MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines bears the distinction of celebrating Christmas longer than any other country in the world. Festivities and merriment abound, centered on parties and feasts.
As everyone looks forward to a grandiose lineup of food, sometimes it gets less exciting when you feel that you get the same offerings of traditional delights each year. How about tweaking it a little bit, where the whole family, and even friends, can go and dine out and enjoy themselves without the hassle of preparing?
They are sure to get this kind of experience at Hotshots Burgers, one of the most popular hamburger joints in the country and now a full-service, fun-loving family restaurant, which is also celebrating its 12th anniversary this month.
Kids will surely love Hotshots’ version of the Filipino-style spaghetti with that unforgettable taste of sweet tomato sauce with hotdog, ham slices and grated cheese, while Ate enjoys the classic spaghetti recipe with rich, meaty tomato sauce flavored with herbs and spices over the noodles.
