It’s for the foodies who love a good narrative behind their dish. It’s not for those who aren’t fans of Spanish cuisine. Our insider tip: plan a trip here at the end of a day spent around Intramuros.

Bad Bird specializes in deep fried chicken flavored with umami spices served with sides like waffles, dirty rice, corn cobs and hush puppies. It’s for everyone who loves a good fried chicken with a twist and spicy kick. It’s not for people who shy away from deep fried food. We recommend the Waffle Plate plus dirty rice, corn cobs and hush puppies on the side. Everyone loves their corn. Our insider tip is their gravy isn’t free.

First in the Philippines offering their signature pan fried soup dumpling (Sheng Jian Bao) from Shanghai, China. They are a casual Chinese restaurant focused on wheat flour inspired recipes found throughout China. It’s for people who love Chinese food. It’s not for those who don’t eat wheat. We recommend their Pan Fried Pork Soup Dumplings, Shao Bing Sandwich, and of course their  Chinese Fried Chicken.
