Lafang List

Found this in one of the forums I frequent and I just had the urge to post it here.

The gist: “Ugly American” tourists visit Jollibee and make fun of and play with the food.

Silly tourists.

The holiday stress was starting to take its toll when I made my detour to Segundo Piso at Terry Selection in the basement of The Podium for a special lunch. I was tired but eager to reward myself for finishing the Christmas shopping early. Not too keen on having a heavy meal, I was pretty set on ordering a sandwich for take out when I came in. But which sandwich? I decided to take a chance by letting my finger choose for me. I opened the menu and flipped to the sandwiches. I let my finger go up and down the smooth clear plastic menu until it settled on a section of the page. That was how I came to order my Chori Quezo sandwich.

The large sandwich, which I ordered on ciabatta bread, I had sliced into two hoping to save half of it for merienda. It had a generous helping of chorizo slivers covered in a blanket of lettuce, tomato and melted edam cheese. It was so easy to eat since it held together well when I bit into it while typing last minute copy deadlines.

In a fit of Christmas spirit, the other half I wanted to keep was shared with a harassed co-worker who still hadn’t had his lunch. And just like me, he enjoyed it as well.

What is it with foot-long hotdogs and Antipolo? At the Ynares Center tiangge, I found many stalls offering them on sticks and as a sandwich. The best one was the stall that topped its sandwich with a generous amount of shredded cabbage with the bun lightly toasted too. It hits the spot and was very affordable as well.
