The FOOD Topic.

[Lord_Leperman]

So is the ice cream thing a go? Grim, Nix, Shin, Nerese, and Sforza? I'm going if any of you guys are.

Anyway, back to the topic. I've always taken special care about budgeting my food for a certain day at work, and I've been doing this since I first got my allowance because I am a very thrifty person when it comes to food for myself. My current limit is to always spend less than 100 pesos a day and get the most satisfaction out of it and I've been doing it since the start of college.

Here are my current under 100 peso meals and snack combinations based on where I work. Note the prices are based on the current date and are subject to changes based on inflation:

Option 1

Musashi Takoyaki's Okonomiyaki - 70 pesos
Nissin's Cup noodle Yakisoba (Local, spicy chicken flavor) - 13.50
Optional: C2 350ml - 14 pesos OR Instant Miso Soup mix - 16.50

Cheap faux Japanese snack/lunch. Beats the stuff they serve in Tokyo-Tokyo for exactly 100 pesos. Somehow I don't get tired of eating this, mostly because the Okonomiyaki tastes really good, while the noodles pair up well with the dish. I sometimes mix the instant yakisoba with the Okonomiyaki together.

Option 2

Jollibee's 39ers meals X2 - 78 pesos
Optional: Zesto Rootbeer 500ml - 20 pesos or Mister Dounut random donut - 11 - 20 pesos

I buy this lunch if I want to feel full. The rice-to-topping ratio is absurd and I usually end up eating just 1 and 1/2 serving of rice included and I'd still feel full at the end of the day. Definitely a personal option whenever I want to stuff myself.

I find these meals give the most value for money in Jollibee. They come in 2 different options, one has the burger steak patty, 2 Shanghai Rolls, and a big cup of rice. The other comes with 5 Shanghai Rolls and a big cup of rice. I usually go for the former though.

Option 3

Rap Beef Beef Shawarma Rice - 45
Jumbo Hotdog on stick - 25
Asado Siopao from Chinese Restaurant - 30

Provides all I need to survive a day at work. Shawarma rice has a little too much rice, so I go ahead and buy a hotdog to offset the difference. The Siopao becomes my snack afterward.

I have more options, but I'll list them down another time.

Honda, if you get 3 slices of bread, stack them together and you have a bread sandwich! Chew them a bit longer and they start to taste sweeter
