[...] may not be as memorable as the last. And I wonder at Mien Sanâ€™s prices â€“ so low that even my â€œCheapskates of the Universeâ€ (COTUs) friends leave happy and burping. Iâ€™ve treated a party of 11 here for only P1,600. Beat [...]

For me it’s the Fresh Lumpia of POLLAND in Mayon Street Quezon City, you will seldom see it because it literally runs out in the afternoon because of its awesome taste! Chinese and Filipino patrons adore it… I only take out the cilantro because I hate that part =)

I love the Goldilock’s brownies. But my fave cheapskate snack is warm, soft monay from UP Diliman (it’s in boxes on bikes driven by the manongs with horns to catch the students’ attention). It used to be only 5 pesos for a large piece (about 6-7 inches diameter circle) and can be ordered with a slice of Kraft cheese (+ 2 pesos).

My dad is a Goldilocks Polvoron addict. Never a day in the house without polvoron. I’m now married and live at another house. When I go home to visit, his pabaon will be a bag (or box) of Goldilocks polvoron.

My own cheap eat would be cloud9.mmm…
