Best Posts in Thread: Restaurant warning let's see if this is a good forum

Some of these problems you'll get anywhere. I have heard lots of bad about Foodnet though.

I know people here who only eat from their own cooking or from highly trusted places. If they leave the city, they go on a fast.

Check out True Love. It's a one of a kind place. I have never seen anything like it. Talk to the owner, get to know him. There are large windows into the kitchen. You could watch him prepare his meals and the kitchen is spotless.

Change your diet to remove all bullshit. You shouldn't be eating at Foodnet in the first place. They could drop the food on the ground and it wouldn't look any less appetizing than I already find it. Eat at home and at places in which the food is prepared by a true craftsman and professional, like the owner of True Love.

 

I agree with you about avoiding places, what ever kind of places it may be. But on the other when a forum member has one or more bad experiences resulting he got sick pretty well, why not give a simple warning so that other people can decide for themselves to visit that or these place to consume food.
As for myself, I stay away as far as possible, so a warning like this I don't need, but who knows....many others will be grateful.

 

If you ever find yourself on the south side of the city and want a bit to eat I highly recommend you try it. For P180 you get soup, cornbread, Jerk Chicken, Jamaican Rice and beans and also a cabbage salad that kind of reminds me of a cross between Atchara and coleslaw. They also offer Beer and sodas for additional cost but offer free lemon water to all who want it.

 

True Love is located on South Road about 2/3 of kilometer past robinson's Place on the left hand side as you drive towards Bacong. Opens in mornings around 8am close about 9pm. I love the soup and cornbread you get with all meals I think and the Jerk Chicken is delicious IMO. The owner is very friendly and helpful also.

 

I do not contribute often to internet forums because they are heavily censored.

But since the owner here is relatively new, and because this is kinda a public service warning, I will give it a shot.

I used to eat at foodnet downtown alot. The food looked good and prices not too bad, although calenderias are often cheaper.

After several months I saw that the owner ******************. Then I got food poisoning. I was sick about 10 days with diarrhea. About a month later, I meet a filipina friend who told me her cousin had just checked out of Holy child after getting sick at foodnet. This applies to foodnet downtown location.

So I stopped eating there except for breakfast which was prepared while I waited. Then about two weeks ago I was watching the fry cook there prepare eggs and sausage. I witnessed him dropping a sausage on the floor, picking it up and putting it directly on the plate again.

Then about a week ago, I left an expensive item on one of their tables. I did not notice it till after I left as I thought I had put it back in my pack. Turns out it was stolen, either by an employee or someone in the restaurant. I guess this must happen not infrequently cause they have a sign up to watch your things at all times.

So the upshot is, be careful at foodnet downtown. They do not have covers on their food and if you eat much past their preparation time, you food will be served stone cold together with any multiplying bacteria.

I may continue breakfast there, but I sure as hell will keep my eyes open whenever I am at this place. If I find as cheap an alternative, I will drop them alltogether.
