After seeing how they made or even serve their food in the hawkers in Singapore, it put me off.Also, I'm not really a big fan of curry and their spices. Although I like Malaysian curry. It's not stinky like the Indian curry.
Quite a few Indian restaurants in Makati: Indian restaurants in Makati
Chowking is a mix of Filipino-Chinese cuisine. If you want authentic Chinese, plenty of them in Binondo, where the China town is. http://outoftownblog.com/top-10-must...rants-binondo/
I grew up eating Chinese food, having a Chinese blood in me that's a given. We usually dine in Chinese restaurants that are not really posh but all servants and cook are Chinese.
