Hello,

i must disagree with you, maybe you like Manila just because you didn’t see the rest of Philippines. I spend there 2 times a week in my 4 times 3-week trips to Philippines and i don’t want to go there anymore. It is true most people are friendly but the rest is just a dirty overcrowded , overtrafficed big city. I prefer the countryside much more like Surigao, Bohol, the island of Cebu, Palawan, the northern part of Luzon. Great foods, amazing scenery and nature, super friendly people. I recommend you to go to those parts of Philippines next time you visit.

You should come by in the Philippines when there are fiestas. I don’t know if it is still being practiced but before in other regions when there are fiestas some people will just let their doors open and you can come and eat even though you’re a stranger. My mom told me that before in Lucban, Quezon when Pahiyas festival, where houses are decorated with kiping in celebration of the harvest and a contest for the best house is being held, is being celebrated you can do that but nowadays I’m not sure.

This is so helpful! We had thought about if we should spend time in Manila or not when we go to the Philippines, but your photos have me convinced to try it out! I’m a huge fan of street food, so there are some things I’ve got to try!!

Thank you for your wonderful review of Manila’s food scene and your kind words about Filipino hospitality, My family & I moved here in Singapore last 2012 and we miss home, food included. My daughter and I stumbled upon your website a few weeks upon arrival and would often go to your site for recommendations. It has been a great journey exploring places you have reviewed. My daughter has been documenting our trips by taking photographs of the food and the places we go to. Much like a Mother-Daughter diary that we can look back on years from now.

There are a lot more places to explore in the Philippines. Each region offers something unique that you & your lovely wife will surely enjoy????.

Come back to the Philippines! The restaurant scene is changing here extremely fast and we’ll be happy to have you here in our sunny country.

December or January is quite a good time to come here since it’s not hot, and the weather can go to 19 degrees celcius

If you enjoyed staying in Manila, wait til you see even just one of the 7,107 islands that Philippines has to boast… Just choose one Brad,, and you will see the difference.

I couldn’t help but smile at your comments on halo-halo. The first time I tried chendol in Singapore, the first thought through my head was, “This is just like halo-halo!”

The dampa experience is a must-do when in Manila. Funny thing is, when I buy crabs, I always have them prepare it chili-crab style!

Oh, and put Cebu on your itinerary next time you’re in the Philippines. The lechon there is the best!
