Mange! Readers,
Living mostly on my own as I complete my Manila Internship, having a food budget is something new that I'm dealing with ( usually I go to my cousin's house during the weekends ). For 100 pesos a day ( approximately $2 per dia ), I can have a quality meal, which includes kanin ( rice ), 2 ulam ( side dishes either meat or vegetable ), and a merienda ( snack item or fruit shake ). Once in a while I go out of the budget ( Starbucks trip et. al. ), so in order to balance the budget I resort to fast food ( mas mura = not as expensive ).
Even if it's fast food, I still try to choose the "healthier" alternative that's more fulfilling and rich in protein: a chicken sandwich. In Katipunan Avenue, there are plenty of eateries, and the fast food joints I've frequented are: KFC, Jollibee, and McDonald's ( all open daily for 24 hours ).
KFC's Chicken sandwich is only 29 pesos, but it tasted like an Amarack-microwavable chicken patty. Jollibee and McDonald's Chicken sandwiches are 39 pesos each. The breading both use is crispier, and the white chicken fillet they use is tastier. The apparent difference between the two is portion. Jollibee's Chicken sandwich is bigger, and thus the best choice out of the 3 ( taste-wise and portion-wise ).
