A Taste of South East Asia at Me Love You Long Time

Hello my gorgeous readers! Who among you loves to travel? What’s so fascinating about traveling is that you get to taste authentic food which represents that particular place. And whenever you go back to your own place, your taste buds crave for what you had. Oh, now I miss traveling!

Now, here’s another food review episode in which being able to travel became one of the main ingredients why this particular restaurant landed in the metro. Not too long ago, a group of friends who love to travel came up with a brilliant idea of bringing the taste of Southeast Asian in a newly-established food park in Quezon City.

Me Love You Long Time, yes that’s the name of the restaurant! Okay, a bit of trivia on the side.. It was an excerpt from the movie Full Metal Jacket, a war film set in Vietnam directed by Stanley Kubrick. They fell in love with a Vietnamese sandwich called Banh Mi that was the very first dish they wanted to serve which represents the country. Eventually, they decided to have the taste of Southeast Asian cuisine!

Since I never get to international travels yet, I’m very much excited to taste the food inspired from these countries! Eat today, then travel someday! Hahaha!

Get ready for an international gastronomic gluttony ahead!
