For that sugar high craving, this refreshment will deliver. From middle school up to this day, I am impressed that Goldilock’s has actually kept their recipe consistent. Not that mixing up a Sago Gulaman is difficult. Although, for a sweet tooth like myself, I actually find this treat a little too sweet for me. If I get one, I won’t be able to finish it all. We all know that all too sweet stuff can actually make you thirsty.

If I were asked what is the better choice, Chowking’s or Goldilock’s siopao, I would gladly answer the latter in a heartbeat! The former’s siopao is not just pricier. It’s okay for those who have not tasted better ones. But again, Goldilocks’ is the yummier pick. The pictures below will tell you why. The white bun from Goldilocks has rich fillings of chorizo and chunks of salted egg while Chowking’s bola-bola siopao has none whatsoever. I used to like it but that was before Goldilocks. I forgot already how much Chowking’s siopao costs, from what I remember it was around more than a dollar each. While for Goldilocks, a bola-bola would cost around $0.85while an asado is around $0.63. Not bad, eh?

Ohana is located at the second floor of Megamall Bldg. A. We have tried this place out basically because of its free WiFi for diners and soon found out that their barbeque dishes are not all that bad. They have this signature taste that seems to be evident in each dish. Their restaurant theme is unmistakenly Hawaiian, with the girl in a grass skirt serving the patrons and the background music that repeats itself over and over again. I swear the hubby and I still had their music in our heads hours after we left their place! I am so glad that during our last visit (last Saturday), they incorporated some other music aside from their theme song that goes, “Ohana! Ohana!”

This Chicken Musubi costs around $2.90 and it is Hawaii meets Tokyo kind of meal. It is not bad but I should say they have better meals.
