The 38 Best Manila Restaurants | Eater

"With the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race Philippines in 2022, the Manila drag scene has never been more exciting. Online specialty bakery-turned-weekend cafe Butterboy regularly holds Saturday drag brunches and meriendrag (a play on merienda, or snack time): daytime drag performances with set meals of pastries and sandwiches. The place is owned by Hilder Demeterio and partner Jayson So, who describe themselves as “not pastry chefs, just pastry gays.” You can preorder Butterboy for delivery Tuesday through Sunday (there’s no dine-in service on weekdays), walk in from 8 a.m. to noon on weekends, and reserve for events on the website." - Toni Potenciano
