Pilipino food



This is what Philippines tourism sites say Philipino food is like. In actual fact, it's more like this:



Which isn't so bad when you are feeling like junk food. But it is hard to find restaraunts serving traditional type local food which is actually very nice when you do find it.

If you are interested, here are some other Philippino fast food places:

  • Jollibee: Probably the most popular takeaway here - the local version of McDonalds. http://www.jollibee.com.ph/default.htm. There is also McDonalds here (of course) as well as Wendy's and Burger King.
  • Chowking: A takeaway Asian restaurant: http://www.chowking.com/
  • Tropical Hut: A Philipino variation on Pizza Hut. There is Pizza Hut here too.
  • Hen Lin: An Asian type take away: http://www.henlin.com.ph/
  • Shakey's: An American-style resteraunt chain.
  • Country Style: An all the basic's takeaway - not too impressed with this one.
  • Delifrance: About the only place that sells bread that isn't sugary. Greenwich is another sandwich type takeaway store which is everywhere: http://www.greenwich.com.ph/
  • KFC: Otherwise known as Kapag Fried Chicken. There is also a Kenny Rogers Fried Chicken! I'll have to try this one.
