Today

I just love unplanned trips. Earlier, I happened to be in Manila by "accident" and while within the area, I've decided to drop by two places which I read about a couple of days ago.

Ambos Mundos

I'm not sure if the owners named it after the famous hotel in Cuba, but according to sources the restaurant has been around since 1888 and as the name suggests, the restaurant's claim to fame is its "authentic Spanish cooking".

Just to give an impression of the place: just eclectic.




One willl find an assortment of birds in these cages. It is reported that the owners are pet lovers.



Outside looking in.



Guess who's in for an afternoon nap? A staple attraction of the restaurant.



Wah Sun Cantonese Restaurant

Just across Ambos Mundos is this restaurant. Not sure if it belongs to same owner as Ambos, but as the exterior would suggests, it must be.

Below this what seemed to be an ordinary looking house is the restaurant.



Ramon Lee

A few walks from Ambos and Wah Sun is Ramon Lee (perhaps named after its owner?)



The restaurant's been in the same location since it opened in 1929.



A view from outside. Sources tells that they serve one of the best chicken and pancit (stir-fried noodles with a variety of toppings) in town.



Until then.:)
