The dim sum cart came around quick, and we loaded up on hakaw, siu mai, char siu bao, and those amazing crispy taro puffs--everything was hot, fresh, and tasted just like the old-school spots back home. The spare ribs were tender and saucy, not overly sweet, and the yang chow fried rice had that perfect wok hei. Service was friendly even though it was packed; our server made sure we had hot tea refills without us asking. Super affordable too--we fed six of us and still had leftovers for under 2k. Total comfort food win. Definitely heading back next time we're in the area. Five stars all the way!

I can summarily declare that all the items we ordered were below our culinary standards in the following order from worst to not so bad. HK style fried noodles, the sauce was peanuty tasting poured over noodles. Horrible looking. The congee is not very appealing to the eyes and the palate. The duck was bony. The congee itself was barely hot. Siomai was no good either. The roasted duck with rice again lacking presentation appeal. The tofu skin roll is ok thus the 2 star. The waiter was very green. Served our sodas without glasses. Avoid and don't believe the hype.

Dahell ever happened to Tropical Hut? The food at tropical hut isn't bad. Not by a long shot. It's…read morestill the original Filipino food you know at fairly affordable prices. However, the thing that Tropical Hut really never did is add anything particularly new to their menu: their menu from 5 years ago is still relatively the same as their menu now. That's not really a bad thing, but well, a lot of the food at Tropical Hut is a little bit lackluster. And as a fast food place, they're still around on average 20 pesos more expensive than their competition. Really, the only thing I still go to Tropical Hut for is the absolutely amazing Spaghetti. When I was a kid, I would scarf down Tropical Hut's insanely sweet spaghetti with that melted cheese on top. It's still thankfully pretty much the same. The only thing that disappoints me is the bread. The bread that it used to come with was this sort of butter-topped loaf thing, but now it comes with a bland, tough piece of pastry. There's also their pretty good french fries - they're in that sweet spot between kinda soft but kinda crunchy too.

I love Tropical Hut. This despite the fact that I only ever order three items on their menu because…read moreI'm a creature of habit. If only fastfood eating is healthier both for my body and for my wallet, I'd happily eat all my lunches there. The convenient location--just a few steps away from my office--doesn't hurt either. Anyway, if you're wondering about the three items I meantioned above, here they are: Chicken Shanghai (with rice), Chicken Sandwich (with fries), and Chicken Sopas. (In the future I might just grow wings with all the poultry I'm eating.) The Chicken Shanghai is a welcome change since it seems that all others, especially fastfoods, offer Lumpiang Shanghai made of pork. The Chicken Sopas has a light, milky broth that never fails to be comforting. But my hands down favorite is the Chicken Sandwich. Too often, restaurants that offer this fare fail by having a dry chicken spread. What I like about Tropical Hut's version is that the spread is quite wet, and thus, blends nicely with the bread. Prices here are quite affordable, too. Both the Chicken Sandwich meal and the Chicken Shanghai and Chicken Sopas combo cost less than Php 100. That's a good deal for a hearty meal!

Coming from a Chinese family, I grew up eating Savory Chicken. I had them during special occasions…read moreat my grandma's house, I had them when we had guests at our house, and I had them when my mom was too busy to cook for the day I decided just to have two whole chickens to be delivered to our house. Savory Chicken brings back so many good memories of good and lots of laughter. Their sauce is so addicting as I love to slather it on top of my rice. Sometime, I like mixing the sauce with some banana ketchup to produce that sweet and salty mixture. Makes it even better! So I was heartbroken to learn about the fire that recently happened at their main Escolta restaurant. Hopefully, this well-loved restaurant will get back to business pretty soon. While there are plenty of other Savory branches in the Metro, nothing beats the original Savory.

I've been seeing a lot of mall outlets bearing the famous Savory name but the original branch is…read morestill hard to beat. The place is old looking and past its prime but customers doesn't seem to mind. They come here for great tasting food and Savory doesn't disappoint. My favorite is their pancit. Not the dry pancit that we usually get from other restaurants but the one with thick sauce. Generous amounts of vegetables, mushrooms and meat garnishes the noodles. The location of the original branch is a bit hard to reach specially if you don't have your own car but I still recommend the said place. It's located in the old escolta which used to be the center of commerce in old Manila. This is the Ayala Center of BGC of Spanish times. The food itself will make the trip to Savory worth it but you might as well include a sidetrip and explore the grandeur of old Escolta. You can walk off the calories that you gained from the delicious dishes of Savory and have a trip to memory lane at the same time. Sounds like a pretty good bargain for me.

My friends already know the drill: We go to the nearest Kenny Rogers Roasters (which in our case is…read morethe one near the Vito Cruz LRT Station) on particularly stressful workdays and "eat our feelings" there. And knowing the creature of habit that I am, they already know what my order would be: the Low Calorie Healthy Plate a.k.a. the one with grilled fish, garlic rice, steamed vegetables, and iced tea a.k.a. my ultimate comfort food. For particularly bad days, I throw in dessert (Plain Yogurt) to the mix. I don't know when this particular ritual of ours began, but it has served us well. It helps that Kenny's fare is generally healthier than other fastfoods, so we can indulge without the guilt. Also, the setting is conducive to catching up and airing out our problems. It's not too loud, the lighting is nice and warm, and the seating and temperature comfortable. Apart from the meal I mentioned above, there are many other meal choices, with their Roasted Chicken as the star of the show. Try their side dishes and pick a favorite. Mine are the Coleslaw and the Sour Cream and Chives Potatoes, yum!
