Hello Steemit and Foodies out there!
Today I will show you my recent travel in Manila as I had a great dining experience in “Pedro ‘N Coi”.
But before we go further, let’s discover first the derivation of the restaurant’s name, “Perdo ‘N Coi”. It was named after the nicknames of the couple who owned this resto. They are some of the famous persons here in the country, the businessman Lloyd Lee (Pedro) and (‘N) Shamcey Supsup (Coi), the 2011 Miss Universe 3rd Runner-up. Oh she is not only famous in the Philippines but rather in the whole Universe. Lol!
This restaurant showcases the authentic Pilipino Genre during the 90’s. The interior is composed of Pinoy elements just like inside a typical home, like the wooden and metal table and chairs in the 90’s. The walls are designed with popular television shows and personalities. Pedro ‘N Cio recreated the ambience of eating outside the house, in the street similar during fiestas.
Also, the exticing experience in eating inside the iconic transportation in the Philippines, the Jeepney.
The colors inside is so festive and inviting, representing the cheerful characters of the Filipinos.
On the other side of the walls you will find the depiction of the busy city of Manila and the well know landmark in Sta. Cruz.
While the second level, the old wooden house and the capiz shell windows was remarkable, it was like stepping in the ancestrals house back in the days.
But not only that, the interesting part is their MENU, if you’re a ”Batang 90’s”,
just like me 😅 you will definitely smile and will relate to the names in the menu. With the popular tag lines, jokes, names and personalities are the food names we’re derived which sound really funny for others but made really sense.
And speaking of food, of course we got our orders:
This is the “Talong Ranger”, named from the band The Lone Rangers in the 90’s. Talong is Eggplant in English, basically it is an Eggplant Omelet. A special eggplant omelet with ground pork topped with salted duck egg, fresh tomato and onions.
We also have “May Asim Pa”, a popular phrase which usually address to a middle-aged person that still good looking or “yummy” 😅. Well, this dish is “Sinigang”, a Filipino sour soup made from deep fried pork belly in Tamarind with vegetables like petchay, string beans, tomatoes, eggplant, radish and taro.
Ofcourse, we tried the house specialty, the “Manok ni Pedro, their very own version of slow roasted marinated bone-in chicken.
A whole roasted chicken, cut in half platted with soy sauce, hot sauce, atchara and blanched kangkong stem. All dishes are paired with plain rice.
The taste was all good as it looks, the tang of Pinoy cuisine! 😋😋
Our total bill cost 1,470.00 Php (about 30.00 Usd) good for 3-4 persons.
It was past noontime when we arrived in the place, the mall goers are almost done with their lunch. Perfect for us to have a quit meal and photo taking. Haha!
Pedro ‘N Coi is located at 3rd level of Fisher Mall in Quezon City, Philippines.
All photos are captured by my Samsung S7edge.
Thank you for dropping by and have a good day.
Hi there @bluesapphire06!
Glad to have bumped to a fellow filipino! Congrats on your curie!
First of all, i had been wanting to vist that place in the future.. hehe good thing nakita ko post mo.. yes i have read quite a review too of their business venture. They have gotten excellent feedbacks especially that they are promoting our own. I love the jeepney inspired theme, its so homey! And with the colorful and festive accessories it always reminds us how we celebrate fiestas and other special occasions. That alone makes us pinoy!
Just by looking all your food shots, it all made me hungry all of a sudden. It is really unique and very interesting to name recipes out of the ordinary. I love the "my asim pa" sinigang versuon.. hehe soooo cute! And i pity San Pedro that his manok has been cooked! Hahaha that was funny indeed. Very clever.
With said, I cant wait to set foot in Manila once again.
Thanks dear friend for a sumptuous and yummy post!
Cheers! ❤

Thanks for entering @steemfoodtours #53!
Thank you. 😊
I like trying different foods from around the world. What I find interesting is how they adapt the flavors and use things we wouldn't think of using. I have learnt form previous experiences to dodge these sorts of paces as they are normally a tourist trap.This food looks good and the prices are not too bad for what you ordered either.
Thank you ... Trying different food from around the world is not just tasting the flavors but also learning their culture. 😉

Hi bluesapphire06,

Wow! Thank you so much curie, yehey! ☺️
Looks like a very interesting place, a must visit, if you're in that area. I like the bus very much, it's kind of unique and remarkable. I'm not sure the food would be suitable for my taste but I'm always open to trying new culinary masterpieces, so I'll definitely give it a try.
These people sure knew how to turn this place interesting and inviting for everyone.
Ooooo My God.....Such an amazing food tour you have in there. I really enjoyed every word and photo in your blog. Great piece but i would like to also say the next time you make such an amazing review about foods or restaurant or any food joint. Post it through tasteem.io and your will be rewarded amazingly. Keep the food tour spirit up
Wow, so many unique and delicious dishes. Sure, It was a nice food tour. The interior of the restaurant is also cool. I also found many dishes names to be funny, as I've never heard of them. For example, walang tulugan for coffee 😀 Thanks for sharing. It was fun reading it.
Wow, @bluesapphire. That is an amazing amount of very delicious looking food for a good price, as far as it goes in U.S. dollars. I don't know if that ends up being as cheap in the Philippines or not. I know how things work in Mexico. What we might think is cheap for us, isn't necessarily cheap for them, even though it costs the same.
Just an amazing combination of foods and ingredients, and it sounds like everyone enjoyed their meals.
Wife has a good friend from the Philippines. She almost went with her last year because her husband didn't want to go, but he changed his mind, which is fine because it saved some vacation time for my wife that she ended up taking off for hernia surgery (yes, she would have preferred the trip, but the pain was too much).
Congratulations on the curie. Great photos and review of the restaurant. Maybe one of these days I'll make it there. :)
