  Tramway, Shaw Blvd. Great Bargain

I have been to 2 tramway branches, Timog and Benawe, many times before and was surprised to know that they have a branch in Mandaluyong City. I must say that this is the best among the three. For a price difference of about 40 pesos compared to its other two branches, you get a way lot more here in Mandaluyong branch. Aside from the usual table fare you can get in these two branches, you get the following: 1. A make-your-own noodle soup bar 2. Make-your-own pasta corner 3. Four kinds of siopao 4. Assorted cakes for the desserts 5. More variety of dishes 6. Wider space, better and cooler ambience. 7. Spoon and fork are wrapped individually in plastic and are more presentable. 8. Water pitcher can be requested on the table 9. And many more improvements over its two older branches. There are more variety of food and more dishes to choose from, and they are all generally great tasting and well prepared. At 238 per head, it's indeed a big bargain and more than your money's worth.

  Mongkok, Glorietta 5 Great for its Price!

  "I have always enjoyed eating at Mongkok so when a buying site offered a 50% percent discount voucher..." I have always enjoyed eating at Mongkok so when a buying site offered a 50% percent discount voucher for a lunch/dinner BUFFET, I had no second thoughts of purchasing a couple of vouchers. For around 300 pesos, eat and drink all you can, I would say the menu was substantial. Included in the menu during our visit were he following: salt and pepper squid, sweet and sour fish, lemon chicken, spicy pork spare ribs, yang chow fried rice, canton noodles, another stir fried dish with meat and egg plants and another vegetable dish, soup and buchi for dessert. Your choice of ice tea or lemonade. I would have loved it more if they included some of their dimsum items though. Totally worth 300 pesos but I would have second thoughts if I have to pay the regular price of 600 pesos.

  Grams Diner, Alabang Fool's Diner

  "One Friday night my friend and I went here to unwind. Place looks good with its airy white interiors..." One Friday night my friend and I went here to unwind. Place looks good with its airy white interiors and probably copied from US diners. We ordered Corned Beef Breakfast, Mac Bacon n Cheese, Hot Choco, and a Fruitshake. We were really hoping the quality of the food is 1st class. After all, they are imitating a US diner. When the Hot Choco arrived, I was surprised to see a tall whip cream on top of it. I was forced to order another drink, because I hate whip creams. The menu doesn't say it has a whip cream, so the waiter should have informed me when I ordered. The Mac Bacon n Cheese is a disappointment. We are hoping for a huge serving, and what we got is a tiny bowl the size of a tea cup. The taste is just so-so. The serving of the Corned Beef Breakfast is not big as well, just average plate. The corn beef is OK, but the scrambled egg that came with it is just so plain, they should have added some salt n pepper. The toast is so plain as well, no marmalade, no butter, nothing. And to make things worse, our bill is more than P800. BTW, I have eaten on real US diners, and the food in Grams Diner is far far inferior.

  Burger King, Gateway Mall Still at it's best

They still continue to offer quality burgers for years and I should say the burgers are still at it's best. On top of my list is the Whopper and BBQ Bacon and Cheese. The fries are cooked just right too. But another reason I love BK is their Hi-C Apple Juice which is a great alternative from the usual soda you order. Indeed a great bang for your bucks.

• Serenitea, San Juan

  Serenitea, San Juan Poor service and customer care

  "Went in to the San Juan branch as a regular customer for over three years. Ordered my regular drink ..." Went in to the San Juan branch as a regular customer for over three years. Ordered my regular drink 'large hokkaido, 25% sugar level, with pearls and pana cotta' Got the drink to go as usual. Half way through my drink I was finally able to sip the pana cotta. However, I noticed that it had an unusual and different taste. So I made the effort to go back to ask the staff to see if it was spoiled. They tried a new batch of their own and neglected to try the pana cotta in my drink. They claimed that it was okay, failing to try the sample that was in my order. I don't see how that was the right way to treat heir customers. In the end they just ignored my complaint, which led me to leave my half finished spoiled drink to the cashier. As a regular loyal customer to Serenitea, I am very disappointed with their service and the way they handle such complaints.

Food servings in Mr. Jones are huge and can be shared ( if not too hungry ) that's why the prices aren't really that expensive if you think about it. Been coming back here more to chill and relax on Sundays as they have board games and other stuff to keep you busy. It isn't really in the special and to die for category. I take my hats off however for their customer service. We had clam chowder one time and it was too salty. I was hungry so it didn't bother me that much. When we got the bill, my partner made a side comment to the waiter that the chowder was too salty. It wasn't really complaining as I finished the bowl, it was more of a reminder for next time's order. We were pleasantly surprised when the bill came without the chowder charged. They gave it complimentary because of it being too salty. Now, thats what I call customer service! It's compensating and making things right without waiting for the customer to complain and become irate. They knew they made a mistake and they made up for it. Even my big toes are giving them thumbs up for that!

I was looking at another website's list of top fish & chips, when I came across the name of this restaurant. I decided then to have dinner with my husband there. We ordered the mussels appetizer, the fish & chips & the tomato pesto pasta. The latter was our fave, it was so yummy! I found the fish quite salty for my taste. The ambiance is really nice. It was quite pricey, but I think it was all worth it, considering the large servings. All was good to share.

  La Dolce Vita Steakhouse, Ermita Good food. Good ambiance. Fair prices.

I have been here twice already and the food has been consistently good. I would recommend their Quattro Frommagi pizza, with a drizzle of balsamic reduction to counter the sharp blue cheese, and their pastas and risottos. The only thing I do not really like about the place is that it smells of cigarettes. They probably allow guests to smoke anywhere so the smell is there even if they put you in the separate room.

We used to like Gong Cha and Chatime (never serenitea which just tastes so blah ) but now that we have tried A-Gantea its all a-gantea for us!!! Been there more than 12 times since we first tried it.
