YUMMM! ...Or HUMMM?...: GOOD BITES - A MOUTHFUL OF GOODNESS

We met Jeff (I so endearingly call Aling Jeff) when he had just recently bought the place from a Middle Eastern owner. For a short time this place had an identity crisis, the former clientele slowly stopped coming because some of the dishes were not being offered or maybe it was weird for some to be buying their flat bread from a Filipino ( but to this day former clients still come by for the flat bread, so good) That was when he decided to go Filipino and kept a few of the best from the former owner's menu.

A SHORT FUNNY STORY
One day, we were throwing around ideas for the a new name with Pia R , her husband Philippe who happens to be french and lived in Manila for some 7 years, he had suggested his new place to be renamed "Aling Jeff''s "because he had seen so many sari sari stores and carenderia whose name started with the word "ALING" ( a term use to address a middle aged woman as a sign of respect) not knowing what it meant exactly. I almost choked on my adobo for laughing so hard... Although he had re named his place GOOD BITES , that lunch with Philippe, Pia and "Aling Jeff" will forever be engraved in my memory.

Good Bites now has a defined eclectic offerings of FILIPINO, AMERICAN and MIDDLE EASTERN with it's SILOGS, SI-nangag- garlic fried rice and it-LOG eggs ) Omelette's and a HUMMUS and FLAT BREADS which are to die for. He has perfected the hummus, kebabs and flat bread which he takes orders for parties as cocktail appetizers and/or dinner starters.

The food is great and the place small and cozy with (Aling) Jeff's welcoming and nurturing attention give this place and it's food a home cooked meal dining experience each time you visit. YUMMM
