[mooncake and leaves]

A friend is staying in Manila for 2 weeks this February and she wants to do major food-tripping so I need help harhar. If you can list five of the best places to eat in the metro, what would they be? No specific cuisine or price range. Thanks. Much appreciated.

People's palace (Greenbelt 3) - thai cuisine
Shi Lin (Podium) taiwanese cuisine
Sentro (GB3) - filipino cuisine
Sugi  - Japanese
Cookbook kitchen (eastwood) - value for your money/ comfort food

Kanin Club for Filipino food with a twist
Cyma for Mediterranean food suited for Pinoy taste
Benjarong for the best Thai food
Circles or 7 Corners for buffet
Chef Jessie Rockwell Club for really good food

Benjarong for the best Thai food

I love benjarong too. Ironically, though, thai people I know hated benjarong. they said it's the worst thai resto cause it's not really authentic (medyo sweet, well i guess they know their stuff but we love it that way )

But Benjarong has an in-house Thai chef.

-zencios :tomas morato (japanese eat all you can, they will cook your food sa harap ninyo)
-piccolos :italian resto inside bf homes paranaque (ewan ko lang kung meron pa nyan pero pinaka masarap na pizza for me, and even yung italian uncle ko approve sa taste at texture ng food nila)
-wah sun: chinese resto located avenida near vista hotel (mula pa dati kumakain na kami jan, lalo na pag bonus ng dad ko dati)
-Circle : eat all you can buffet sa ibaba ng shangrila edsa
-chops and lambs : resto inside bf homes paranaque beside conti's (not sure kung andun din pa)-for the win yung signature lamb steaks nila at home made original ice tea...
