Zeny's Fastfood and Restaurant in Manila worth it?

fmd_goodZeny's Fastfood and Restaurant · #restaurant #manila #fastfood
I'm in Manila for a few days in 2026 and Zeny's Fastfood and Restaurant keeps coming up. Is it actually worth a stop and what should I order there? I'm in Manila for a few days in 2026 and Zeny's Fastfood and Restaurant keeps coming up. Is it actually worth a stop and what should I order there?

The tapa holds up, but the tapsilog is where the value is. Ask for extra garlic rice and a side of atsara, it cuts the salt nicely. Skip the sodas and get a calamansi juice instead.

calamansi juice is the right call, get it fresh squeezed not bottled

Tapsilog before 9am, that's when the tapa's freshest.

Zeny's on Bautista Street, near the Quiapo side.

Fair warning, the lines at that spot get long by late morning, so pass by early if you want a seat.

Manila dating 2026: where do people actually meet?

fmd_goodFe-Bulous Canteen · #coffee
I'm moving to Manila later this year and trying to get a read on the dating scene before I land. Is it mostly apps, or do people still meet through friends and work? I keep hearing about casual coffee… I'm moving to Manila later this year and trying to get a read on the dating scene before I land. Is it mostly apps, or do people still meet through friends and work? I keep hearing about casual coffee spots like Fe-Bulous Canteen as low-pressure first date places, so curious how that usually goes.

Fe-Bulous works because it's cheap and you can bail after one coffee without it feeling like a failed date. I'd say apps get you the first meetup but friends-of-friends still carry most serious introductions, especially in Makati and BGC circles.

from what i've seen visiting, a lot of people meet through church groups & running clubs in bgc, plus the whole "mutual friend invites u to a birthday" thing. apps are big but the serious stuff often starts offline. idk, felt more organic than i expected

Birthday invites, yes. Running clubs less so, they skew expat.

Bar trivia nights and hobby groups around Quezon City tend to break the ice faster than apps ever will.
