I remember thinking "ang lungkot naman ng drink ko" because as much as I tried to look for a redeeming quality, I didn't find it. The price wasn't bad though, I only paid Php 75 for my drink. Most of their beverages are on that range, although I cannot say the same for the main courses. I then ordered some fries, which wasn't that bad.

I ordered the Kung Pao tofu and the set meal of bagoong rice with vegemeat, but they were out on the tofu dish. This was good as the bagoong rice platter was massive. I've traveled around the Philippines and haven't had many vegan dishes but for the occasional tokwat (tofu) dish. So to get a dish that was veganized was pretty amazing. Somehow they were able to make this traditional dish minus the shrimp paste. Its slightly sweet and yet savory taste had me going back for more. The green mango on top was the clincher for me. It was so good and affordable. I definitely recommend this place to any vegan, vegetarian and don't worry carnivores. There's plenty on the menu for you, too.

Sentosa is one of the very few Singaporean restaurants here in the Philippines. When I went here…read morefor the very first time, I was totally clueless and I didn't know what to expect from Singaporean food. I am always willing to try out different Asian cuisines so I thought it would be an absolutely wonderful idea to go here to check out the different types of dishes that they have to offer. The first time I went to Sentosa, I immediately noticed that almost all of the dishes they serve have curry in them. I am not particularly fond of curry or anything spicy so I was a little bit reluctant to order. I just wanted to slowly get out of the restaurant without ordering, but my friend was too shy to move from her seat. I had no choice so I just ordered their Singaporean Roast Chicken. After sitting for about 15 minutes, my food finally came. My mouth immediately began to drool as the waiter brought our order. It looked absolutely amazing! I could already tell just by looking at it that I'd be full by the end of the meal. The roasted chicken was so soft and tender that it could literally melt in your mouth. Good thing my friend stopped me from leaving Sentosa. It would have been such a big loss if I just left without even tasting their food.

He keeps on insisting on taking me to places that serve spicy food, and I keep exerting my dominance (heh) because I do not want my mouth burning from a thousand different spices. Sometimes, though, I let him have his way, which is how we ended up eating at Sentosa. I was reluctant to order since everything on the menu seemed spicy, but I finally caved and ordered their laksa with a whole lot of rice on the side to deaden the heat. It turned out to be a moot point since you can ask the staff to lay off the spices, which made my laksa oh-so-delicious. Ah, good help is so hard to find nowadays so when you do, never let them go.

This is their second branch, their first branch is on Lilac St. in Marikina. The place is rather small. It serves Chinese food and there's a spread where you can choose your toppings for your claypot rice or soup. THE FOOD We had the Pork Asado and Garlic Sausage Claypot Rice (P170) - it's good. Reminds me of Binondo eateries. Better than I expected from a place that looked like what it looks like. I don't think they actually cook the rice in the clay pot like they do in Hong Kong, but that would be expecting too much. We also had the Spareribs Tausi (P140) - this was good but nothing too different from what you'll find in Binondo dimsum restaurants. The best dish we had, for me, was the Laksa Noodle Soup. The noodles were not soggy, the spicy, creamy and sour flavors were balanced - the whole effect was delicious. This is the dish I would recommend someone try. IMPRESSIONS I wasn't particularly impressed by the looks of the place. It looks like a neighborhood eatery. As for the food & drinks, I was surprised that they had imported sodas/drinks! The food was actually pretty decent and delicious, more than acceptable for its price range, and reminds me of Binondo eateries. This is not a high-end place, but it's clean. I don't know if there are any other Chinese restaurants in Antipolo since I'm not from there, but if you just have a craving for claypot rice, laksa, or Chinese sodas and beer, you could try Mogu Tree. The menu is a bit limited to claypot rice and laksa and a few dimsum dishes, but it's authentic in the sense that it feels / tastes like a Binondo eatery.

I wasn't disappointed! The serving was generous. It was good for 2 since we ordered another dish from a different food stand and shared both. Their were hints of different tastes of curry, nuts, and chili. They all went well together and none of them overpowered the other. I felt the noodles were a bit over cooked as they were a bit soggy. Despite that, I still enjoyed my Mee Goreng a lot!

When I'm feeling like I want something different I just order randomly from the menu and I can be sure that I won't be disappointed. I don't think that I can get enough of it since it's not one of those things that you can get just anywhere and it's so addictive! I was hesitant to try the Kopi Bun with Chicken Satay and Angus Beef Burger at first because come on, would Kopi Bun and meat go well together? Why, yes it does! The contrast of flavours blends well and turns you into a believer. I can definitely say that I'm a fan. Kopi Roti was just recently renovated and it now looks hip, fun and fresh. But I always thought that it's a great place to hang out because of the comfortable seating area inside and outside, the staff and friendly and the food and drinks are good! You should try it if you haven't already and if you have, well, let me know what you think! and what else you can suggest on the menu.

Its debut in Manila was overshadowed a bit by Wee Nam Kee, but I honestly feel that Boon Tong Kee's food is closer to the true spirit and taste of its Singapore equivalent.

Although authentic Indonesian food is quite tricky to find in Manila, I find that Malaysian restaurants come close (but not quite, yet I can't be choosy). Fortunately, when talking about Malaysian food, I know a handful authentic ones that serve really good, cheap, Halal and affordable food options that remind me of my great days in Jakarta and its neighboring cities. One of such restaurants is Pamanganan Malaysian Restaurant, which is smack in the middle of the Muslim community in Quiapo. This place primarily serves Malaysian food, but they also have Halal versions of food items that non-Muslims usually consider as street food - Halal pizza, non-pork Siomai, etc. They also have Yakan regional cooking, which is rare here in Manila. The Yakans are one of the Muslim tribes in Mindanao, and Pamanganan offers home-style recipes that are really familiar to the Yakans. Anyway, if you are looking for Malaysian and Indonesian food, they have really good nasi goreng, which I always get since it is quintessentially Indonesian. I have also tried the martabak, which is also sold in Indonesia. The martabak is an Arabic crepe that is usually stuffed with savory fillings, but there are also sweet versions. The place quite a shabby yet cozy feel to it. I just wish they didn't spray the dining area with that chemical solution that smells like fabric conditioner (their idea of air freshener). They also advertise an iftar meal platter, which is a nourishing set of dishes that are to be eaten after a Muslim breaks his fast every sundown during Ramadan.
