From the film · EP04 Eat Here, Not There

The same dish at PHP 180 and PHP 1,200.

Makati and BGC, four hours, six stops, with a licensed local guide who eats here. You will not get fleeced and you will not get sick. You will also find out what things actually cost.

The first run is January 2027 and six seats is the whole thing. It is not bookable yet, because we will not sell you a date before the guide is signed and the insurance is bound. Join the waitlist and you get first refusal when the date is set.

How it works

Four hours, six stops, one guide.

  1. A Saturday afternoon, Makati or BGC
    We tell you where to meet and what to wear. Four hours, mostly walking, one short ride. The first date goes to the waitlist before it goes anywhere else.
  2. Six stops, with the prices said out loud
    Street level and sit down. Your guide tells you what each thing costs a local, which is the part nobody says.
  3. A licensed guide runs it, not us
    A local guide who works these streets. We book it, we film it, and we are there. We are still choosing that guide, and we will name them on this page before we take a booking.
  4. You get the list afterwards
    Every stop, with what we paid, so you can go back without us.
What it costs

Our fee, and the fees that are not ours.

Anything extra you orderOn you, at the menu price

The guide is paid a set rate and we take no cut of anything you buy at a stop. No restaurant pays to be on this route, per our standards.

Before you ask

The honest part.

The waitlist

Six seats on the first one. Tell us you want one.

Email us and say roughly when you are in Manila. That is the whole form. It reaches a person, not a robot, and you get a real answer the same day.

When the date is set, the waitlist hears first and nobody else hears until it is full. If you decide against it then, say so and that is the end of it.
