Dayrit's

I have very happy childhood memories of Dayrit's. My Dad used to bring there there as a child and I would always ooh and aah about how huge their burgers are. I must say they have the biggest burgers in town (that I know of) and I was really, really sad when they had to close their Magallanes branch for a long time because the whole place was bulldozed for new developments. The Buendia branch was just really too far and well, I love the Magallanes branch coz that's where I've been going since I was a kid

It was only last night that I finally managed to finish off one whole cheeseburger. I know I should've measured the diameter of the burger, but I was just really hungry and after taking a photo I just dove in.

What makes Dayrit's burger special is its, well, special sauce. I don't really know what goes in it, but it's been the same burger since I was four years old. It's meaty, juicy and has the right mix of spices and mayonnaise (I looooove mayonnaise!!!). Dayrit's doesn't only have burgers, they have an extensive menu (that I haven't tried because I'm loyal to their burgers) and my Dad, friends and colleagues said that everything is yummy and malasa.


Here's a photo of the roast beef Sweetie had last night:


Dayrit's has been around for decades (I dunno how many) and you just really got to go there and eat! They have a branch in Magallanes and Buendia (QC? not sure).

Chipotle and Second Street

My sister says that my niece kept on gushing about Chipotle. My niece loves eating spicy food (must be the Bicolana in her) and kept saying that Chipotle is a good place to eat at, so when my sister and I went to go see the Bodies exhibit we decided to grab a bite first (in case we lost our appetite during the exhibit). We headed off to Chipotle and I must say it was quite yummy and filling.



I had a soft taco with chicken. I couldn’t walk after eating coz they served 3 tacos!

My sister had a taco salad. She said it was a bit spicy, but definitely filling.

Last Sunday, we drove down to Williamsburg to visit my niece, Celina, who’s a sophomore at Willaim & Mary’s. She’s taking up Biology and said she wants to do cancer research (she is really brainy and is a scholar). I had lunch with the whole family at Second Street and had a chicken salad sandwich. I think I must’ve gained 5 pounds after the meal. LOL.
