right beside it, I think they should have at least a few drinks on hand. Even bottled water will do. read more
