Food is really what the Philippines is all about. In fact, even if you aren't hungry, you're still going to eat. If you just ate, you're still going to eat. If you just barfed all over your shirt, you'll probably find youself eating something in about 10 minutes. If you're so full that you're about to burst, you might get away with just talking about what you're going to eat tomorrow!This is why we love the Philippines. See the dish on the left. Thats BBQ chicken, lumpia (spring rolls), pancit and java rice... All bought at the food court of Shoe Mart for 65 pesos. Thats like $1.50. Not bad. You can get by and eat well for under $5 bucks a day.
Yeserday we spent time in Makati which is a very modern area in Manila. It's basically an enormous mall with everything you may or may not ever need.It's also full of restaurants and fast food joints where you can...um eat! Check out this new sandwich at Rotten Ronnie's (McDonalds)... McRice... Bread has been substituted with a Rice patty of some sort. Very asian.
