Soup isn't too big here in Manila. Perhaps its our tropical climate. You don't hear people say "I'm…read morecraving for big bowl of hot vegetable soup right now!" too often. But, I love soup! And on this particular day I saw that The Soup Kitchen had a tomato-based veggie soup (I'm vegan), but I was taken aback by the price as it's a bit too spendy--the smallest bowl for already Php 125? Well, I was starving and there wasn't much else appropriate for vegans at Cash and Carry's food kiosks, so might as well give it a shot. The soup was pretty flavorful, and I enjoyed it, though I wouldn't say it was remarkable. But I do know that if this cost me Php 60 I would be delighted. For Php 125, one would expect more, so I did. Oh well?

Every once in a while, you come across a unique little food kiosk that will just reel you in with…read moreits novelty. That's how the siomai thing got started, how takoyaki got started, and so many others. I don't know if there's a lot of this already but I thought it was pretty one of a kind when I saw this soup kiosk, aptly titled The Soup Kitchen. I've always been a soup person, especially since my mom loves to experiment and create different types of soups at home. This food kiosk indulges exactly that kind of curiosity with an attractive display of black commercial soup warmers all arranged in a neat row at the very facade of the kiosk. Just that, nothing else. There's about seven or eight different types of soup and you just pick which one you want and the attendant serves it to you. You can choose among a quarter, half, or full bowl sizes or get one of the meal-type items where the soup comes in a bread bowl and you can have a sandwich on the side. The soup menu changes everyday from their bank of over a hundred soup recipes which they make from the freshest ingredients. It's pretty pricey for a food kiosk type of thing at about Php120 and up, but it can be a decent, healthy meal, and soup is always good!

I like Nagi's Tamago than Ippudo's. But I think Yushoken's is up-top a bit on that department. Ippudo has the best chopsticks (over) Nagi (over) Yushoken. Ippudo's noodles (over) Yushoken (over) Nagi for me. Broth-wise: Yushoken for creamy and fullness (over) Nagi's Black regular. But like I've said, depends what on your preference. Fatty oil with Ippudo's. House tea. Nagi's Mugicha (over) Ippudo's green tea. We didn't get to try Yushoken's; we opted to go Super Dry ^^ Last but not least, I went with Nagi's pork belly for a change of texture. That was bomb. #food #diet #nutrition #noodles

From the outside, it looks perfectly like a typical friendly neighborhood carinderia but once you…read morestep inside, prepare to be amazed. The place has a receptionist. Let me reiterate that, a carinderia with a receptionist. This just goes to show that this sturdy and seasoned establishment is continuously expanding to improve its menus and services. Bulalo, their bestseller, is just totally exquisite. I have never tasted any other version that compared to theirs. One serving of Special Bulalo can already be shared by 2-3, or even 4, not-so-hungry persons. Soup is refillable so you can enjoy more of it to your heart's content. Surprisingly, considering that it was lunch time and the place crowded, service was still really quick and this special dish was served to us in a jiffy. My friend and I did not experience the torment of anticipating this heavenly yet sinful meal. This meek and humble place only proves that you should never judge a restaurant by its facade or interiors. Will I be back? Hell yeah.

Tried this place out of curiosity - how was it different to a regular North Park branch?…read more Well it turns out not that different at all! LOL Basically, the only difference is that you can choose what type of noodle you want with your soup dish. Hong Kong style (thin egg noodle); Shanghai style (thick noodle)... i forget the other one's But seriously, why give diners a choice on varying a classic Wanton noodle soup! ? ! ? ! Personally, I'm a fan of North Park - but i don't see the added value of choosing Next Door (which is literally across the road from North Park)... Ill stick with NP.

I have always seen Pho Hoa in malls, but I never bothered to try it until two weeks ago. I heard…read morethat Vietnamese dishes use a lot of vegetables in their food and I am not all about that life. If I am going to pay a lot of money for good food, might as well spend it on a big juicy burger or a large slice of meat-lovers pizza. Last week, when I went out with my grandparents for lunch, we decided to eat in Pho Hoa. I wasn't too excited, but I can't really say no to my grandparents. Once we stepped inside, we were immediately greeted by a waitress who was more than happy to answer all of our questions regarding their menu. I ordered their Vermicelli Bowl, which included noodles, grilled chicken, veggies, and deep-fried spring rolls; it is also served with a clear sweet and sour sauce with lemon grass. I am not going to lie--I liked the whole dish. I can't get over the taste of the deep-fried spring rolls and the grilled chicken. From the taste and texture of the vegetables, it's easy to know that they are fresh. It's always good to try something new every once in a while. I thought I would hate Pho Hoa, but I ended up loving it! This one deserves a 5 out of 5.

So, if I need a quick fix, I promised myself that I will only go to a Pho Hoa! I love this place. I always get the pho bo here and it's so good. The beef broth is very flavorful and the pieces of beef are super tender. It never disappoints! Plus, compared to other places, when you order a large bowl, you get a heap of noodles and meats. Other places will just fill your bowl with more broth to make it look like a bigger portion. Also, the dipping sauce is on the sweeter side but it goes very well with the fried spring rolls and pomelo salad! So happy that this place is a quick drive away. Thank you for being an old reliable. Yay! :)

The fun is inventive with a hint of traditional. We had the okoy, spring rolls, adobo 3 ways, binagongan fried rice, kapampangan sisig and because of the Thai folds around the place some pad thai which was surprisingly spicy! Good flavors, tender when it needs to be and crispy when it should be. The only complaint was it was a bit too salty and the portion was small which is okay if you re a small party but any party 5 or more would need to order a couple of the same plates for everyone to get a taste. Service was okay and friendly but super slow. I would recommend a try. Parking is nuts!

Bullchef intrigued me immediately as soon as I saw the name of the place I wanted to try it. Bullchef offers classic Filipino comfort food but it's their bulalo they're most famous for and definitely what you should try when you go here. Bullchef offers classic bulalo which is their best-seller but it's their twists on bulalo that keep diners raving. Bullchef offers items like bubalo sinigang, bulalo sisig, and sizzling bulalo. These riffs on the classic bulalo soup are both unique and extra tasty. Another bonus is that Bullchef has huge portions at a cheap price, majority of the meals are less than P200, and that's inclusive of at most 2 cups of rice, such a great deal! Bullchef may not be your first choice as visually it is cramped and more of a karinderya feel but once you try their food you will be coming back constantly.

(Well, the first floor is small, but the 2nd floor supposedly seats larger groups.) I'm not a big fan of Bulalo, so trying their famed dish didn't really do much for me personally. So my word on the matter is untrustworthy. Haha! HOWEVER, other menu items were similarly slightly underwhelming, while others were enjoyable. Their tapa was good. Their kangkong was too submerged in sauce, resulting in an unpleasant soggy texture, and, well, saltiness. Their sisig loaded nachos were a star, as was the bullsisig. My opinion on their food being totally mixed aside, I enjoyed my late night meal here, as the value for money was good, and the place was nearly empty during that time. They've got a veggie burger I want to try, so I'll be going back here!
