Good food on a typical workday? These 3 restos solve the problem

MANILA, Philippines – If you are working an eight-hour job, you would know the struggle of finding good food near your office. Despite the abundance of fast food chains, coffee shops and new-concept restaurants, places that offer good-quality food at affordable prices are still hard to find.

For when you just can’t go to work without having a great breakfast

But did you know that it also serves good dishes for breakfast and brunch, and can actually be your breakfast place? Here’s the proof:
