Friday night crowds are usually something I try to avoid. Busy malls don't appeal to me, so I look for restaurants in isolated buildings or street corners instead. Lately though, I find myself drawn to the famous Jupiter St. in Makati, where a row of restaurants line the length of the street one after the other.
While I have eaten at some of the eateries on the street before, I want to make it a goal to try them all (and write my stories) before the year ends. We'll be starting off with Lutong Macau, an oriental restaurant that's a popular spot for small gatherings among Makati corporate drones.
Luckily, the place wasn't too crowded when we got there. We were ushered to our table pretty quickly and were welcomed with the very distinct smell of Chinese cooking. Our predicament was that we wanted to try many dishes, but as there were just two of us, it seemed a bit indulgent to order too much on a regular night.
