"Arguably the best xiao long bao in Manila. Definitely the best spicy chicken wings. You can't go wrong with the Taiwan Beef Noodles (C-13) or the Oiled Noodles (C-4), too."

"For the price, the Mixed Tempura is a steal: 480 bucks gets you 4 pcs. Ebi, Squid, Salmon, Asohos and 5 kinds of vegetable tempura."

"There's a reason they're called "Knockout Knuckles" - they're probably the best in town. Make sure to try the Ipusit Mo Baby and the Chicharon Bisaya while you're at it."

"When Cebu Pacific says to check in 45 mins. before departure... they're lying. They close the counters an hour before departure time."

"The Pen Manila's "The Bar" revamped. Order the best Old-Fashioned in town. Smokers rejoice: you aren't a second-class citizen here."

"If you're lucky enough to make friends with the NCOs and OIC, you might even get the opportunity to fire the latest PNP/SWAT/SAF hardware. No kidding."
