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.

Best Manila Restaurants in Summer

Summer is the year for the Philippines, particularly in Manila to get more visitors and patrons from around the world. This is the time when tourists flock each year by the thousands here in the Metro Manila for the beaches and water sports. This is the time when people and tourists from cold countries go places where there is a lot sun and where there is water and cozy beaches.

This trend has given the Philippines an edge over other countries because it's not just the beautiful and exotic beaches that abound in the country. The sun is also awesome here. Restaurants also get their share of the fill each time that the New year comes around because it is also the indication that summer is here and the tourists come to the Philippines by bulk.

Some of the best Manila restaurants earn from this condition. In beaches, there are a lot of near beach restaurants where tourists can have their fill of some of the most delicious food both locally and international. There are also a lot of really good places and restaurants to eat for tourists and this makes these restaurants cater to what their customers want.

Anyway, for those of you who might just find this post, you can take a peek at some other post I have here for guide on great restaurants to eat when in Manila. For those of you who are looking for good restaurants in Star City Philippines if you happen to go there and enjoy the fun of the amusement park, there are a few good choice.

Visiting Plaridel Quezon While Looking for Best Restaurants

This coming Holyweek, we are going to visit Plaridel Quezon to unwind and take a short and enjoyable vacation from work. Since this is the only time for us working at the amusement to have a vacation, the technical group decided to go and visit a friend's house in Plaridel Quezon.

I am looking forward to seek some of the best restaurants there for another visit maybe with the family some other time and so this trip hopes that I discover some other places to go to and hopefully get a glimpse of the place and see some possible business ventures in the future there.

This trip is actually not just some ordinary visit and vacation and enjoyment, this is going to be yet another silent business trip to the place and see if I can manage to see something else aside from the great place that await us near the sea.

In this trip, I am also looking forward to see not just the likes of some of the best manila restaurants but also some other venues like the best restaurants in Quezon.

How to Seek for Best Manila Hotels and Restaurants

Best manila hotels and restaurants are just around the corners all over metro manila and I'm proud to say that you cannot only find them in the metro but also in some of the suburb places in resorts, travels places in provinces and also in the remotest areas in the Philippines. This may be attributed to the fact that the people love to eat and love food. This made most places all over Metro Manila and some hidden places become popular with the type of food that caters to all sorts of taste buds and food preferences. Even foreigners would delve into the local food from some of the best hotels and restaurants in the Metro.

Searching for some of the Best Foods and Restaurants

When you are seeking for the best in the republic, you must think first of the specialties of food in each region like for example in the Bicol region where the most popular food are those that cater to taste buds with high preferences in spicy foods, The locals of Bicol, the Bicolanos really love to eat foods that are cooked literally with full chili garnishes and this is an ordinary way of life and an everyday living for them. Such good examples of best foods are the "Laing" (a great food cooked with coco milk and garnished fully with chili). Another best food to taste is the vmost popular Bicolano delicacy - "Bicol express".

Japanese Restaurant to Open at the SM Mall of Asia

A Japanese restaurant is about to open a branch at the SM Mall of Asia according to the Inquirer.net, an online news website in the Philippines. The Japanese fastfood chain that I
am talking about is the Yoshinoya Japanese restaurant.

Japanese food had long been a part of the regular and popular best Manila restaurants series here in the Philippines and the Filipinos love to eat Japanese foods also as one of the most desired on the line among the best restaurants. With the popularity of Japanese foods, the famous Tokyo Tokyo restaurant is probably the most stable of all. Yoshinoya Restaurant is now targeting to be on the top front line who thrives to be a part of the weekend tradition of Filipino families on going to the mall and eating when they have time together.

Best Manila Restaurants, Anyone?

A Quest For The Best Manila Restaurants

What exactly is your definition of the best Manila restaurants? Is it better to be based in services rendered, amenities that they have or the people that populate the place. Well, if I were to be asked about this simple question I would say only one and they can not be found in the three aspects I mentioned above that most restaurant fanatics would go for. That is “comfort”.

What's In It With The Restaurant?

Would you believe that our of ten (10) people I have asked including myself on what specific traits did they like on their favorite restaurants in Manila, 4 answered me that it is the way they feel when they eat at the restaurant that makes them stay. Yes ! it is simply “comfort” that triggers them to go back on and on and on in a single restaurant in Manila that they like even if they have to wait the whole evening just for the seats to go vacant.

A Busy Restaurant by Night

I actually have a good example for this and it goes like when people work late at night and they are hungry even before reaching the house, one of the best Manila restaurants the they go to is a local and not so cozy restaurant somewhere in Bambang. The restaurant offers cuisines that are very familiar to the masses of evening workers and they vary from tapsilog, longsilog, dasilog, malingsilog, pares, tocilog, chicksilog and many other delicacies that are plainly cooked using cooking oil and is always served hot with egg, garlic fried rice and soup. It is true that most evening workers today would prefer to go for this local manila deli. They range from 27 Php up to 50 Php which is a true Manila restaurant price for the local midnight worker who is hungry with soup and fried rice.

How do you Find Your Restaurant?

For this reason I came in one day and tried to satisfy the curiosity in me with ordering and eating a deli that I have once favorited ar home. After all the commotions, sips and spoon and fork tangling, I found out that the restaurant is not that much of an ideal family dinner treat or lunch treat at all. The place is very small and crowded, especially in the late evening dinners and midnight snacks. What I found odd about the set up of that late evening Manila restaurant is that despite the overloaded capacity of the small place, they still manage to fill their reservation seats up to an extension which runs to the sidewalks of the main jeepney streets in Avenida and Bambang.

Burning Restaurant Intrigues

Now, the question is, what makes all those regular eaters in that evening Manila restaurant come back for more. It can’t be the service which as I saw many times is very poor and slow and inaccurate and would not even fall as a classy one. No, not even with the atmosphere of the place because setting aside my own personal preferences, I would not even touch the plates as I eat and the glass is glossy with oil as many regulars would even know and not miss out. So the amenities and environment is out of the picture. It couldn’t even be because of the types of people that delve in the place because I cannot find any class at all especially when the accommodation of the seat is concerned. Imagine being served with your dinner in the middle of the sidewalks? Who would take a second night out in the place if that is your definition of a dinner night out? No, not my type even but what makes them all come back for more? I can’t say that it’s because of the cheap price that is the culprit.

What's With The Midnight Restaurant, Then?

If it’s not the service, not the environment, not the price and not even the special amenities of that Manila restaurant, then what could it be? Could it be because people feel comfortable that way? To answer this question, I will have to have a part two on this one because it surely deserve a second taste of the cuisine in that Manila restaurant and I would sched a visit sometime next week and probably talk to the owner of the establishment for a short interview to settle things out with this one. “I deserve a treat” !!!
