Chic-Boy Chicken at Baboy
This fast food joint's offerings run the whole gamut of beloved Pinoy favorites, but they're most well known for their chicken inasal, Cebu lechon manok, and Cebu lechon liempo. Try their Chibog Busog Meals, where you can get a meaty piece of chicken or liempo with soup and unlimited rice for P99. (see next slide for Chic-Boy's MUST-TRIES)

IMC Kavino
IMC stands for International Master Chef, and Kavino is multi-awarded chef Kavino Lau, who is the man behind the Cantonese fusion cuisine of this newly opened restaurant. The chef's ingenuity shines through in dishes like Takoyaki, which is a deconstructed version of the Japanese snack, nestled in lettuce leaves. Pick it up and eat it like a taco! (see next slide for IMC Kavino's MUST-TRIES)

Korea Garden
If you're hankering for authentic Korean food, head to the first Korean restaurant in the country. Korea Garden has been around for so long (30 years!) that they're practically considered an institution. Try their Korean dinner sampler, which offers appetizers, soup, rice, kalbijim, chapchae, nackchi bogum (spicy octopus), and mandu (dumplings) - all at P1,200 for a party of two. (see next slide for Korea Garden's MUST-TRIES)

Try one of their authentic recipes at home, here: Pajeon (Korean Scallion Pancakes)

Miss B's Tuckshop
Comfort food is what it's all about here: burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Though the menu is limited, it's only because the chefs are committed to sourcing all products locally, even going as far as making their own ketchup themselves. A charming cafe with a cause - we're smitten! (see next slide for Miss B's Tuckshop's MUST-TRIES)

Queens Crystal Garden
Indian food can be tricky, but Queens does it so well. Enjoy their superb Tandoori Chicken, have it with some Parda Biryani (a chapatti-covered bowl of basmati rice, scented with cloves and cardamom pods), and wash it all down with a tall glass of Mango Lassi. Your Indian food faves are all accounted for here, but so are a few dishes you probably haven't had before, and that's the best part. With such an extensive menu, you'll never run out of new things to try and reasons to keep coming back. (see next slide for Queens Crystal Garden's MUST-TRIES)
