Bukno and Bebot's World

Cheap and Cheerful Bukno and I chance upon this small eatery along Al Falah Street. The name “Goto King” was familiar as we thought it’s the same Goto King in Dubai. Afterwards, we realized that the name of the eatery is “Nice Goto King Cafeteria” and is not the same management as Goto King in Dubai. Parking space was quite difficult as there were roads closed due to constructions. Once we arrived in the eatery, we were greeted by a staff. Later on, we came to know that he is one of the owners. His name is Mr. Usman and his co-owner is Mr. Mohammed. Both of them from Bangladesh. While waiting for our orders, Mr. Usman told us that the Mr. Mohammed was previously employed by Goto King Restaurant in Khalidiya Mall but it closed down. He decided to open the small eatery as he knows from experience that Filipinos love to eat. The chefs were all Filipinos and the dishes were prepared and cooked in an open kitchen. All in all, it was a cheerful experience as the ser...

Good Value for Money  My husband, Bukno, highly recommended Al Ritaj Restaurant for affordable but tasty chicken biryani and chicken 65.  The Electra St. Branch is a bit difficult to find but I think the easiest landmark is behind Etisalat Bldg. on Airport Road beside Alam Supermarket. The restaurant is like a hole-in-the-wall. Once you park in front, a staff will approach you immediately ask for your order. We decided to dine inside the restaurant. I would commend the staffs as they are very attentive and ready to assist. Restaurant Chicken 65 Chicken Biryani "Peanut Sauce" as Bukno called it. It's tasty but really spicy. Food = 4   😋 Price = 4  😋 Service = 4  😋 Location = 3  😋 Ambience = 3  😋

Budget-Friendly Comfort Food Bukno and I loved that Pinoy Lomi Restaurant and Bakehouse offers affordable and tasty comfort foods like "lomi" and "lugaw". The Tourist Club branch is not that spacious but it will give you a feel of typical carinderia (diner) in Philippines. Unlimited Lugaw = 10 Dhs + 5% Vat Lomi = 10 Dhs + 5% Vat Food = 4   😋 Price = 4  😋 Service = 3  😋 Location = 3  😋 Ambience = 3  😋

Enjoyed Max's salu-salo meal today with Bukno.  AED 89 (inclusive of tax) is worth your money as it includes 2 pieces  Max’s fried chicken, 1 sweet & spicy crab, 2 skewers of BBQ chicken, sinigang na salmon, fried eggplants, steamed okras, green mango, fresh watermelon and rock melon, unlimited rice & bottomless drinks.  Perfect meal for two! To top it off, the staffs Arnel and Angela were very accommodating and made sure we get what we need. (Photo grabbed from Max's Restaurant website)

Little Manila is a one-stop restaurant of our favorite food stalls in Philippines I'm loving this bucket lamps...so original. Foods are okay but not very remarkable. Lechong Baka Chicken Inasal

There’s a scarcity of good Filipino restaurants in Mussafah so when a churchmate mentioned Pinoy Avenue , we planned to try it out after attending mass. It’s easy to find especially with the help of google map. The ambience is good. Well lit and Filipino decors will make you feel you’re at home.  We love it that they’re playing on T.V. local artists from Philippines in  Wish   107.5  FM . The staff advised me that their bestseller for “SILOG (SINANGAG & ITLOG)” variant is TAPSILOG. My husband tried their version of PANSIT PALABOK.   Waiting time for the main course is up to 15 minutes. It’s good to know that the meal was cooked and prepared from the time you placed your order. While waiting, you can have unlimited free soup. Their TAPSILOG is not bad. I love their sinangag as there were crunchy bits and they added a serving of atsara. Their tapa is okay. It’s moist but some parts of the meat are not very tender....
