Mr. Fried Rice

To those who don't know about Mr. Fried Rice, just ask anybody who studied in De La Salle Zobel in the past decade. Rice meals in a box/bowl (Chicken, Beef, Lumpia). When I was in school, I remember buying every lunch time and never got tired of eating it. Currently, it's not located in the Zobel school cafeteria anymore but is still present in bazaars, school events, etc. (I'll post it here as soon as I find out where they will set up next) I'll give my thoughts on Mr. Fried Rice's offerings given that I've tried all of them (repeatedly, trust me).

Pros:

AFFORDABLE, GOOD SERVING, AND CONSISTENT
Today's current price for an order is P60 and is a good buy. You don't feel cheated because the serving would really fill the customer and there is a good balance of rice and viand. (Notice other rice bowls where you feel like you're just eating rice? Boo) One more good thing is that the taste has been consistent over the years. Customers who haven't eaten here for a long time will not be disappointed because nothing changed.

UNIQUE
Their food is uniquely good; you might think chicken and beef are pretty much offered by other rice meal stores and think that the look or taste are similar to each other. However, Mr. Fried Rice's servings have a distinct taste that I'm pretty sure you haven't experienced yet in other chicken/beef rice meals.

Cons:

AVAILABILITY
This is the only con I can think of. Because I am an avid fan, I consider it as a con because it doesn't have a permanent location. You have to wait and see when and where they will set up shop next.

OVERALL RATING: 10/10 *Boy Busog Favorite!

My personal favorite is their chicken rice meal. Must try!!!!!!!!!!

Tuna Town

Yesterday was the day that I got to try the food of Tuna Town (Alabang Town Center branch). I've been seeing their store for quite a while and I think it was about time that I got to stuff myself with healthier(tuna's healthier right?) food. Anyway, I ordered the Sinigang na panga ng tuna; here's my thoughts.

Pros:

SINIGANG'S JUST ABOUT RIGHT.
I found the taste just about right because it wasn't too bland or too sour. You can sip on their sinigang all day long and you wouldn't get sick of it. Well, I won't.

SERVING IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.
In terms of value for money, I think the Sinigang na panga ng tuna is perfect. Especially to all the rice lovers in the world. For P130, the sinigang soup is definitely enough to serve 2 people and the panga ng tuna is huuuuge. That's a big serving in my book.

Cons:

Rice and Freshness

The rice could be a bit more refined; there are still bits of unpeeled (is that what you call it?) grains. Because some of Tuna Town's food are already cooked and on display, the texture of the fish doesn't seem really fresh.

OVERALL RATING: 7.5/10

Good food and affordable. Try it out!
