I remember my first day in China, I found 15c steamed vegetable and pork buns the size of my fist and was like "should I buy 10 of these? Maybe 20?" but luckily a veteran expat was nearby and assured me that they make them fresh all day, every day.
I still bought five, they were so large they lasted two days with rice.
It's funny this greentext uses Jollibees as the example here, definitely makes sense for a first-time traveler.
Jollibees is cheap compared to McDonalds, but they still serve crappy processed burgers for 3 times the price of local hamburger stalls in the philippines that use fresh meat patties.
It's all a learning game, and the shortcut is street food, mom-and-pops, no chains.
Wow that sounds crazy, id give it a try. I'm actually going to the Philippines in a few months so I'll check in with them and see what's on the menu.
My wife thinks that it was for Easter, so you might get lucky.
Thanks, I'll definitely keep an eye out!
Stuck in my brain now.
