UNITE!!!

August 13, 2009

Food Glorious Food!!!  Any true blooded filipino embarks on the quest for -the search of the best food available, in the best possible form at the best possible prices.   A few would not mind paying for that once in a lifetime unforgettable meal, but no matter how satisfying the meal..the nagging question of whether it was all worth it…always creeps into our thoughts. Lately, we have seen local books published directing us to the best meals available in the country.  But at WHAT PRICE!!!  One book would claim a “moderately priced meal” for the price of a thousand bucks, and a “cheap meal” being…ta dah! 500 pesos! Ok…let me guess.. in my own plebian mind, that one needs to have a disposable income *(one which one can easily get rid of without blinking an eye.) of about 15 thousand to 30 thousand pesos—-well, even that is considered to be so-so.

So FELLOW FOODIES.   The question is.. can we not find a decent place in the whole of manila that can serve pleasurable food for the majority whose pockets are not as endowed as others? If I was Juan de la Cruz or Juanna, where can I treat myself (other than the ubiquitous fast food and carinderia) and still feel like royalty, served quality, fine or even gourmet food.

The second question is..How much is cheap…How much is moderate….and how much would you consider as the high end, but still affordable. (after all, we filipinos can always find someone with a birthday, or any other shallow reason to celebrate.)

So…..ALL FELLOW FOODIES, LET US UNITE!!!!. Let us give an answer to Singapore’s hawker centers, and Malaysian mamak’s . Our national pride is at STAKE!!!!!
