The laksa is good for sharing. It has a very coconut-y taste with some spice. The noodles are complemented with shabu-shabu balls. A meal in itself. The hainanese chicken was light, tender and flavorful. I love the curry with pork, and the vegetables were just simple yet delicious. Delicious and affordable, this restaurant is always packed, and with clear reasons too.

A Michelin-star restaurant? Here???…read more When I was younger, I never paid attention to Michelin star restaurants. It might be safe to assume I've only gone to a few and they were good and incredibly fancy. But today, without meaning to, well, I got to try a one-star Michelin restaurant : Hawker Chan. Hawker Chan originated in Singapore. The food is supposedly so good and so cheap that locals keep coming back to this restaurant. Since Filipinos are always out for franchising food around the world, I wasn't surprised this restaurant got to the Philippines somehow. Hawker Chan is situated inside SM Mall of Asia, next to the restaurant Chicken Inasal (roasted chicken restaurant, which is a local favorite) in the entertainment mall just below the cinemas. The place is clean, no lines, the restaurant was at 70% capacity, and the staff was pretty efficient. You ordered from a menu at the counter and they bring the food to you when its done. I ordered the char siew pork with vegetable noodles, it came with cooked pechay (bokchoy). The pork was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the noodles were just how I like my noodles. Together though they were enough to satisfy my hunger in precise portions; I was glad I didn't order side dishes like veggies or tofu. Hubs got the regular noodles and roasted pork. He thought it was just okay. I think the thing that will have people keep coming back is the price : each meal is only ₽178 ($3-ish dollars) and if you do the add-ons (like marinated egg), you'll end up spending about ₽248 ($5). Sweetened iced tea is ₽50 and bottled water is ₽30. For a meal just a little over ₽500 between two people, this place is a gem. I also really liked the wait staff; I asked them to lower the AC / adjust the central cooling vent that was blasting icy air towards us, and they obliged. All in all, Hawker Chan was an experience for me, maybe a little overhyped than it should, but wow, I got to eat in a Michelin-starred restaurant! Hah. If you ever want to go to Hawker Chan, be prepared for the crowd at MOA: its the 4th biggest mall in Asia (supposedly). Lots of parking buildings to accomodate thousands of shoppers and mall goers. There's a school built above one of the new parking structures now too!

I was looking for vegan food in Manila when I tripped upon 101 Hawker Food House. To be honest, I…read moredidn't care what kind of food it was as long as I could get vegan food. 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.

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. For some reason, both local chains just can't replicate the original flavor. I guess it's a mystery that will be left unsolved. Going back to Boon Tong Kee and its merits, they aren't half-bad. Their coffee pork ribs tickle your palate like no other. And of course, let's not forget the star of the show: the chicken.

You don't really know what could have gone wrong. Could it be the change in water, chicken, or spices? Either way, it just doesn't taste the same, which is a shame. If you're going to eat the Hainanese Chicken Rice without the Singapore perspective (or turn a blind eye) however, the local version quickly turns decent. For some reason that really boggles the mind, we just can't copy chicken rice for the life of us. So if you're hankering for some chicken rice, you might as well go to Wee Nam Kee because they have the whole formula down. Just order, drink your soup, put some chili and ginger on your chicken, and eat. This'll be the closest you'll get outside of Singapore so it isn't that bad.

My kid is always tempted to touch everything on display and it can be frustrating chasing after her in a crowded restaurant. We will forever and ever always order the Personal Set of Steamed Hainanese Chicken which comes with an addicting but extremely sinful chicken rice, sides of veggies and a clear broth. Their mango shake isn't too sweet either so it's perfect for kids who need to wind down for their afternoon naps. One star less because of the crowds and the stress it brings to a haggard parent.

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!
