LIMBAGA 77: COMFORT FOOD IN THE HOOD

Where I live in Quezon City can rightly be described as restaurant row—or more accurately, rows of restaurants—as dozens of them fill not just Tomas Morato Avenue but also its crisscrossing and parallel streets.

Here I live in Quezon City can rightly be described as restaurant row—or more accurately, rows of restaurants—as dozens of them fill not just Tomas Morato Avenue but also its crisscrossing and parallel streets. If I turn into a road I don't normally pass I will inevitably discover many inviting spots that span a world of cuisines to suit every taste and wallet.

They say if a new restaurant survives in Quezon City, it will survive anywhere else in the metro. That's because with such a wealth of options, we are truly spoilt for choice. Expensive cafe? It better justify the prices because there are so many reasonably priced places around here. Any new spot that comes with good reviews will draw out a hungry horde. If the place is deserving, the queue remains weeks and months after it opens. If not, the curious crowd quickly evaporates.
