Quick-Snack is worth the buck

  
Quiet, unassuming, modest. These may be the words to describe Quick-Snack, a popular but hidden dining place in Carvajal Street, Binondo, Manila. The street itself is filled with wet market finds like vegetables, fruits and sea food (minus the wet part, which deserves a thumbs up) you will not notice that Quick-Snack is actually inside.

 

We were brought to this hidden food haven by Jeff Siy, the man behind the popular website Boy Kuripot and his girlfriend, Melody Co also known as, Girl Kuripot along with some new found friends who tagged along with Journeying James on the first day of his 100 days of  backpacking in the Philippines. 


Quick-Snack serves Filipino-Chinese dishes and the prices are reasonable. The servings are good for two if you are not that hungry. I ordered their Lomi and was surprised that it was a really big bowl of piping hot noodles in thick broth. It was a LOMI to remember.


Also recommended according to Yahoo Philippines are their Misua Guisado (Stir-fried misua) and sate chami (stir-fried noodles with sate sauce). So if you want an out of the ordinary dining experience just head over to Carvajal Street in Binondo. You will not regret it, I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die in culinary heaven. Well maybe not literally die folks.

Munti Discovery: The Triumph of Science Over Death

Image
I have been living in Muntinlupa for the past 10 years (not counting the 5 years I spent back in grade school) and I am ashamed of the fact that I have not checked out the sights in this lovely city I call home. Had it not for my office mate Rai who mentioned that there is an interesting statue very near Festival Mall, I would have continued to be oblivious of its existence. The Triumph of Science over Death (Left) The statue I am talking about is a replica of The Triumph of Science Over Death , a clay sculpture made by Dr. Jose Rizal as a gift to his friend Ferdinand Blumentritt. According to my good friend Wikipedia, (aside from Google) the original sculpture is now displayed a the Rizal Shrine Museum at Fort Santiago in Intramuros, Manila. Another replica, made of concrete, stands in front of Fernando Calderón Hall of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine along Pedro Gil St. in Ermita, Manila. To satisfy my curiosity and redeem myself for my ignorance of thi

A Rockin' Great Time at the Liliputan Rocky Beach Park

Image
 (July 2011) No, Virginia, we did not go to Lilliput nor did we see Gulliver or the tiny people known as Lilliputians. We went to a not so popular beach park in San Julian, Eastern Samar --- The Liliputan Rocky Beach Park. It was the last day of my short vacation in my hometown of Borongan so my folks decided to have some  R & R and head on to the beach after the fiesta in our barangay. But instead of just going to Cabong (a favorite place by Boronganons) they decided that we go to the nearby town of San Julian. Photos from isanjulian.bravehost.com Liliputan literally mean where one turns around a point, from the root word "liput" meaning to turn around a point. This can also mean a short cut. The way to the Liliputan Rocy Beach Park Rocky Beach Park Fees As you can see in the photo, rates are pretty cheap: Entrance Fee: Php5.00 Cottage Fee: Small - Php75.00 Medium - Php150.00 Large - Php200.00 Open Space with table: Php25.00 Use of shower/com
