Philippines - Day 4

Image
Metro Manila is known for its really bad traffic especially during rush hour. Our flight back to Kota Kinabalu Airport scheduled at 9.05am and we departed from  New World Makati Hotel at 6am to avoid the rush hour. We took a Grab car (Cost: PHP 200) and reached Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 6.15am. It took us 15 minutes to reach the airport from our hotel. Entrance to the airport is very strict as only passengers with boarding passes are allowed inside the airport. Your luggage have to go through security check twice. Once at the entrance of the airport terminal and another one before immigration. It took us almost an hour queuing at the immigration for clearance. Luckily we were early and have plenty of time. We had our breakfast at Tapa King located at Terminal 3 inside the pre departure hall. Both of us had Tapa King comes with thin slices of tender beef, rice and a sunny side up egg. The food was okay, nothing superb. Initially I wanted to have Kenny Rodger's but

So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
