Food to partake this Holy Thursday and Good Friday

It is that time of the year again!   Yes, once a year the great Philippine nation celebrates with the whole world "Holy Week", as we join in prayer in remembering the death of Jesus on the cross, as we all wait for the coming and resurrection of Christ on glorious Easter Sunday. 

As we celebrate this holy season with our family and friends, let us put the Lord Jesus in the center of our faith.  This is also the season where we experience an exodus of people out of Metro Manila, mostly going to our provinces to see our families, and some going abroad as well to spend quality family time in vacation spots, not to mention visiting our sprawling beaches.  But still some of us will stay behind to enjoy the empty streets and silence from the daily chaos that is Metro Manila.

Well, for us the lucky ones who will be staying behind, since this is practically a food blog, let me share to you what restaurant establishment will be open in Manila to serve us during Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.  

As most of the malls in the metro are closed for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, where almost all restaurants have opened recently, some of our good friends shared their info as to who and where are the establishments that will be open to serve our hungry stomachs.
