It's gotta be bread withour sugar and proper sandwiches.

My wife is now a convert to "proper sandwiches". They're home made with proper crusty bakers bread various delicious fillings. Her favourite is cheese and pickle! Masarap!

oh yeah! proper sandwich indeed!

Bread, butter and any choice of fillings! (Butter really makes the sandwich tastes nicer!!!)

Before it was a NO NO for me as I find it quite yuckie & eeewyyy...
Just imagine: Bread with butter and Jam filling or Bread with butter & jam + peanutbutter!!!? lol But now, butter is a MUST!!!





To add:

PROPER STEAK! Medium rare or rare not too well done hehehe...

[Tawi2]

PROPER STEAK?Not chewy,elastic,shoe-leather like,20 year old carabao then

A friend and I scoured Manila and Cebu for a decent Indian restaurant a few years ago. We never found one. But to clarify, we were looking for an "English style Indian", which is different to an "Indian Indian". We even tried some of the places in the Indian enclave of Manila, but it wasn't what we were looking for.

Back then, a few places came close. Persian Palate in Cebu was OK, but I don't know if it's still open. They had a branch in Ayala and one downtown.

Recently, a decent Indian has opened in Makati. It's on Jupiter St, but I can't remember the name. It's not far from Makati Ave.

Probably the best one that I've been to is on Boracay. The food is nice and it's a great place to hang out, with low tables and cushions on the floor. Try one of their plain lassis!

But none of the restaurants compare to a late-night Indian after a few beers. Don't forget the poppadoms and chutney wheel!

I think I saw the indian resto with the scatter-cushions Jamesey,was it at station 2?Just to add the worst Indian meal I ever ate was actually in Delhi,the best was in Southall or Hounslow,as you rightly said "English/indian" is different to "Indian/indian"

Yes, it's near Boat Station 2 and has got a nice upstairs area.

I'm glad that you know what I'm on about with the "English Indian" thing. I was worried that everyone would think I'm mad!!!!

No mate,theres a big difference,the chicken "Curries" I had in India were basically chicken legs floating in Ghee They tasted "Fowl" The Indian resto I was in the other week in Davao only sells mild curries,the Indian/Canadian owner told me no one ever asks for hotter,and local people even find the mild a little too spicy

In fact we could sent the lot over there, im sure they wont be claiming any return flights on expenses.

My perfect steak:
> atleast an inch and a half thick,
> you can actually taste the meat itself (not very well marinated) just appreciate the taste of the meat rather than the overpowering flavours.. (hehe hard to explain, hope you get what I mean? lol)...

How about Tesco's Diet Orange? ... beats Coke, Sprite, 7-Up, etc., anyday, and a 2-litre bottle is infinitely less expensive into the bargain!

[charlwill]

Fish and chip shops!

Harry Ramsdens used to have a branch in Hong Kong,in Wanchai,they also intended to open a branch in Singapore to cater for ex-pats,dont know if they ever did though?Best fish and chip suppers in Asia but sadly they never made it to pinas.

In the city where I come from we had restaurant there that sell a decent fish and chips. Lol.

Where's that then? ... DO tell!

[charlwill]

Where's that then? ... DO tell!

That's in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.

[Tawi2]

The city of smiles?Where about in Bacolod?One of the restos in Goldenfields complex?

Yes, it is indeed a city of smiles. Nop, not in Goldenfield. It is in Dona Juliana Subd. , Hernaiz Street.

[Tawi2]

I was on Negros a few weeks ago,only went to Dumaguete this time but I have been to Bacolod often when getting a boat over to Iloilo-guimaras,I will look for the shop next time I am there,is it owned by an expat?

Oh ok. Not so sure about it, but that is a very good resto. I will talk to my friends and will tell you the name of that place.

[Arthur Little]

1. to say please and thank you.
2. do not stand on the left side of escalators so that other people can over take,especially on the train terminal.
3. must have cycle track for people who likes to go to work by bicycle.

1. No need! Filipinos, on the whole, are already better-versed in using the words "please and thank you" than most Brits ... and the children are better mannered, [in MY experience, anyway]!

2. Hadn't noticed, so cannot comment.

3. In total agreement.

Ach, to pot (pot), can I be ?typically unBritish (just joking) and extend to you a belated warm welcome to this site.
