11. Friuli Trattoria
Dish: Puttanesca
Price: P120
Address: 79-A Maginhawa St., UP Village, Quezon City. Tel. No. 434-1416


Don't let the small place deceive you, Friuli's simple, home-cooked Italian fare has made it a neighborhood staple for those looking for a quick meal on the fly. The puttanesca, a plateful of angel hair pasta with tomatoes, capers, anchovies and olives, is a reliable meal choice for those who fancy simple Italian cuisine.



buffalo_wings


12. Buffalo Wings N' Things
Dish: Half-pound Wings
Price: P129
Address: Food Street, Ortigas Home Depot, Pasig ( 994-8887); Aguirre Ave., BF Homes, Paranaque (703-4867) ; G-Strip, Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan (788-6900)

Besides Buffalo's spicy signature sauces ranging from The Rookie to Nuclear, another must-try is the non-spicy Garlic Parmesan sauce. Two to three pieces of chicken wings cut in half swim in a generous serving of sinful buttery, garlicky and cheesy sauce. Best eaten when piping hot.




magnet_cafe


13. Mag:net Café Katipunan
Dish: Fish and Chips
Price: P135
Address: 35 Agcor Building, Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. Tel. No. 929-3191

Perfect for a light meal, Mag:net Café's Fish and Chips has tender fish strips served with potato chips and wasabi dip. Served only at the Katipunan, Quezon City branch, this appetizer at P135 can easily be a light, meat-free meal.

Price: P140
Address: Central Precint, Westgate Alabang, Muntinlupa City (771-1400) and UP Ayalaland TechnoHub, Commonwealth Ave., Quezon City (332-5978).

Like most dishes at Kanin Club, a plateful of Adobo Combo is made for sharing. With chicken and pork adobo, stewed in vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, peppercorn and chili, this version of adobo has a thick sauce and combines the right amount of sourness and flavor with tender pork and chicken cuts.



world_topps15. World Topps
Dish: Crispy Sisig Topps
Price: P130

Sisig lovers will like World Topps' filling rice bowls, all of which are under P150. The Crispy Sisig, has crispy and tasty pork topped over a generous serving of steamed rice, drizzled with creamy mayonnaise.

    it's amusing how people point out the the articles here in spot about cheap eats are not really cheap. kasi totoo naman.rnrnsiguro ito ang definition ng cheap ng mga writers or intended audience ng spot. but there are so many other places where you can find enjoyable meals na mas mura pa.rnrnexplore explore explore!

    You should go to club 650 in libis. The burger stand "regrub" sells mouth watering burgers starting at P55 only. They sell a triple patty burger for only P120 or P130. Man, those burgers are the best.

    There's a new place in Kapitolyo that sells great meals for only 65 pesos. It's called Hungry Boss. Tried it and their food is surprisingly good. Better than all mentioned in the list!

    tried top meals, world topps & almon marina. yeah, pretty low prices. how about RJ's bulalohan in mandaluyong?
  • ivnianon Apr 13 2010 @ 12:52pm Report Abuse
    (1) i agree with mel. mr. kabab!

    (2) everything at steak and snackaroo also serve inexpensive food that (in my humble opinion) tastes better than slice and dice. :(
  • teena Apr 12 2010 @ 10:39am Report Abuse
    yeah,,why not create a list below 100...

    being a fan of Tokyo 2x, mcdonalds, KFC and pizza hut (99 peso meals) ,,, finding meals below 150 is not something new for me...

    Nakakagutom....sarap....maraming choices...mura pa....try ko yan next time....try nyo rin....
  • igeramos Apr 10 2010 @ 03:36pm Report Abuse
    Why not meals for 49 pesos. That would be a real challenge. Fast food joints not included.
  • balingkinitan Apr 10 2010 @ 12:16am Report Abuse
    kyohal pa din ang mga prices ha...Carla is correct, if you could create a list below P100, way much better...
  • igeramos Apr 09 2010 @ 02:21pm Report Abuse
    @vomit. Villar, ikaw ba yan?
  • igeramos Apr 09 2010 @ 12:37am Report Abuse
    The list is so Patok!
  • Daquiri Apr 08 2010 @ 04:29pm Report Abuse
    well, if you want food plus drink and free soup below P100, then visit any Jollijeeps or Aristobak food kiosks scattered around Makati...HEP! HEP! HOORAYYY? NO...HEP! HEP! HEPATITIS!
  • Carla Apr 08 2010 @ 01:39pm Report Abuse
    If you can create a list below P100, even better! :D
  • Marc Apr 08 2010 @ 01:02pm Report Abuse
    What?! No Jollibee? Boo! haha
  • marianne Apr 08 2010 @ 12:33pm Report Abuse
    Well, the article's a little iffy, because with a drink and service charge, I think most of your choices come closer to P200.

    Also, you made some food chain choices which perhaps I would not have made (but then again taste is individual, as is critique of what one eats).

    I would add Earle's Delicatessen sausage sandwiches (several kinds, almost all under P100) and the sandwich/pasta dishes at BlackSoup (154 Maginhawa).
  • fely Apr 08 2010 @ 11:14am Report Abuse
    makes me want to take my lunch break early and try them all
  • vomit Apr 08 2010 @ 10:29am Report Abuse
    Maybe I'm just poor and finding meals under P150 isn't a novelty for me (it's usually a necessity), but this list isn't very impressive.
  • rieya Apr 08 2010 @ 09:43am Report Abuse
    weee! love the list!!
  • Mel Apr 08 2010 @ 07:10am Report Abuse
