ANGELES CITY -- "Where to eat?"
This is probably one of the most difficult questions to answer when we're out with family or friends. Because oftentimes, we have different food preferences.
One might prefer Asian flavors, while the other might be craving for something Western. And there will be others who would go for the ambiance.
