Goodah!!!

It was quite a surprise for me to find out that Goodah!!! is still very much around after all these years. What started out as a goto-han is now your regular out-doorsy diner with that all familiar red and white chairs and tables.

We passed by this branch along Dona Soledad Avenue inside Better Living Subdivision here in Paranaque.




There is still that counter for those who choose to dine while sitting on those red stools.



There is ample space for parking.


Their tapsilog remains to be my favorite (and Suu's too).


Mon had their jumbo plate which is like a sampler of the different items on the menu.. the embutido, tapa & tocino with the egg and fried rice.


It is good to see that somehow, there are still all-pinoy businesses in the country that are surviving and thriving.

Tangkilikin ang sariling atin!

  3. Wow! Memory lane time again, Gita. =)

    Goodah reminds me of high school and those midnight drag races. Those were the days: cheap food and cheap fuel. =)

  4. Gita,
    Is "GotoHaven" owned by the late actor Vic Silayan still around in Morayta and GreenHills? They used to serve the best Goto in town. Also, there was this gotohan on the side of Malate Church that served goto with deep fried garlic(as much as you want from a jar)and was open 24/7, just can't remember the name of the place. The Goodah here in the San Fernanado Valley is ok, quite a bit pricey and parking is very limited since it's alongside mostly pinoy eateries and very busy on weekend mornings.

  5. ang kaso, houseband00, hindi na din sha cheap ngayon... just like fuel prices here. about P70-80 a dish (drinks not included), not your average meal price dito. but still, people flock to goodah!!! na mememory-lane din siguro, just like us! hahaha...

    noypetes, i dont think i see those restaurants around anymore. ang dami nang bago sa GH at malate/ermita area... baka wala na. sayang naman...

  7. it is one of them, senorE. and here in paranaque, it is not just the tapsilogans that abound... there are lots of tummy fillers here that are worth checking out. do come!

    i have ten of these dolls, senorE. and i bring one with me everyday to work. in case i get a good photo op. it's cool to be able to interchange their hairstyles and their clothes. hahaha... yea, like that should interest you! hehehe...

    thanks for dropping by...
