What’s tickling your fancy today? Perhaps it’s a well-made sandwich filled with delicious pastrami or an indulgently greasy burger that calls for a quick afternoon snooze. If after a bit of a kick, why not dig into Korean fried chicken or Indian curries with flavourful bowls of biryani. Celebrating a special occassion? Seek out an elegant degustation, or contemporary Japanese fare with some cheeky tipples to boot. No matter the craving, these new Metro Manila and Siargao openings have got you covered.
