A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

This was posted in an old entry about 24 hour food places in Manila. Unfortunately this site was in hiatus and I wasn’t able to put it up for people to read. Since there will be a lot of Christmas gimmicks, office parties and whathaveyou, I’m sure there’ll be a need to find a place to duck out and wind down. I can’t confirm this so, take it with a grain of salt but it’s interesting nonetheless:

Too bad I found this news group article thingy just now, almost a year after it was originally posted.

Though it’s been that long, I still want to enlighten whosoever may still drop by and read this.

GoodAh was established March 14 1983, and we haven’t changed our concept in over 20 years. Last 2003 we started to create a new concept, and during this 21st year we have aleady implemented it.

We opened a NEW WEST restaurant just a few feet away from the old one. This time it’s air conditioned and with more and better food.

We also opened a NEW LIBIS restaurant just behind the CitiBank building. The Libis restaurant has a bigger outdoor area and the tables were designed to accommodate small group meetings.

Our coffee is free. We have bottomless drinks. We’re still as cheap as ever.

We’ve added beer, though some stores sells beer only at night, but Libis has it 25 hours a day.

My father coined all the funny terms like “Matsala sa yoi”, Pagkaing good for everyall”, “barbie q hahn”, “what’s your step”, “open 25 hours”, even the words “Tapsi, Tosi, Longsi, Adsi, and all the …si foods you see today in almost every restaurant was originally from us. We also implemented the NO MSG policy that again a lot of restaurants copies these days.

Open 25 Hours means that we work one hour more than any other 24 hour restaurant in the world. Other 24 hour restaurants close down during some holidays, but we don’t. Actually, sometimes we do close if maintenance work is needed, but we rarely stay closed for over 12 hours a year.

As mentioned in newspapers like Business Week, we’re starting to franchise. You can grab a free CitiGuide from your nearest StarBucks if you want to know all our addresses, but here they are anyway:

Libis QC - Behind CitiBank
West Ave - Stone’s throw away from the old branch
EDSA Central - Beside Mercury Drug in the bus stop, soon in the new EDSA Central new mall
Sucat - across McDo President Ave

Soon to open:
Somewhere near Malacanang
Somewhere in Pampanga
Somewhere in Bataan
Somewhere in Cebu
etc

Please feel free to comment in this site which I will check once in a while from now on, or e-mail me at goodahfoodhouse@hotmail.com.

Regards to all our loyal fans, and thank you.
