Never Empty Coffee Pot

See, we did order all the famous ones but sad to say it is not the best. I feel that it is overrated. Pancakes our not that good but we really love the hash browns! The coffee is not good at all, I hope I just went to Starbucks and buy one.

Also, the servers seemed to be very sleepy. When I asked for the receipt, I had to call the waiter 3 times because they double charge us with some of the items. We would tell the manager and the manger will tell the staff. How weird is that huh?

We will not be going back anytime soon. Maybe we would try their Lunch and Dinner items next time.

Address: W Global Center, 30th street cor 9th Avenue, BGC, Taguig

Wellcome Supermarket Philippines

IMG_0096

Wellcome  is a supermarket chain owned by Jardine Matheson Holdings via its Dairy Farm subsidiary. The Wellcome supermarket chain is one of the two largest supermarket chains in Hong Kong.  Recently, the Tantoco family behind the Rustans retail empire has partnered with JMH to bring Wellcome here in the Philippines.

So, I checked it out what they offer:

First impression: Better than 7-11.

Second impression:  Same as Rustan’s Supermarket
