Though we've been finding ourselves in the constant race against the clock, it is still important to take a break from chaos once in awhile. Thus, on a typical Thursday, I took the chance to candidly invite my sisters for a quick lunch at the Public Eatery - where the neighborhood meets to gather over good food.

| Hanging Truffled Chicken Shish Kebab (550 php) |
Public Eatery stands as a bustling and vibrant food hub, reminiscent of a bustling subway station's concourse. Here, people converge to engage in lively chatter and indulge in the masterfully crafted creations conceptualized by celebrated chefs. Just like each subway train leads to a different adventure, each and every one of the 16 food and beverage station offers its own unique culinary experience.
We had a fun experience navigating through the different Public Eatery stations : 1) Seafood and Oyster Bar (SOB), 2) FRNK, 3) Samyan Thai Street Food, 4)Konbini Karaage, 5) New York Cubao, 6) Bad Bird, 7) Ono Poke, 8) Anyhow, 9) Tsukemen, 10) Bookoh, 11) Morse Coffee, 12) Ok, Bob, 13) Thomson Road, 14) Le Chon, 15) The Bev Bar and 16) Merry Moo.
We're happy to share some of what we've tried! (Check our IG for more!)
1) Seafood and Oyster Bar (SOB)
Seafood and Oyster Bar (SOB) which started out as a cart concept in Public Eatery is now a full-scale bar. It serves Aklan Oysters in various innovative forms. We got to try the Oyster Kinilaw with Pani Puri (400 php) and it really left a lasting impression upon us. The delicately crisp pani puri truly elevated the kinilaw oyster experience. It added texture to the sweet and succulent fresh oysters, bathed in sinamak and adorned with cucumber and peppers.
2) FRNK
FRNK milk bar has always been one of our top comfort drink considerations. It definitely deserves the hype and followings for living up to its literal name - frank and honest. It offers guilt-free drinks and baked goods that's made of authentic plant-based ingredients such as teas sources from Morihan - Japan's largest Uji Maccha exporter and raw fruit honey. The drinks are also customizable for your dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan-friendly preference.
This FRNK branch is special because its the first one to offer coffee-based drinks. We highly recommend the Kyoto (Dirty Maccha) Latte (230 php).
3) Samyan Thai Street Food
 |
| ♥ Crab Pad Thai (720 php) |
Samyan Thai Street Food is owned by Chef ThiTid Tassanakajohn, the culinary master behind Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2023 champion and Michellin-Starred Le Du Bangkok. Certainly the Crab Pad Thai topped with generous crab meat is a must-try!
4) Konbini Karaage
Konbini Karaage offers Karaage (189 php) and Kokokke in take out boxes. You can spice them up with your mix of powder (such as yuzu salt, cheese powder, shichimi togarashi) and sauces (which include curry, hickory bbq dip and cheese).
