[QUOTE=Blu8096;1454111]2 grilled pork sticks, grilled chicken (thigh and leg) rice and a beer. $2. USD. I love it![/QUOTE]For whatever reason, when I travel, I find myself cycling thru periods of cheap food, followed by better food. So for a few days I hit the BBQ stands. Like Blu. 3 grilled pork or chicken sticks, rice, and a drink (soda / juice). Given the (free) hotel buffet breakfast, I do this about 3 or 4 times a day, for about $10 for a day's food. Several days of this, like this is the way humanity should eat all the time, and suddenly I have a desire for sit-down restaurants and / or fast food for the next several days. Then back to BBQ stands. No idea why my system is like this; it has nothing to do with money.

In Butuan recently I had two playmates (nay, skanks, I've had them several times) bus in from a further-in-the-twigs province. Normally we jeep into town from the hotel to find eats. One of the the counter staff suggested we walk up the highway a few blocks to a BBQ place across from the hospital, so we did. Wow, what a large selection of already-prepped foods + fresh bbq. A full meal for each of us (I had bbq, they had prepped foods, one of which was shrimps) , plus 3 rice, plus they ordered a separate large pot of vegetables (almost looked like a thick soup or stew; sarap!) for us to split (which we could not kill) , & we had one drink each. Then it started to rain harder than previously and we decided to sit and wait it out so we all got another drink. Total cost was under p300 (no tip, cafeteria style). I love pinas!

[QUOTE=Pip Jaeger;1454121]That's not in his budget, LOL. All kidding aside, I'm looking forward to see how he makes out. It'll be interesting to learn how he survives on such a tight budget; perhaps we pick up some tips on being frugal. I've got nothing against saving a few pesos; gives me more to spend on pinay pie, LOL.[/QUOTE]1,200p Pensionne.

Cheap street food and mall food.

Cheap local beers.

Won't be too hard, especially if I take it easy every other night and just invite a girl over in place of going out to the big clubs.

Daily budget for food / fun is 40. So lets say I only spend 20 on down days, then I have 60 for date / club nights. Plenty for me.

[QUOTE=WestCoast1;1454208]I bussed from Calamba (very near Laguna) to Manila (Cubao I think) for 80-ish pesos ($2) on the aircon bus 2 years ago (took taxi to my hotel from there). Taxi one-way Manila-Laguna will run you 1500-2000 (first bid from the driver might be higher).[/QUOTE]Thanks WC1 since I don't have much time I will take a taxi and thanks for all the valuable info you provide us I have learned a lot reading from your posts I am a junior monger trying to become senior one Tc best of luck.

I found malls in Manila and Angeles City offer the most diverse, authentic and best-tasting Philippines food in the cleanest environment at unbelievably low prices.

I took a new girl from Manila bay Cafe for a couple days. She took me to all local eating spots in Robinson and New Asia malls. The malls' food was good, recommended. The Seafood market near the New Asia Mall, sells live seafood, and there are a dozen restaurants that cook the seafood for you, but prices are very high, not recommended.

The girl is a daughter of a fisherman on some remote island. She gave me the name but I did not recognize. She went to Manila for college and ran out of money. She speaks excellent English, was a very good tour guide and sex partner in bed. I was having sex bareback with her after the first day, the very few times I did with pro girls.

I just clicked with her because she was a honest, nice, sweet, sexy, good-looking young girls with good manners.

Is New Asia Mall the Mall of Asia? If so, was it re-named?

I would like say hunting on Facebook has unique hunting qualities. You just need to make sure you don't post pictures together and then try to fuck one of her friends. Minor setback in one case, DIA and pay sites our ok to use but Facebook gives more information and you can see more pictures in several outfits and different events which is a plus. Keep in mind this for regular girls no the harded pro's! I prefer the regular girl who has an average job, they are so fuckable, which mean is they have to leave the next day for work and I do not need to provide exit plan for myself!

Just providing my hunting tactic!

It's the Mall of Asia

[QUOTE=LukeSkywalker;1454574]The Seafood market near the New Asia Mall, sells live seafood, and there are a dozen restaurants that cook the seafood for you, but prices are very high, not recommended.[/QUOTE]I respectfully disagree. The fresh seafood restaurants near the Mall of Asia are very good quality, prepared how you like, and in a clean environment. Yes, the price is high but in my opinion so is the value for what you get. I recommend them.

Instead of drinking in the club just exit, go the convenience store, have a drink, and head back.

Meals in a canteen are typically less than p100 and at a Filipino fast food place like Chic Boy you can get a meal with unlimited rice for less than p150.

I don't recall how many days you're planning to stay but if it's a month or more you'll save a lot by renting a condo rather than staying at a pension at p36000 per month, and you'll save even more if you cook at home. Check out craigslist or sulit. Even those who are looking for a 1-year tenant may be inclined to rent for shorter periods.

How did you get these hot pics with such awesome backgrounds? I thought you were staying in super cheap places in manila? Do you have real pics of the girls naked in your room, not standard looking pics. See my post in the photo gallery to help you out.

I love the crappy places with grilled chicken and pork. You get awesome grilled meat with rice. But that's the issue, no vegetables.

I haven't crapped in three days! . LOL.

Republic is awesome. A really hot place in resort worlds, super nice. Like being in any international city hot nightclub.

WAY to expensive. 250 for a jack and coke. They really need to reminded to put the jack in the coke!

Girls are hot! I picked up two hotties at the bar, partied and drank. I thought it was great till they decide to tell me they wanted to get paid 5, 000 each!

CRAZY ass girls. Because they put on a nice dress they think they should get so much money! I of course passed.

Anyways it is a awesome, clean, modern, hot place. Like all of the same types of places in different country's it is sooo pricey.
