Limketkai Mall (LK)- Part 1

Map Courtesy of Robinsons 

Built in 92 ( 1992 not 1892 ) this has been my favourite mall spot to graze through the years . Truth is the stores inside the mall are pretty much the same ones in the other mall pastures . As to why you need  the same thing in two or three locations within  a mile or two of each other i have no idea .

Don't matter anyway since most of what i like about this pasture is what's around it rather than in it . Fact is , bout every time i go visit this pasture there's some new point to stop and kick cans at . But , best thing i like is the outdoor cafe settings at various place where one can sit back and drink a cold one while having a butt . Makes for interesting goat watching too .   :-)

 Yeah , the corporate logos are here and the atm's nearby will allow you to fuel your walk around . Morning ,  noon or night there's always a stopover just around the corner . Nearby , are some i have sampled through the years with varying results . A favourite am location for expat goats is the Missy Bon Bon .

A coffee and a pastry at this location along with just kicking the can with fellow expat goats is a must if in the area on a Wednesday am . Just around the corner from Ronald McDonald it's a good start for the walk around . 

If for no other reason than to take a photo or two for the folks back home P. Joe's Diner is a must stopover . As an American goat reminds me a bit of the old 50's James Dean or Easy Rider  kind of place . Nuting ( southern for nothing )  fancy but will definitely tickle your nostalgia bone .

A favourite for Philippine goats of all ages some love it and some just find it so so  . Based on my experience i guess i would fall into the so so camp but with a bit of a caveat . I happened to order the " ribs " for which they are supposedly famous but didn't find the bucket to be full enough for my taste .

In all fairness that's probably due to this old goat growing up in the southern US where ribs meant you better wear your bib overalls cause so as not to get q'sauce all over your good un's ( southern for Sunday going to meeting clothes ) . Where i is from you don't see the bottom of the plate till you dun got sauce a running down your elbows and you only on your first go round .

Just ta show ye i ain't a joking.. 

 Again , in fairness i have learned through the years that a serving size in the Philippine pasture is like comparing the sandbox to the beach . Probably not a bad thing given that yanks tend to be overly robust but it wasn't just the ribs . It was also the " fixings " , ya know . I mean , nothing against rice but ribs to this old goat require tater salad , fries , corn on the cob or at least something besides what i eat at home all the time .   :-)

In fairness , Bigby's ribs were tender and tasty but bout the size of my finger and why they called that sauce BB'Q i  ain't sure since i am certain they bought it in the ketchup section of the grocery . All , which means you just gonna have to try Bigby's out for yerself ( southern for yourself ) . But , i would think twice about the Q'.   :-)

      

This place probably had the best pizza in town for a good while though i am told that's changed with the new mall pasture but more about that pasture later .Tried the chicken wings one time and didn't have the heart to tell um to send the chicken back to it's mother cause it ain' grown up yet but that's another story . Speaking of stories we will pick this one up in LK - part 2 cause right now i hear the lunch bell clanking .
