When I was in college (yet another one from the college book) I never understood the appeal of Paotsin. My classmates and I would go to the Trinoma food court and a lot of them would often go to Paotsin and I don't think it's because it's cheap since we're at the food court so there are more affordable choices and I did try it at some point but like I said, I never got it.
I did get it post college though which is kind of weird because it's the same Paotsin and the same order. Maybe nostalgia has something to do with it? But I swear it has gotten better, at least for my taste buds and I do love the pandan rice! And surprisingly enough I sometimes crave for it. Luckily, there are Paotsin branches almost everywhere or maybe just the places I frequent.
