Top 10 Most Affordable Restaurants Around The Metro

QTV's "Ang Pinaka" is a gift from heaven! I was roaming around the Web, searching for restaurants where our family can dine without costing too much. Then last night, I was surprised that the show has been able to list down the most affordable restos mainly around Metro Manila. Well, dishes must be not more than 200 bucks and ultimately satisfying to be considered as totally sulit. I jot down all the information and have those here.

10. Persia Grill

My taste buds are into the Asian cuisine. I have tasted some of Mediterranean dishes like that in Souk Café, but I haven't tried the same kind of cuisine infused with Pinoy style. The ambiance is compelling as I've seen it on TV - classy, looks like a fine dining resto.

9. Charlie's Grind and Grill

Now this is pretty extraordinary. Burger patties and fries are handmade. The chain is located beside a car wash. Too American. My dad will surely love this.

8. Buffalo's Wings n' Things

Okay, chickens anyone? I think I would like their spicy chicken. If I would be really craving for wings, this is the place.

7. Ya Kun Kaya Toast

One of my favorites in the countdown. If only they fail to include the Toast, people will obviously thought this is an ordinary Chinese shabu-shabu, or noodle house. It's actually a Singaporean breakfast chain. Yeah, toast. Special toasts. I like the sprinkled Milo thing on top with condensed milk. Be sure to pay a visit after your overnight trip.

6. Burger Avenue

Home of the Ridiculous Burger, and the Ridiculous Challenge. For less than five minutes, consume the 3-patty burger and you'll get it for free. Pretty impressive gimmick. I think my dad should do the honors. He's the best burger eater.

5. Yen Yen Taiwan Street Foods

You'll not be literally eating along the streets so set aside your worries. Let's put it in this way - it's a small food chain selling Taiwanese street foods. The good thing is they use authentic Taiwanese condiments to catch the genuine taste of Taiwanese street foods. Interesting.

4. Good Burgers

I'll give a standing ovation for this! At last, a perfect burger for vegetarians and/or health conscious. Well I'm neither of the two, but I love their dishes. From the whole wheat buns to the veggie patties, everything is good for the health under your 200-Peso budget. That's a big WOW.

3. Masuki Mami House

I've been in so many Chinese restaurants already so this makes me feel predictable. But hey, I want to try their pingpong ball-sized siomai and asado siopao since these are great Chinese comfort foods. My grandparents will enjoy their dine here.

2. Mexican Express

Burritos, nachos, chimichanga - three Mexican foods I'm rooting for. And I think the best of those will only be found here. I was not jumping up and down, but I'm still looking forward to this.

1. Adobo 'To!

Thank God above for the Pinoy adobo! I'm a huge fan. I mean, adobo has been my closest friend since birth. And I already know where I could taste different variations of it. Adobo with cheese, adobo with coconut milk, spicy adobo - name it, they all have it. Minus the garage-looking dining area, I think even for 75 bucks, I'll be satisfied. And this IS what you call sulit.
