Tour around the country and you’ll discover places that will put a smile on your face. Take these food establishments, for example:

Chew Love

Where: Tacloban City, Leyte

This whimsical restaurant in Tacloban is as an eye-candy along the city’s downtown area with its pastel-colored exteriors. But more than being a visual treat, their delicious and pun-ny dishes are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Their menu includes wittily-named foods such as “Love at Pork Sight” (pork liempo with eggplant salad), “Fish Be With You” (fish and rice meal), “I’m Nacho Girl” (nacho chips), etc. Their rice meals come with heart-shaped rice. How cute is that?

Pedro n Coi

Where: Different branches around Metro Manila

Pedro n Coi’s very Pinoy concept is a total stand out: their interiors are inspired by Pinoy elements such as sari-sari store, jeepney, and other nostalgic memorabilia that give it a very local vibe. Owned by former Miss Universe Philippines Shamcey Supsup and her husband Lloyd Lee, the place is a passion project built through their childhood nostalgia and love for Filipino food. Their menu too, is creatively Pinoy. Pedro n Coi serve food such as “Talong Ranger” “Inasal Raymundo” “Joey de Lechon” Their Sizzling Sisig aww is a must-try!

Binalot

Where: Different malls in the Philippines

Binalot is that restaurant you look for when you’re craving for classic Pinoy food—with funny twists on their names. “Sisig na Makisig,” “Bistek walastik”, “Tapa rap sarap,”… their food names are word plays we can’t get enough of. Did we mention they serve unlimited rice?

Star Baks

Where: Quezon City and Bulacan

You’ve probably heard of a dish named “Coco Sisig Kineme,” a unique sisig with coconut cream and hotdog bits. This is where it originated. Star Baks started as a humble restaurant in Quezon City that quickly became a success, eventually opening its second branch in Bulacan. Their menu is somewhat an attraction here, with dishes such as “Lomi Poe,” “Biyaheng Bicol Express,” “Calamares in Peace.” And they’re as good as they sound!
