the hippo is hungry

I have such fond memories of Hungry Hippo when I was working at the PSE Center in Ortigas years ago.  My favorite is their steak and cheese burger.  Back then it used to cost around Php50.  And even then it was more expensive than the regular Jollibee or McDonalds burger but cheaper than Brothers Burger.  So in comparison, it was like eating an order of Brother's burger for the prices of Jollibee or McDonalds.  Can't recall though if their burgers used to come with fries and soda.

When I first moved to my apartment building, I was delighted to find that there was a Hungry Hippo just across the street but for some reason, I've never had time to drop by for a burger.  When I started my current job though, it was like a sign from heaven.  There was a branch near the office.  I had to have their steak and cheese burger again. 

Had dinner there tonight.  The price of their gourmet burgers had gone higher by around 30 bucks.  No matter.  I was hoping against hope that it still tasted as good as I remembered it.  And it was.  The burger was the same size as before.  Same taste, same "meatiness" and same size. 

This hippo went home not hungry at all. 

And yes, it's a great pun…a burger joint  for an herbivore.  Hungry Hippo.

*Sorry no pictures though.  Was too hungry for that.  Maybe next time
