Hand eatery
The literal translation of Kamay-Kainan, a restaurant that specializes in Filipino food. It means "a place to eat with your hands," though I didn't see anyone actually do so. The food's nothing to rave about (I can recommend much better Filipino restaurants if any of you decide to visit the Philippines and come to Manila), but if you're feeding two tired and hungry men—the guys who helped me haul a van's worth of old equipment to the Ayala waste market—an hour after their usual lunch time, no other place in Trinoma mall can beat its value: PhP244 (about US$6) for the eat-all-you-can buffet. This photo shows less than half of the food choices at the buffet, and there was a separate table for the desserts.

Oh, I miss those!
I hope you can visit my daily photo, too.
how bout a pic of those guys wolfing it down? Ah, I guess they are not as pretty as the food.
Now I am hungry!!!!Great shots!
Una comida deliciosa. Gracias por tus comentarios.
Makes me feel like something nice to eat! It looks like a good choice of food for such a small amount of money.
Sometimes "plain" old cafeteria-style eating is just the thing, especially if you don't want to dress up. Interesting to see what counts as ordinary food.
This looks way more interesting than the buffets in my town!
Gee... May I ask how much does the upscale buffets cost? Around here the cheaper ones costs around 150 pesos.
Lay, the buffets in the Saisaki group of restaurants cost about PhP450. In smaller hotels, they're about 800-1000, and the really upscale hotel restaurant buffets cost 2000 and higher!
A buffet that looks like a church potluck, too. Buffets around here are not in individual pots and pans, but in big buffet trollies and cases.
I used to like food in here, but the one in West Av., their bottled bagoong is also good. I guess they still have the lowest price for an eat all you cant, great food shot, nakakatakam!
mmh yeah, looks like something I would love too!
