Very spacious, plenty of tables and they have free parking too. They are famous for their buttered fried chicken - a must try! Currently they have two branches, first in Centermall, second in Carino Street near Burham.
3.) Bruno’s Restaurant
Almost the same with Good Taste but the menu is exclusive Filipino dishes. They serve plenty of meat in their dishes, my favorite is their crispy sinigang, the pork is fried first then they top it off with sinigang soup and vegetables. Most of their dish are fried or at least partially fried then added with some soup or sauce, so a lot of the dishes taste similar. They have parking space too, though limited.

5.) Jack’s Restaurant
Similar style to Goodtaste and almost similar menu, they’re top rivals in local fast food. Jack’s is smaller in terms of venue, but they have 4 branches.
