roadside carinderia
The kind of food stalls commonly found in some Southeast Asian countries are conspicuously absent from the streets of Manila, but there are roadside carinderia . These basic eateries, often family owned, display a selection of pre-cooked dishes on a counter or in a glass case. They usually include adobo (pork and/or chicken cooked in vinegar, soy sauce and garlic), sinigáng (pork, fish or prawns in sour soup) and various preparations of bangús (milkfish, native to the Philippines). These places are called turu-turò (literally point-point) as ordering is a simple case of pointing at whatever takes your fancy.

Greenbelt Shopping Mall Restaurants
You are only limited by your ability to choose when you eat in Makati. There's something for every budget and taste. In fact the restaurants in the Greenbelt 2 and 3 shopping malls are among the best and most popular in Manila. On any night, hordes of people stroll past the many fine restaurants on various levels pondering which one to select. It's a fun scene.
Almost every place in Makati, especially those in Greenbelt, has both air-con dining rooms and large outdoor patios that are perfect for people-watching.

Lumiere
Lumiere is luminescent in sashes of white and is a little refuge away from the Makati hustle. Popular with local artists and creative types, it is a good place to while away a few hours lost in thought or discussion.

open-air barbecue places
There's a few good choices in Intramuros - but fewer than you would think. To go really casual, look for the open-air barbecue places near the Baluarte de Santa Lucia.

D
Korean Village
This place is huge, but the service is friendly, the beer is cheap, and the beef barbecue meal hits the spot.
