Fortune Court

If you're a big Dimsum fan, you'll probably love this place; and the best thing about it is that they have a promo, pay only Php48.00 on selected Dimsum. 

Mien San

I’ve been going to this place since I was in college, and it has been years since I last visited this place. I was a little surprised about the prices of their food, but since I was really hungry I decided to take a seat and order.

Their menu has an extensive selection of noodle soup, but I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup because it had a very clean and refreshing taste and the Spicy Wonton. 

Overall, the quality did not change throughout the years, the food is still excellent, but the parking remains the same, it's still a hassle.

Mann Hann (SM Mezza Residences)

Mann Hann serves delicious Chinese Dishes. What makes them different is the restaurant's interior minimalist design. Price range is from Php150.00 to Php400.00

Polland Bakery

They are famous for their Hopia and other Chinese Delicacies; but what I really like about the place is their Kutchai-ah (PHP35.00) and Fresh Lumpia (PHP70.00), treats that I never fail to buy when we visit the place.

This place is one of the places where you can get good hopia aside from Eng Bee Tin, and their prices are so affordable. 

Freshwater Fishing Village and Resort

If you’re an amateur angler and you want to practice, this is the perfect place for you. Their pond is filled with Red Tilapia which is quite expensive in the market, ordinary tilapia and Cream Dory. The entrance fee is only PHP150.00 and you pay PHP150.00 for every kilo that you catch. Not a bad deal considering that a kilo of Red Tilapia would normally cost PHP220.00 in the market.

Just bring food and drinks, because there’s no store nearby, anyway there’s no corkage fee.

It’s an hour and a half away from Manila via NLEX. The place is quite difficult to find, but once you’re in Barangay Magalang, Pampanga, just ask around. 

Abe's Farm

I love going to this place. It’s an hour and a half away from Manila via NLEX. Going here can be very challenging, but it’s worth the effort.

The interior is very rustic and the place is surrounded by lush vegetation, which gives dining a very comforting experience.

Service tends to be a little slow, but what they lack in that aspect, they make up for it with the food.

They serve traditional Filipino cuisine; however, they are quite popular with their exotic dishes. It is a little bit pricey, but I would still recommend this place, especially for special occasions.

Uncle Cheffy Greenfield District

I ordered the Pork Ribs BBQ (1000g) and it came with a bowl of rice pilaf good for two, the serving was extremely huge. I believe it could feed 3 people; good thing I was not alone.  Food was ok and the price was just right; for PHP595.00, I can’t complain.
