Grilled pork & chicken w/ beef noodles, Soi 22, Sukhumvit Road
Thailand’s cheap street food are the best. You’ll never go hungry when you go to Thailand, and you don’t have to spend much to taste the best kind of food!

Seafood fried rice, food court, State Railway of Thailand
It was a weird choice for breakfast, but this pretty much energized my friend until it was time for lunch. What a healthy meal (veggies overload)!

Shrimp in red curry sauce, Tha Chang market, Bangkok
The curry mellowed down the saltiness, but it still is an interesting taste to the palette.

Hashbrown, McDonald’s
You should never have a McDonald’s breakfast without it. More than two will give you a papery texture on your tongue though, like the taste of overloading on french fries.

Thai Crunch Salad, California Pizza Kitchen (Dubai Mall, UAE)

Napa & red cabbage, chicken, cucumbers, edamame, wontons, rice sticks, peanuts, cilantro, carrots and scallions tossed with lime-cilantro and Thai peanut dressing.Topped with additional Thai peanut dressing upon request.

Food descriptions in menus are tricky. It makes you salivate only to end up disappointed and hungry in the end. But this one, it’s as good as the description. And healthy too!

Strawberry cake, Dulcelin Gourmet
The icing is just the right kind of sweetness, with lots of fresh strawberries on top. It’s chiffon cake inside, and it’s so soft and fluffy! Their full menu is on their website: http://www.dulcelin.com

Pan Chicken set meal, Pancake House, SM Marikina
I can’t help it. It’s what I order every time I go to Pancake House. Buttery chicken, filling tuna macaroni with iced tea is a very good deal!

Seafood & meat panizza, Uncle Cheffy’s, Nuvali Laguna
I forgot about the tomatoes and alfalfa on my first two slices because this is yummy enough to be eaten on its own!

Coffee jelly w/ ice cream, Villa Escudero, Quezon Province
Caffeine, vanilla, and chocolate syrup combined. A nice way to cool down during that scorching afternoon sun.

Souvlaki, Manos Greek Taverna, Tagaytay City
We were all excited to try out the food in this homey, hole-in-the-wall resto in Tagaytay. I’ve already had my fill of tzatziki before this meal arrived, but I just had to finish this perfectly seasoned pork souvlaki. It came with tzatziki (again) and a few vegetables on the side. I hope to come back to try the lamb shawarma next time!
