Wham! Burgers

Craving for a super tasty 1/3 pound heavy weight burger? Try the "Wham! Burgers" for a change. They got different selections of burgers and fries. A great food buddy while watching a movie. I love their Bronco burger though I can't finish the whole thing. Make sure you are hungry if you are to order one for this is very filling. Meat is cooked the way it is, in spite of the size it is not too messy and you can really taste the flavor and burgen bun is not soggy. They have different braches everywhere the metro but so far I have tried the one in Robinson's Place Mall in Ermita, Malate Manila plus another one along Katipunan. if I remember right the first time I tasted this was when I watched Transformers 2. I must say one of the BEST burger in town!

Som's Noodle House

Great Thai food that is affordable not to mention the generous serving doesn't come by easily especially if you are looking for that distinct taste. Try Som's Noodle House- it's a turo-turo/ carinderia style resto in a posh location. They have variety of viands, noodles and fried rice to choose from. Whenever we go here we always order their Phad Thai with Shrimp, Spring Rolls and Cat Fish Salad. One of our favorite take outs when craving for something spicy and tasty. Though it does not compare to those authentic Thai restaurant but it is definitely worth the price. The usual comment I get when I bring my friends with me to eat there is that they put too much sugar on almost all dishes. I don't know why that is but I think their food will taste better if they don't put much. I usually request my dish cooked more spicy and less sweet so my order taste better. You can choose from beef, chicken or shirmp to go with your order of noodles or rice.


This Noodle house is literally just a house with tons of tables outside. I suggest to come early to get a table or just order for take outs. Tis place gets really packed especially during meal hours. Parking is very difficult beacuse you just park on side streets so I always end up calling to order ahead and just pick it up.

The Soup Kitchen

When you want a light meal for lunch or dinner this is the best place to go not to mention healthy. They've got a full bowl, half bowl and quarter bowl (dine in only) sizes for soup. They got salads and sandwiches too (full and half). Combo meal can be half soup and half sandwich of any choice...which I recommend since not everyone can finish a full bowl for it is filling. I was glad they put up the resto in Makati again. The previous resto was located at Gloriette 2 was wiped out by the bomb blast.
