The main reason why we love to travel is to eat. Tasting the specialty of a country is like having a glimpse of what their culture is. This is why everyone was so excited to try Makansutra – a famous hawker stall in Singapore that came here in Manila. We don’t have to ride a plane to have a feast of the best Asian street food which Makansutra offers. Plus, it was actually known in Singapore for its open air restaurant. Here in SM Megamall, it’s fully air-conditioned.
As you enter, I felt like I was transformed to another country. With over 11 food stalls to choose from, each with their own specialty. No food stall is serving same kind of dish. Drinks and dessert also have a separate stall as well.

It comes with shrimps, fish cake and squid balls. The soup is creamy and flavorful but I bit pricey for a bowl of laksa.

We ordered Roti Prata with Egg which comes with Plain Curry. The curry has different spices but it’s not hot.
