"Dealing with the crowds at Grand Central Market never seems particularly worth it with a group, but you should make the exception for a solo meal at Sari Sari Store. This Filipino food stall from the team behind Republique serves dishes like crunchy lumpia, crispy sisig fried rice, thick-sliced lechon kawali, and creamy halo-halo. If you come on a weekday, the lines won’t be too long to grab a seat at their wrap-around counter overlooking the tiny kitchen." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren
