Chilis makes mad burgers. The Filling Station at the bottom of Burgos St. has impressed me in the past.

The situation with getting scammed in Manila is just part of the cost of doing business. Paul is a great resource for people moving there but he either has a lot to learn or he isn't exposed to the White Man Scams.
Rockwell assisted in a scam by the owner to steal money from my deposit. The 2 months security deposit is a complete scam, because unlike Australia, the funds aren't held in escrow by the government (or even by Ayala / Rockwell), the funds are held by the owner. You're basically at the mercy of the owner, and I was 2/2 exposed to complete scamming owner ****s on my two apartments in this regard.
It's a pretty generic scam in Manila. I had to threaten the lives of both owners before I received my security deposits back, both 4-5 months after leaving and both docked a couple thousand $ without receipts of supposed (bull****) repair work completed.
