Ersao 二嫂: Reminiscing High School Days

When I was in high school, there are only three items I buy from our school canteen: 1. Snowy (it's a cheaper version of 7-11's Slurpee) 2. Ersao Spicy Squid 3. Ersao Fruit Shake.  The Ersao 二嫂  Spicy Squid is a family favorite even my mom likes it.  She occasionally requests us to buy her some so she can eat it whenever she picks us up from school.

That was a very long time ago so imagine our glee when we saw an Ersao 二嫂 branch open here in Malate just a few blocks from home.  They also have a free parking area.  We couldn' help but reminisce our high school days so we paid it a visit.

Unlike a stall in school, it is a full-blown restaurant which adopts a pay-as-you-order system.

Food
They now have more menu selections including rice meals but most of them are not available.  We managed to order every Rice Topping that was available.

Rice Toppings

Spicy Chicken Rice (85 php)

The Spicy Chicken Rice is good.  It was crunchy, peppery and tender on the inside.  But, I still think that these are better off eaten as snacks.

♥ Spicy Squid Rice (85 php)

The Spicy Squid Rice is still the winner for us.  It's exacty as I remembered only a bit tougher to chew.  But next time, I'll just have it as a snack.

 

Taiwan Sausage Rice (110 php)

The Taiwan Sausage Rice is not a bad option either.  It's more suitable with rice the the former two because it was more savory.

Pork Chao Fan (120 php)

The Pork Chao Fan is a bit expensive given the toppings...


Noodles

Beef Kamto Noodles (100 php)

The Beef Kamto Noodles is comes with bokchoy and beef bits.  It's served warm and the flavor is just right.  The size is just not as fulfilling as I hoped.

Drinks

Blended Green Tea

Yakult Green Tea Regular (65 php)

The Yakult Green Tea was a bit bland for our taste.

Freshly Brewed Milk Tea

Rose Milk Tea (105 php)

The Rose Milk Tea is a bit pricey.  I kind of remembered their drinks to be cheaper.  Taste-wise it was fragrant so I enjoyed it.

Shake Float

♥ Avocado Shake Float (115 php)

The Avocado Shake Float is an upgraded version of my favorite Avocado Shake.  This is so heavenly!  If only it wasn't loaded with so much calories, I could have this everyday.  It has a vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, pearls, nata and super creamy avocado fruit shake.  I highly recommend this!  But on guilt-conscious and budget-conscious days, I can settle for the Avocado Shake. =))


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Ersao 二嫂 is a good stop-over for affordable Taiwanese snacks and drinks especially their Fresh Fruit Shakes.
