101 Hawker Food House

Hawker food house is a hole in the wall restaurant along Urban Avenue. It's a quaint little restaurant that serve cheap food. The place was designed to somewhat imitate Hawker Food Centers only without the open air.

Hawker Food House


101 Hawker Food House sells authentic Singaporean dishes for a really cheap price! You can order their food to share or in set meals that are really affordable. You can probably have a set meal for less than 200php. The service and turnover of customers are pretty quick. They have a really good amount of customers coming in even on weekdays.


Here's a sneak peek of the interior

Onto the food!


First up is their Roti Prata. If I remember correctly this would be Indian Flatbread served with curry. It may look like a simple dish to you but it's packed with so much flavor you'd want to eat the whole thing yourself.

You can also dip it in condensed milk. YUM!

One of the items on the menu that I found really intriguing was their MILO DINOSAUR (55 php)
It's just a regular milo drink served with a heaping tablespoon of milo powder on top :)

Next, Kopi Tarik (45 php) which you can get iced or hot. if you look at the next two photos you'd be able to see what it looks like and how they make it.

Coffee Spareribs
Kopi Spareribs - A different take on Spareribs. Who knew that coffee would go so well with pork?

Char Kway Kaow, Stirfry Hofan with sweet sauce, prawns and more.

Mokki Lato: Real Artisan Gelato

Ice Cream and Froyo are some of the best ways to keep cool and to satisfy your sweet tooth. Gelato is another cool way to get your sugar cravings. One place we've recently stumbled upon is Mokki Lato. They serve a variety of Gelato flavors at a very friendly price. Up for review, Mokki Lato. 




Like most Gelato places, they have lots of the flavors.




But theirs is really affordable at 50 pesos!



Branches: SM Hypermarket Pasig,SM Hypermarket Mall of Asia, SM Hypermarket Fairview and SM Hypermarket North EDSA.



THE VERDICT

He Says: We've been looking for this place for quite some time. Last we've seen it was MAFBEX 2010. I've been wanting to go back and buy some of their Pistachio Gelato. It's really good and it's cheap. A scoop is 50PHP and it's the good kind of Gelato too. Gotta go back for more.

Rating: 10/10

She Says: We first encountered this during MAFBEX 2010 and we just can't help but compare this to other gelato places. This is my absolute favorite! you guys should stop by one of the branches and give it a try :)
