best milkshakes in Manila near Great Shakes Corporation?
only stopped by once on a trip, the buko pandan shake was what everyone ahead of me ordered & it's good but very sweet. lunchtime queue moves slow since it's mostly takeout, so go around 2pm if u can
Ube flavor, and yes it's sweet too.
yeah the avocado one is less sweet if that helps
The avocado is milder, but if you want something different ask for the melon shake, that's what the older regulars get. Skip the lunch crowd entirely on weekends, it's worse than weekdays.
good call on the timing, though i'd push it to 3pm if ur there on a saturday since the after-church crowd hits around 2. ask for the shake with less syrup if the sweetness worries u, they'll adjust it
saturdays they also run out of the melon by mid afternoon so earlier is safer if thats ur pick
buko pandan really is the default order there, but ask for half syrup or it drinks like dessert
also ask for it in a cup not a plastic bag if ur taking it to go, stays cold way longer in this heat
2pm sounds about right, i went closer to 1 and waited ages. heads up they close earlier on sundays so dont push it too late
half syrup is the real trick there, otherwise it drinks like a dessert lol
Is Zeny's Fastfood and Restaurant worth a stop in 2026?
I stopped by the one near Quiapo last year and the longganisa silog was the standout, garlic rice done properly. Budget around 120 to 150 pesos for a full meal with drinks. Go before noon, the lunch crowd fills it fast.
Longganisa silog is the right call there, sweet and garlicky with a good snap. Ask for extra atchara on the side, it cuts the richness. Weekends the line snakes past the door by 11:30 so aim earlier.
Not sure about 2026 prices but try the tapsilog, it's hard to mess up.
Fair point on tapsilog, though the tocilog at their Makati branch holds up better and runs about 130 pesos.
The tocino there does have a better char on it, no argument. Just check the branch hours before you trek out, some of their spots close by 7pm on weekdays.
Ermita branch stays open till 9.
