Subway for lunch? YASSSS PLEASE!…read more Growing up, I never liked sandwiches and... veggies. My parents, especially my mom had a hard time feeding me greens. When I reached college, I became obese. I still did not eat veggies and healthy stuff until my friend introduced me subway. The first time I tried subway was during my 3rd year in college. That was when there was a buy one take one promo. We shared the promo and I just ordered something and did not even want my sandwich to have anything except the bread and the chicken. (The server looked at me like a weird person) One day, I craved for subway but this time, I asked the server to put a few lettuce and that's the time I started eating veggies. One by one. I also started eating healthy, exercising and guess what! I lost 40 lbs in total. I'm maintaining my diet until now and I know this is weird but I started eating veggies because of subway. My favorite is their chicken teriyaki with lots of lettuce, tomatoes, a few japaleno, onion, and cucumber. The best part is their honey mustard dressing. Preparing sandwiches is easy as ABC. I love that I can grab them and have it for to go always. I just hope that they open more branches especially in the south.

They're also lacking basic standard ingredients like turkey. Consistency is not great. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Sometimes bread over toasted, sometimes under. They seem to be trying to downsize portions just to lower prices, but they've ended up sacrificing quality as a result.

Quiznos was one of my…read morefavorite food stops in Chicago, where my cousins grew up, and they offered REALLY GOOD subs, like "meat pouring out because of how full it is" subs. It was the Anti-Subway or Subway for Real Men (as my cousins called it) and it was finally in Manila! While you can't go wrong with the old reliables: Classic Italian and Honey Bacon Club, Quiznos really shines with its signatures. The Honey Mustard Chicken has the right amount of tang, the Peppercorn Steak is a man's sandwich, and the French Dip is a meaty sub dipped in Au Jus sauce. Yep, that is me salivating right now.

I'm usually apprehensive ordering grilled cheese sandwiches because, well, it is something that my brother and I make at home. Melt is different because, though they serve grilled cheese, the make theirs over the top! Deciding what to get was no easy feat but I decided to get the Bacon Mac & Grilled Cheesy. It's Maple glazed bacon with 3 cheese mac and cheese sandwiched between honey drizzled sourdough. Oh my goodness! I was full after eating half but couldn't let the second go to waste... It was perfectly pressed on the outside, crispy bacon, super cheesy macaroni, and gooey cheese, and ugh... I just want one now. It was served with a bowl of tomato soup. Can we talk about the other sides? I tried their Chorizo Risotto Balls, Tomato Soup and Butternut Squash Soup. The balls were pretty good but, I wish there were more chorizo bits in it. The tomato soup is "real" tomato soup; it is sour and thick. Not like the soup you get in other restos. The butter squash was sooo comforting! I actually preferred pairing it with my sandwich over the tomato soup. The prices for the sandwiches are pretty high but, the servings are BIG. So, I suggest that you eat here with a friend and share the meal. Best to eat these sandwiches fast and furious to get the ultimate cheesy, stringy experience! :)

I took the opportunity to find these bagels when my work meeting was situated nearby and I was forced to get my butt to McKinley Hill. I went here for a bagel and instead I got a veggie sandwich because it seemed like a better, heartier choice for someone who is HANGRY. It came with artichokes (which didn't really taste much like anything, but doesn't it make the sandwich description seem much fancier? And the price, higher? I mean at 230 pesos for a veggie sandwich, I would expect rainbows coming out of every bite). I had the mayo replaced with mustard so it's vegan, and the mustard really improved the flavor, as I would imagine if it was mayo it would be bland and tad bit disappointing. The slice of wheat sandwich bread was really soft and beautiful, but it became soggy quite quickly. Guess there's a reason why this place isn't named L.E.S. Sandwiches, because the bagels are really glorious (and vegan!). I decided to get a cinnamon raisin bagel to go, and I'm glad I did because it was really worth the Php60 price tag. It was flavorful, dense and chewy (in a good way), and quite sizeable, too. What a beautiful bagel! If only they would open a branch in Makati... and if they came up with vegan-friendly version of their cream cheese dips...or hummus! I'd be so happy.

Lox, black pepper truffle, garlic and chives, blueberry -- spread 'em thickly on my all-wheat bagel, please!! And guess what, they do fulfill your cream cheese dreams here - get ready a thick, thick, thick bed of cream cheese in between your sliced bagel. And of course, we must talk about the bagel. Probably the best in Manila. Really good texture and flavor. Not bland, not overpowering, just the right punch to complement your cream cheese choice. My favorites? Lox + all-wheat bagel and their blueberry cream cheese + chocolate bagel. Just one rant, though: the place can feel a bit stuffy even with the aircon on full blast. But yeah, good thing their bagels distract from this every single time.

Boy was I wrong. There are various food stalls here and most of them are quite good. This place offers 9 types of sandwiches (you can pay for add-ons too if you like). The price ranges from Php 65 for the tofu sandwich to Php 115 for beef and bacon. Quite a steal actually. And you only need to add Php 20 for some frothy iced tea. I ordered their grilled cheese sandwich and it tastes good, considering the price. The sandwich is made of premium cheese and some garlic sauce. They have pasta, too. I paid Php 70 for a plate of carbonara, and my friend got pesto. Both are pretty decent. So yes, if you're out on lunch and is on a budget, this sandwich place is a must-try.

The search gets even more difficult if you're on the hunt for a healthier alternative. As i discovered though, you don't need to drive outside the area for fresh and delicious fare that's friendly to the pocket--you just have to think outside the box. Santi's Delicatessen is famous for its wide array of meats and cheeses from around the world. What isn't as known - criminally, in my opinion - is that the friendly staff at Santi's will gladly turn these fresh ingredients into a delicious sandwich while you wait! For under two hundred pesos, you can take your pick from their classic sandwich variants but for my money the best value can be found with the most affordable thing on the list: a dutch cheese sandwich on your choice of white or farmer's roll.

For you're in need of wine, they also a whole shelf that caters to different kinds of wine. The place is like a haven of European food - even the European seasonings are available here! It's always nice to pass by Santis because even if you're not going to buy, you learn something new just by looking at the things they sell.
