max they say is better than kfc... but it sucks big time
jolly bee is the only one i can tahan to some extent...
Oh yes this one Mang Inasal not bad at Marquee Mall. hope i got the spelling right
but the downside of visiting marquee mall is the trikes will kill u in terms of pricing... since they have a monopoly down there...
these days they have fresh coconut juice in the phils.... guys please drink up...
protects the liver and against dehydration as well
Max, Aristocrat, chowking and most their fast food chains sucks man. Too salty for me. Jollybee is so so and over rated but still better than chowking. The food is expensive for the small portion they give IMHO. Go there cause the girls want to go if not I never go Jollybee. I actually prefer the chicken and hotdogs from Ministop than from chowking etc. A cheap and quick alternatives. hehehe
As for Buko fresh in philippines. I have some of the best buko when I am in Tagatay. The restaurants at Tagaytay is unbelieveable good if you like Bulalo, sisig or filipino food. Price can get a bit upscale. I paid like $200 for a party of 17 last time. Brought my gf and family to go there see the Tal Volcano and enjoy the cool weather. Machiam like Genting there.
BTW i just met a pinoy guy average look dating a singaporean sq flight stewardess... woo hoo...
bro just do it online its easier... i do it online these days... so many sites... have to pay but still better than meeting on the road... he he...
I managed to get a few response for DIA for girls in Manila. For Singapore, DIA don't work as well man. Any good online to recommend for Singapore hunting? hehehe.
I know a few cases where the pinoy guy bola bola Singaporean girls so much so the girl fall in love with him and give him money man. What a waste.
Most foreigners will be shocked at how salty filipino cooking is. I guess its because salt is used to preserve the freshness of ingredients at source.
I was at the fish wholesaler and I saw the packing of fishes in boxes. Salt was freely thrown on the fishes before it is sealed for transportation. This salt gets absorbed into the fish and after time the taste buds of filipinos adjust to a higher tolerance of salt. Leaving us foreigners not understanding why their food is so salty. Same applies to meat and poultry.
The absence of a refrigerator in many homes in the provinces also necessitates the use of salt to preserve the food.
Bro,
I really admire the things like charity you do in Philippines. I am also affected by the amount of poverty when I am there. So much so that now aday, things or clothes that I don't need, I just pay $90 and stuffed all of it into a LBC Box to my gf place in Taguig and there she will distribute it to all her relatives or friends.
when the professor speaks we must listen silently....
now we know why the food is so salty....
thanks bro.... better understanding of their culture now....

Clap clap. You doing the right thing.
Now you need to see for yourself all your donated items being proudly worn by the people there.

Rather than give the local charity or salvation army where they will throw away all those clothes. I am packing all my old books, toys, clothes, obsolete electronic items (VCD players, Cables, PCMIA card etc) to PH. I may go buy some chocolates from Lucky Plaza and dump it in as incentives to the kids there. hee

Will be in Pi Sep 21 - Oct 8 and Oct 18 - Nov 5. AC from Oct 3-8 and Oct 26-Nov 5. Hope our dates same.
Samar and Leyte are where the poorest people are with little economic opportunities. Its also where many AC girls come from. After many years of doing the AC thing, I decided to move on to new areas of activities while I still can.
Charity tourism gives me the chance to experience travel, sight seeing and understanding the people better. My best benefit is the new high I get from the happiness I bring to the less fortunate.
I usually visit the friends I met in AC who act as my guide and maybe "more", in the provinces. I maintain a no girlfriend policy and thus can have many special friends. So no jealousy is allowed from any special friend.
Chow King sucks to the max man...Too Salty and taste like shit. No punt intended but really it is the worse chinese food i ever have in PH. Don't know why pinoy like it so much for what?
To them, Chow King is what Chinese food should taste like and they all love it b/c it is cook to their taste ( of course Jollybee is always their 1st choice)
I do believe the free hourly shuttle to Checkpoint is still running. Check with the info counter there. Avoid the trikes if you cannot get the price you want. Go to the jeep stand and see what's available.
Yes, the free bus to the M-Mall was still running during my recent visit. There is also a stop on McArthur near the casino.

Sad u are encouraging them to be more lazy than they already are.
Why need to work for food and clothes when u can get them for free ?

That why I dont think I will ever see filipino food in the world cuisine at all. U seen japanese, korean chinese, thai type of foods opening all parts of the world. Where will you see filipino food?? Only if there is a large filipino community cause only filipino will eat filipino food. I ate filipino food not because I really like it (I love the lechon, bulalo though) but because the girls want to eat it. I got to bring her to this filipino restaurant at roxy square once a month just to fulfill her craving for home food.
