Estero Restaurant in Ongpin Chinatown

There are so many best restaurants in the Philippines today and in my visit almost everyday in the Chinatown area where the best Chinese foods are said to be tasted 24/7. I am really pleased to allow some of my readers here at the Best Manila Restaurants blog to know that you do not need to go to the hotels out there to get what your taste buds are craving for.

Chinatown is the home of the best Chinese food. One of which is what the title says - Estero Restaurant. This is actually some sort of an open restaurant where you can find a series of other resto within the resto that cooks Chinese food.

Here, you can choose which condiments and ingredients you want to be put in your food. Some are live fish and other seafoods and the vegies are also fresh. There are also frozen ones but to my experience eating there, the 3 of us only costs Php 500.00 bucks and we had a good time eating the food in 5 courses not including the delicious java rice.

To reach the Estero restaurant, you just have to get in the Chinatown area and ask a few folks inside the town. Estero restaurant is actually located in a bridge just before you get out of Chinatown leading to Binondo area.

If you've ever had a week when you feel depressed, anxious, agitated, angry or one where others commented on your bad mood, then you know that even now our moods fall prey to outside — or inside — influences. Fortunately, we can control one of the biggest culprits: the food we eat.

Scientific research over the last several decades has led to the revolutionary discovery of opiate-like chemicals in the body that associate with opiate specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, the neurotransmitters- which include dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Hormones manufactured by your brain. At the neurochemical and physiological level, neurotransmitters are extremely important, since they carry impulses between nerve cells.

Serotonin is a chemical that helps maintain a "happy feeling," and seems to help keep our moods under control by helping with sleep, calming anxiety, and relieving depression.

Low Serotonin levels are believed to be the reason for many cases of mild to moderate depression which can lead to symptoms like anxiety, apathy, fear, feelings of worthlessness, insomnia and fatigue.

Dopamine, which makes people more talkative and excitable. It affects brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain.

Today, nutritional scientists are finding that certain foods are fixes for less-than perfect moods. Use their knowledge to kill two birds with one legume: Eat well while designing the mood you want.

Van Gogh is Bipolar only serves all natural and authentic happy-hormone-producing foods
Van Gogh FOOD helps you stimulate the production of deficient neurotransmitters- dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine in your brain.
In layman’s term- Van Gogh FOOD triggers the release of happy hormones in your body.
